My First Web Design Course...or Any Experience With Web Design At All!

I am going to Somerset Community College to get a degree in Network Administration (Associate's) and a few other certifications (like by Microsoft...weeeee!) I am 28 years old and have been married for 14 years (to Jason) and have 2 lovely children...Kyle (13) and Kaylee (6). I love working on people's computers when they come to me for problems or questions...and I am very motivated and enthused by ANYTHING techy...I'm a nerd...lol! My Mom is a computer genius...I really mean GENIUS and she sort of inspired me and helped me learn what I know and come to love this passion. This semester I am taking my FIRST course in Web Design and this is one sticky subject that I am NOT FAMILIAR with at all but I am looking forward to learning all I can and passing this class with a good grade as well. I'll be honest with you...I'm very nervous and hesitant about this class and my ability to comprehend much about it. It's absolutely amazing how all these strange and complicated looking codes turn into what we all as viewers of the Web see as images and words! It's a lot more complex than what meets the eye! I will be giving you updates as to what I am learning, tip and tricks that have helped me and hopefully I will get through this class with a awesome grade and better understanding of Web Design! Wish me luck!
