CSS style sheet

CSS Style Sheet is the essential tool for web design, it's like the main structure with a web, as long as a web designer understand CSS Style Sheet, he/she can complete the whole web site.

Learning CSS Style Sheet

In David's Class, we used one morning, more precisely, we used 4 hours around to learn CSS Style Sheet.

Most of the students in class aren't familiar with CSS Style Sheet, but the module requires us to understand this roughly in a couple of hours.

To be honestly, I remembered I spent several times after class to practise CSS Style Sheet, every time I spent couple of hours, so several times altogether should be more than 20 hours.

I think to understand CSS Style Sheet is more than important to remember the process.

In fact, the more I immerse myself in Dreamweaver, the more I discovered that if you understand what this particular language is talking about, it isn't difficult to remember it, because it comes naturally.

If you don't understand

I always got stuck during practice, and the troubles're spreaded into different procedures. I realise that computer language is the same as other languages.

If you practise more of this kind of programme, you will be very quickly to grab the tool.

For instance, it's like if you practise more about a particular composer's music pieces, like Mozart, Beethoven, you'll understand what kind of character/style this particular musician possesses.

So in this case, knowing a range of softwares, such as Photoshop,Indesign,Final Cut Pro, etc, these all will help to understand Dreamweaver.

My online report

the report I write to David about my online learning, I'm kind of saying learning CSS in one morning isn't enough.

Indeed what I mean is if he could spend more time to explain other things, such as creating flash button/text/formatting text etc, that will be great.

To create a website, the web design is essential, if the course contribute more training about design, that will be more helpful.

Do Journalists Need to be multi-skilled?!?

Today in David's class, he throw out a question to us that do journalist need to be multi-skilled.

Such as understanding CSS, podcast, flash etc, or we journalists just need to know how to write?

Seems quite a hot issue among media industry recently, even within academic world.

Different academias possesses different opinions. Professional journalists, journalism students all have their own views.

What do I think?

I personally agree with David's opinion, if journalists understand web, understand CSS, and flash etc, the media industry will function more efficient.

It's like an individual journalist possesses a range of skills, and you just pick it up whenever you need it.

Media industry'll become more and more competitive if journalists aware that they all need to understand these technologies.

But obviously the whole journalism field will be more advanced.

Do my opinion count? So what the real professional say?

Got an chance to inquire BBC London managing director about does journalists need to possesses all of these skills?

His answer is definitely yes!

Indeed he explain that BBC London require all journalist at least have basic understanding of web, of different kinds of technologies, and not only write for paper, making stories for TV/Radio.

Nowadays, Online is same important as other media outlets, such as TV/Radio.

Thanks for David and my sensitivity

Recently I read an article about Apple prents David as "One Man Hurricane".

He's a crazy man.

But thanks for his Hurricane, otherwise I'm still unawarely enjoying sunshine somewhere in this world.

As well, my sensitivity helps, for creation and innovation.
