    What made you interested in this topic?

    The topic that drew me to P2PU was groups on web design and development. My interest in these areas has been growing along with my realization of the importance of these tools; they're tools used to create, manipulate, and present content/data to a worldwide audience, and like any tools, becoming proficient in their use is the key to success.

     

    What do you hope to achieve by participating?

    I hope to achieve a better understanding of the tools I'm interested in, as well as those that are important to my area of interest even though I might never actually use them. I also hope to have fun and partake in group experiences so that I can not only learn from/with others, but also so that others can learn from/with me as well.
     

    Are you interested in helping with the study group organization?

    Currently as a novice I'm not sure what I can do, but the answer is far from a 'no'.

    Public Set Answer:

    What is you current CSS background/experience?

    I'm a novice working my way toward intermediate. I've worked through multiple books and have a solid understanding of CSS, how it works, and what its purpose is. I feel comfortable in my editor and reading HTML/CSS. I've recently been focusing on web page layout and have been building custom layouts for random wikipedia pages since they have an abundance of content to be manipulated.
     

    What would you like to see offered from this course regarding CSS?

    I'm not 100% sure what to expect, but I'm hoping for a place to study and learn with/from others, as well as possible group exercises to not only challenge us, but give us others to tackle our problems with. All-in-all though, I really want to hone my CSS and design skills and meet other aspiring designers like myself.

     

    Why do you want to learn CSS?

    The internet is an amazing thing, and just like every other form of media, it also needs to be visually appealing and have its content laid out in a manner that makes since to the user. I love the idea of learning the tools to create designs that can be seen worldwide. I love the idea of trying to master tools that can allow me to create something on the greatest piece of technology since the printing press. It's incredibly flexible, the only creative limit is the designer (and probably a client, but that's besides the point at the moment), and we have the power to create things that can further help unite the people of the world by bringing them to the same places to share the same interests (sounds cheesy, but it's true).
