About
Introduction
My name is William Walker. I am a 22 year old graduate from Georgia Southern University with an Information Technology major and a minor in Technical Writing.
I enjoy everything about coding. The way that simple combinations of characters and symbols create something that normal individuals can understand and are used to seeing. The problems that arise when there is a missing semicolon, a tag left unclosed, an incorrectly stated path, even when a single letter is left off a keyword and the whole page displays incorrectly as a result. I love it because coding requires precision and forces the coder to accept and learn from their failures before succeeding. In this way, you have to practice to get better and, while practicing, you may come across different new ways to overcome old obstacles and apply them accordingly.
What Inspired Me
I grew up in the age of Myspace. Yes, that disaster of a website. But, it was one of the only popular social media sites around at the time. The unique thing about Myspace is that it allowed you to alter your own HTML code to put whatever you want on your page and style it however you feel. Some people put video players, photo sliders and mp3 stations all over their page. Others focused on making crazy backgrounds, fancy navigational menus and page borders. I was not too skilled at the time so, most of my alterations were just copy and pasted pre-made themes. But, seeing how the new themes looked and how a page once filled with little to no content can become full of color and personality, made me curious of how web developing and coding actually worked.
