I am beginning to get into coding work as an STA, so I spent one week going through an HTML/CSS tutorial online (http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/). It was quite a lot of information and a lot of work to follow along, but I’m happy with the final product.
Here are screenshots of the project website at various points from scratch to final product:
Getting to know HTML
Getting to know HTML
Using the Box Model
Positioning Content
Working with Typography
Setting Backgrounds & Gradients
Creating Lists

Organizing Data with Tables
Adding Media
Building Forms
Here is a screenshot of a snippet of the code (HTML & CSS) that produced the above webpages:
Two weeks ago, Andre gave the new STAs a tutorial on Cascade, the CMS that the College of Liberal Arts uses. We’ve been assigned Cascade training in order to help familiarize ourselves with the system.
I also created a quick mock-up of another possible design of the Texas Beyond History Trans Pecos webpage in Photoshop.
After finishing the HTML/CSS tutorial, I’m now working with Stacy to begin writing the HTML/CSS for some of the Texas Beyond History webpage mockups that we’ve been creating over the past two weeks.
