Weekly Nerd
Every week for the duration of the Web Design & Development minor, a
guest from the workforce will give a guest lecture in the late
Wednesday afternoon. These lectures cover a variety of subjects that
can be (and usually are) of importance to 'rookie programmers' such
as myself. In order to not lose the important knowledge I gain
during these guest lectures, I've set up this
Weekly Nerd blog - the very reason this site, in its
entirety, exists. Let's discover the many interesting lessons
learned during this semester at AUAS!
Do you wonder how the blogs' filter classification works before you

The classification system, explained
How I classify blogs to allow for a logical filter-system.
Likeliness to use in the future
The Likeliness to Use in the Future classification describes if and how I see myself use the things discussed during this lecture in the future. Some lectures describe brand-new features coming to HTML and CSS soon or cover important accessibility practices, while other lectures might cover practical skills I personally am not very interested in.
Impact on (current) projects
All of the Weekly Nerds take place during my minor Web Design & Development, which means that I have classes and assigments happening parallel to the lectures. The Impact on Current Projects filter shows how much impact the lectures have on the assignments I'm working on at the time.
Inspiration Level
The Inspiration Level classification is all about my eagerness. How much has a lecture inspired me, to the point where I am eager to try something new? How much has a talk excited me or relit my 'spark' for all things web and coding?
