About Me

This blog is my journey to professional web design and development. Here I will write about code and things I learn about xhtml, css, javascript, jquery, Expression Engine, Wordpress and any other CMS I need to use in my new career.

I will be adding links to the sidebar as I find useful resources and blogs. I'm also looking forward to getting feedback from other designers and developers. Thanks for dropping by.
