Web development is a pretty broad field. There are several dynamics that are involved. You have the Designer who creates the layout, look, and feel of a site. If that Designer is very competent, they may also be able to do a bit of programming as well. Web Programmers, responsible for the structure and functionality of the technology are vastly important. So, Web Developers specifically, are the ones who make the web, the sites, and everything in between function.
Even as a Designer, having the skills to create more than just images is important. If you can create databases, carts, applets, forms, and use different technologies like ASP and PHP, you're going to be vastly more marketable, and have the ability to make your designs do everything you want, as well as everything that your client might need.
As we know, the Web is becoming more and more of an integral part of people's lives. The people behind the Web, the people responsible for creating the content, the look, the feel, and everything that people see and touch are going to control how people respond to what they come across, as well as how much the Web can impact society. The amount of interactivity, how information is presented, how easy to access information is, and how accurate it is will all be shaped by the forward thinking of the future's Web Developers.

Welcome to my DHTML blog!
Hello.
My name is Mercedes Opheim, and by now, most of you know me.
For those of you that don't here's a little info. I'm 28 and working on finishing my degree in Computer Graphic Design. I've got one more semester after this to graduate. After that, I hope to come back to complete the Web Development program as well.
You can't see this, but my fingers are crossed.
I am already part of a computer graphic design firm that was established by my mother years ago. She died in 2006, and I had no choice but to catch the torch. I've grown up with computers all around me, and I have an extreme passion for computer graphics and digital art. Why not make some money at it? I worked with my mother and sub-contracted for her firm for almost five years. However, that was a long time ago, and a lot has changed in the digital world since then. In fact, I feel like I'm learning everything all over again. It's awesome.
I tend to be pretty outgoing for the most part, and I've discovered how much I love school. I love the people, I love the feeling of moving forward, and I love being productive. I've been able to tap into so much more creative power than I ever knew I had! I look forward to continuing that with all of you.
I'm also kind of smart mouthed. I can talk like a squirrel. Sometimes, people call me 'Bubbles' because I'm made of sugar and Chemical X. For you Power Puff Girl buffs out there, I assure you it has nothing to do with the blond hair and blue eyes. Nothing. Being a super-hero and full time student isn't easy. Still, I like to help where I can, so if you need anything just scream like a damsel in distress, or send me an e-mail. =)
