Today, I officially completed CS50w – Web Programming with Python and JavaScript. This course is offered by CS50 at Harvard University. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this course, I suggest you visit the CS50W on edX.
Here’s a post with all of the videos I made for each of the 6 projects in the course.
Here’s the certificate I received:

Today I completed two more Microsoft Certified Technology Associate (MTA) exams. The tests were the “Introduction to Programming Using JavaScript (Exam 98-382) and “Introduction to Programming with Using Block-Based Languages (98-380)”. The JavaScript exam focused on the following:
The Block-Based Programming Exam focussed on:
Here is a list of the MTA’s that I have completed:
I’m delighted to be part of Clark College for another year. This marks my fourth year at the college teaching web development. Here’s a list of all the courses that I have taught:
Going to shit
2015 is when web development went to shit. Web development used to be nice. You could fire up a text editor and start creating JS and CSS files. You can absolutely still do this. That has not changed. So yes, everything I’m about to say can be invalidated by saying that.

Here’s an updated list of the courses I have taught at Clark College in Vancouver, WA over the past 4 years:
There are some new courses on the horizon as well that I may be teaching. Stay tuned.
This month I completed my third year as a professor at Clark College, located in Vancouver, Washington. Here are the courses I have taught:
In that time I have had the pleasure of working with 700+ students, received the 2013 Exceptional Faculty Award and have made many new friends and colleagues. I am also participating in several college councils and industry advisory boards. Add to the list three “30 Clicks” presentations at the Cannell Library.
My “encore career” continues to bring much joy and happines to my life.
With CSS preprocessing, icon fonts, grunt workflows, pattern libraries and JavaScript MVCs, the front-end workspace is anything but simple. This complex stack of tools can no longer be pieced together on a whim. Front-End Architecture needs and deserves the same attention given to content strategy, data migration, or server configuration. This practical book helps you explore all of these important decisions—right at the stage of the project where they need to be decided.
You’ll learn about the rewards gained from early, informed decisions, and the risks incurred if choices are made too hastily, or too late. Whether you are a front-end developer or a project owner, this book will inspire you.
Micah is a friend of mine who is the author of this fabulous book on front-end architecture. You can pre-order the book on Amazon or you can purchase the early release draft from O’Rielly. I highly recommend this book. I personally have learned a tremendous amount from it.
You can also find Micah on the Sass Bites podcast.
