UCONN DMD ADVANCED WEB DESIGN

I am Arturo Laínez, a junior majoring in DMD with a concentration in business strategies.  I have worked in hospitality for four years. I have worked as a pool matron, cashier, runner, busser, dishwasher, cook, and most recently as waiter. I have also worked in landscaping for the past 6 years. I am originally from El Salvador, a small nation located in Central America. I am also a resident of Stamford since 2004. I aspire to work as a brand strategists for a company like Terakeet. I consider myself a jack of all-trades (possibly master of none). I want to leave this class with the ability to build a comprehensive website for small businesses. I am particularly interested in learning more about javascript & j3query.  I hope we have a great semester! Flaming High Five, Artie

Hello! My name is Alexa, a graduating senior with Digital Media and Design: Strategies for Business as my major and a minor in Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. I came to Uconn as an Anthropology Major, switched to Buisness Admin, than came over to the DMD side because I missed art. I grew up drawing, painting, sewing, and working with clay. I guess I've always done a bit of everything! After taking a break from Web Design and Coding for about a year,  I'm ready to continue a relationship with it again. Javascript is something that is catching my attention at the moment, but I'm open to learning new things.

Hello, I'm Emily Serven. I have decided on web development as my career, and I'm looking forward to furthering my current skill set in this class. For my personal focus in this class, I want to work on a web application that involves JS, an API, a database, and some kind of backend framework or language (PHP? node.js? Ruby? I have no idea right now). My latest short-term passion project was a game of " Rock, Paper, Scissors " using JavaScript, and my latest long-term passion project is a website to hold documentation (" RefDocs ").  My portfolio is located here  ( the source code is here ) and includes my personal blog, which has even more of my thoughts on development and design.
