I think in terms of four year or two year programs, especially in things like information science, web development, etc, the one thing that is overlooked the most is CSS. Even for graphic designers, this is a shame, since just a few minutes of browsing the CSS Zen Garden shows how much graphic designers can do with even a basic knowledge of CSS (and it can't be done so elegantly with tables... sometimes not at all). I think the day I see programs with a full semester dedicated to CSS, I can celebrate. Even a semester of CS130 at Cornell, covering 1/3 CSS (the rest XHTML and basic PHP) is not enough to teach decent layout/positioning skills... and I'm saying this because I've seen other students struggle with it. Next fall I'll most likely get to be a Teaching Assistant for the course, so I'll get an even better idea of just how much time and material students need to really learn CSS. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
