My first assignment ever in the UC Web department was to help Bryan (my boss) and Ciara (my fellow intern) to put Response online.Since then, I've been helping to put Response up every time a new issue is printed.
This was a great task to be "thrown into the water" with since it gave me a chance to interact with code on the back-end of the pages and see how everything was called. I had not only never written my code before getting my job in UC, I had never seen code. So, to be able to learn simple things like "a href" will let me link something and "em" will italicize something, was a huge step forward.
Most of my involvement that first time around was limited to cropping images, dropping in text (between already existent "p" tags) and linking items.
Besides giving me my first glimpse and interaction with code, this also helped me to become accustomed to how files were named and organized on our server, and get comfortable using Transmit (our FTP of choice).
That was almost a year ago (April of 2008).
This last issue, Ciara and I put the issue online almost exclusively by ourselves.
Check out the latest version of Response.
