For those of you who are interested in learning more about code (beyond what this course requires), check out Code Academy which takes you through tutorials, exercises and quizzes on HTML, HTML5, CSS, CSS3, PHP, Javascript and more.  It’s great to do just a couple of these at a basic level, to gain a better understanding of what’s going on ‘behind the scenes’, help you troubleshoot issues and perhaps broaden your scope of what online writing allows you to do.

If you’re feeling really nerdy, you can take this a step further and check out Lynda.com for tutorials on PHP, Javascript and more.  You can set up a profile using your RMIT email, follow the steps here.

Lynda is an excellent resource that you have access to as part of your enrolment at RMIT.  It features entire courses, so while this would be a lot of extra work, it could be a great challenge to set yourself for Netmed – learn to code and try to make something with your new found skills.
