Dance Video

I personally liked what he said in the first video. It’s good to experiment with Journalism while you are still in college. Journalism had the opposite effect on me though. It was still a valid point. And I liked how he said that programming and web programming IS something you can learn on your own but you have to be rather dedicated to it. I really enjoy programming for the web but I think if I were to pursue a career in it I would want to go back to school for it after I get my B.A. here.

 

I also watched the video on Usability. I thought it was interesting that he originally had the time line set up so you click on little events but then added the button in because he could not see other people using the time line buttons. I think that is not something all Web sites consider enough. I always get frustrated when I find something I find handy or useful buried within the site or set up in a more complicated way that I would do it. I especially notice this in video games. I always wonder what goes through the programmers head when they set up these strange menu systems.

 

I’m not really sure what I would ask him. I’m not very curious I suppose.

 

How about..

 

What advice do you have for people who have no idea what they want to do?

 

Is there anything you wish you’d learned more about in college?
