html & dreamweaver
2nd week of internship = 2nd part of internship, which is putting out layouts into HTML. To be honest when we first started on this I was scared stiff, because my HTML is NOT, I repeat, is NOT good - making a few blogskins doesn't mean you're good at HTML. And Gao Ming's HTML is like damn awesome - he's obviously used to using Dreamweaver, and I'm not, and I think he's made site layouts before, I think. I make blogskins, which requires no FTP, no site hosting, not much Javascript and sure as heck no MySQL. I really need to brush up on my HTML. :(
That said I think I'm coping pretty well? I've gotten the hang of server connection and HTML etc but when it comes to Javascript and MySQL I'm gonna be helpless, seriously. (We're doing that tomorrow. Which is also the last day of the internship. I just realized O_O) Negativity aside, I'm really learning. A lot. Beside Photoshop shortcuts and alignment and affordance, also a lot of nifty HTML which I hope I remember, because it's so much. And as much time as this internship took up, which made me stay up till midnight to do homework & CCA stuff, as mundane and long the commuting is each morning, as cold the Shaw House office block aircon is, I'm really going to miss this when it's over. Even the slow Mac I'm using xP (Oh have I mentioned I've grown so used to the Mac that at home when I use the Windows PC I mistake Alt for Ctrl.)
Yesterday over lunch Zilin told us about the difference between a web designer and a graphic designer, and now I'm pretty sure I want to be either when I enter the workforce. (Or a usability expert, like I mentioned on the previous post)
