Hi am working my way through CSS and wondering what to do next?

I thought maybe Wordpress?

Iv covered a lot of the CSS course twice and find the second time around i understand it better, HTML and I did some wordpress. I would love to be able to design a functional site but have no problem using a template.

Definitely give JavaScript a shot. I think Dave McFarland has some more of that coming. You might check out his CSS book for a refresher.

Sometimes it helps to explore and get advice from others in the industry. Here's a few more resources for you.

I would recommend JavaScript. Good luck.

Deirdre;

In addition to Kevin's question above, I would also ask, what are you interested in doing long-term? What aspects of programming do you enjoy or do you believe are extra talented? Myself, I can handle the coding okay (still learning) and the putting things together, but get very frustrated with the design aspects because that just isn't my thing. As a result, my sites work well but are ugly.

So, for example, if you excel in and enjoy css, I would look at some of the SASS courses. Makes CSS even easier and has some great features. If you really want to learn to be a JavaScript Ninja, look at some of those courses.

How about design topics or even development tools.

I agree with Ken. The natural course of extending CSS is Sass and Compass. In fact it has helped me gain a better understanding of CSS overall. I'm seeing a lot of job postings asking for experience with Sass also.

That is if you're looking into web design.

I don't know what you have done or what you are interested in, but if you like CSS and other aspects of web design, there is a Web Design track available. I am currently working on the track myself and it is thorough in HTML, CSS, and design, and even touches on business.

Happy coding! :) Alyssa
