INF 340 with Prof. Mat Rosa

INF 340 is a Web Design class introduced to the informatics program in Fall of 2009.

Mat Rosa is the Director of creative services at a local company called iStreamPlanet and has been enrolled in the Master's program with Informatics.

The class overall covered the basics of HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP. Most classes consisted of a lecture with examples of code from the language being discussed that day. After there was sufficient lecture on a language and methodology, Prof. Rosa would take the class into the lab and have them perform an activity utilizing web languages to create certain pages. This included but was not limited to:


 * Basic Web Pages
 * Modifications and customization with CS
 * Interactive modules with Javascript
 * Creating systems such as a calculator with PHP

The class had less of a focus on actual programming and more about the ideology of web design concepts, rules, and standards.

Overall this was a very enjoyable class and Mr. Rosa is one of the more talented professors in the informatics program. Tkae him in whatever class is offered because the class is sure to be practical and insightful.
