My second semester at Bond started on Monday. As part of my assessment for Web Applications I’ll be posting topics of interest for this course regularly from now on.
This post is intended to provide an overview over my level of knowledge with Web Applications. Studying Business and IT I’ve always been interested in computers and the web. I started designing some web sites back in high school and used these skills throughout different internships. In 2005, I redesigned the website of the Boston-based non-profit United Planet. In addition to that I designed a Joomla! based portal in order to stay in touch with my friends. The site can be found at here. I mainly used Macromedia software (now Adobe) and Photoshop. I am particular interested in Adobe Flash because the possibilities with this software are nearly endless. I’ve spent some time programming basic games in Flash but couldn’t really find the time for it lately. My diploma thesis back in Germany was about Web 2.0 and the new possibilities it offers for organizations to communicate both in- and outwards. If you are interested in this topic and fluent in German I’ll be more than happy to send you a copy…
Make sure you check out this video which explains the concept of Web 2.0 and a lot of topics we are going to tackle in the upcoming weeks.
