So many topics relevant to web designers that are never covered in classes at Ai. For instances we have to take 2 classes about e learning but no classes about e commerce. Really? Do they think we are more likely to find job openings in e learning or eCommerce? Basically I read the curriculum for other web design courses and found classes that we do not get.
Great resources on my pinterest boards
Here is a list of topics that are not taught at Ai that I am going to research on my own or that are barely covered:
Design and Build HTML Emails
eCommerce
Running a Successful Freelance or Small Creative Business
Infographic Design
WordPress
Social Media for Marketing
Mobile Devices
Adobe InDesign
Search Engine Optimization
Understanding XML
Introduction to DNS
Web Site Promotion
Shopping Cart Using PHP and MySQL
Basic programming terminology, concepts, and best practices
Introduction to Web Security
Introduction to Web Analytics
Content Management Systems
WOW that's a pretty long list!!!!!!
