Class Technology

I’m most excited to explore website publishing for my class project this semester. I’ve casually played with platforms like WordPress and Wix (and GeoCities back in the day), but I’ve never had a specific project in mind that I wanted to work on and complete. Hopefully I’ll have enough time to explore some HTML and CSS scripting, too. As a computer science major I’ve done a lot with programming languages, but I don’t have much experience with markup languages like HTML.


I really appreciate having access to so much helpful information about the topics we’ll be covering this semester. Since there is so much available to explore it allows each student to follow what interests them instead of following a very narrowly prescribed path. I’m looking forward to exploring more of both the Indian Epics and Mythology content sites and the Freebookapalooza site.

Hi I’m Ryan, and I’m a computer science major. I guess you could say I’m in school to prepare for my second career. My first career was as a ballet dancer, and it was my dream job. I wanted to dance before I could walk, so about as soon as I could talk I started trying to convince my parents to sign me up for dance lessons. They finally agreed when I was eight years old, and after that I never stopped taking classes until I gave my last performance as a professional ballet dancer nearly two and a half years ago. Dance and ballet in particular has been one of the most important forces that has shaped my life, so I decided to share some of the story of my career in ballet.

In high school I started to have class and rehearsal six days a week, and the level

Week 10 Story: The Hickory Lane Terror

Image
This story has been added to my portfolio project. Read the most up to date version here . Josh was walking home from school with his older brother Jacob on a beautiful, breezy spring day. It was one of those perfect days. The sun was shining, the temperature was lovely, and Josh was starting to feel excited for his tenth birthday which, as of today, was exactly one month away. The brothers turned the corner onto Hickory Lane and walked one block. At the intersection of Hickory Lane and 4th Avenue they crossed the street to walk on the north side of the road to 6th Avenue. All the children in their small town walked on the north side and never on the south side of Hickory between 4th and 6th Avenues to avoid The Hickory Lane Terror.

The decades old white paint that hadn't already peeled off was gray with age and the windows were so dusty someone on the street could barely tell if an
