The secret to coding an awesome web page!

As I am working through the Web Design learning experience, I'm realizing that CSS code makes a big difference in the way a webpage looks and feels. But, I'm also learning that, if I'm going to be good at this stuff, I have to practice.

What does practicing web design look like? After thinking about it, I have come to the conclusion that practice looks like this:

1. Read a lot. Technology is always changing. Specifically, the internet is constantly in flux. There are new ways of rendering ideas and images that are always in development. For example, since 1995, HTML code has gone through more than a dozen major updates and changes. Indeed, the web developer must constantly stay up to date in his field or risk becoming outdated.

2. Collaborate with fellow web developers. There are lots of virtual groups one can find to participate in. The web developer cannot be ashamed of asking for help. In fact, some of the best do this all the time.

3. Practice, practice, practice! Even if you practice one piece of code at a time, practice will make you awesome at what you do! This, of course, applies to any endeavor you take on. But, with code, practice is very necessary.

Your webpage can look awesome, if you take on and commit to learning code by practicing. With these basics in place, you are sure to move forward and produce some great content. Happy coding!
