    Hello everyone, I'm Rodserd, a Computer Science student (that hopefully will be graduating soon). I've been in quite the accelerated program, but managed to land a job at a little small business in St. Louis. Hoping to get some experience there and move on to bigger and better things. It really scares me how much I don't know, and how little my classes have prepared me for the real world. I'm trying to find as many online resources as possible to learn as much as I can about the whole industry. My mentor is a super nerd who has to be some sort of a savant with code....its kinda scary.

    Web Design is a nasty weakness of mine. I have no aesthetic sense, and it shows. Its been recommended that I sit down with the W3C pages for a couple weeks and learn every bit of css I can. Not really looking forward to trying that, but I need something to help my door aesthetic sense.

    Welcome rodserd, Good to see you here.
    Welcome to the real world. It can come as quite a shock. You will probably learn more in six months in the real world than most of the time in classes. :thumbsup:

    Again welcome. :agreed:

    Not sure if it was because I took the class after having to do it at work, but my databases class was a breeze after figuring out how to do it all on my own at work (minus the translating from Oracle SQL to MySQL, same principles though).

    Unfortunately I have an ever growing list of things to learn and no time to learn them.
