TECHNICAL (analysis)

The HTML page I made for Tech 114, History and Theory of Technology and Culture, shows my technical ability. Tech 114 focused on writing, visual and computing technologies as they advanced throughout history. Each week, for eight weeks, all the students in the class were to collect an article relating to technology for analysis. At the end of the course, we were to post them, along with a summary of one of the articles and how it was connected to the course, onto our SFU webspace. This small piece of website creation was a landmark in terms of technical skill because I had never used HTML (hypertext markup language) before this project. I searched for HTML tutorials online and enlisted the help of one of my technical-minded friends. I picked up HTML pretty quickly, and found that I enjoyed learning how to construct the webpage. The best part of the HTML page is the colour scheme. Since I have experience designing my personal weblog, I was relieved to find HTML employed the same coding system. This transferable skill definitely helped me enjoy HTML since past experiences with colour codes have always been successful (they turned out as I wanted them to). An area that needs to be improved on is the formatting. The summary at the bottom is messy and not very easy to read. The areas where there should have been indents for paragraphs and spacing do not have the aforementioned indents and spacing. It looks unprofessional and rushed, which it was. As I had other course work to do, I tried to do the HTML page quickly.
