Establishing an Online presence

Good Morning! Today I am working on HTML, through a series of training sessions using the W3 schools and WebMonkey websites, the focus will be on (X)HTML, CSS & Javascript. Up to this point my experience with Web Technologies has been restricted to the coursework given in the university environment, the coursework itself was very good and I learned alot from the two web applications I developed. In my opinion what I am doing now is revisiting alot of that work however it's now in a professional environment and it will pay dividends to learn how these applications are developed in real world situations, I also expect to learn more about these technologies, how they work and how I can create and manipulate them for myself.

I strongly believe that I need to be in a position of autonomy with regards to my technical abilities to be an effective software engineer which is the whole point of my 4 years at university.

Coldfusion was on the agenda for today, I understand that Bill had discussed this with Peter and Mairi and was worried that given the depth of the training material he would rather there was support available rather than leave me to it, a point I understand completely and I find it reflects the departments positive attitude to development.
