Our assignment involved going to codecademy.com to complete an appropriate course for a programming language that is new (to the student), or one that the student could use more work on, and to complete an associated (short) project through codecademy.com.
Proof of my completion of HTML Basics I:
The final project involved coding a basic personal website/Web page, with a title, several headings, several paragraphs of text, several links, and an image. While I am not yet ready to program Web pages for a living, the mysteries of online code are a little less mysterious, and I have the tools to further unravel such mysteries via course at codecademy.com to improve my skills.
My final code page looked like this:
My Web page includes the code below:
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>

<h3>Personal</h3>
<p>I'm a parent raising two kids--a teenager and a pre-teen in rural Alberta. Unlike 90% of Canadians, we don't live within 100 km of the American border. In fact, we are likely part of the 1% in terms of how far north we live in Canada. We live approximately two hours north of Edmonton, Alberta in a small town called Athabasca.</p>
<h3>Professional</h3>
<p>Professionally, I'm a Course Production Editor at <a href="http://www.athabascau.ca/">Athabasca University</a>, which means that I basically prepare university courses for online delivery. I work with professors, learning designers, visual communication designers, copyright staff, and multi-media Web specialists to produce course materials. My specific skill-set involves expertise with language, though I'm getting handy with design as well.</p>
<h3>Recreational</h3>
<p>When I'm not engaged in the jobs above, I'm a recreational athlete, competing in road races and <a href="http://www.billyloutit.ca">triathlons</a>. I love to swim, bike, and run, and in the winter, I like to cross-country ski. Along the same vein, I help to coach our local swim team, the <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athabascaadvocate.com%2Fapps%2Fpbcsi.dll%2Fbilde%253FSite%253DGR%2526Date%253D20140422%2526Category%253DATH1101%2526ArtNo%253D304229977%2526Ref%253DEP%2526NewTbl%253D1%2526item%253D1%2526MaxW%253D800%2526MaxH%253D600&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.athabascaadvocate.com%2Farticle%2F20140422%2FATH1101%2F304229977%2F0%2Fath&h=600&w=450&tbnid=7C15PKUccM1BwM%3A&zoom=1&docid=T-5FBjhvgEGzxM&ei=O3m0U7rXD9KbqAbShYKgAQ&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&ved=0CB8QMygBMAE&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=2706&page=1&start=0&ndsp=16">Athabasca Rapids</a>.</p>

I'm a parent raising two kids--a teenager and a pre-teen in rural Alberta. Unlike 90% of Canadians, we don't live within 100 km of the American border. In fact, we are likely part of the 1% (population living farthest north) in terms of how far north we live in Canada. We live approximately two hours north of Edmonton, Alberta in a small town called Athabasca.
