Introduction
My name is Teresa Pelkie and I will be your instructor for this course. I created my own business, WWW Sights, a website development company in 1996, developing websites for many local small business clients. I have taught classes in web development since 1999 at community colleges in San Diego County, and starting at Canyons in 2017. I am excited to be teaching this course and I look forward to working with you this semester!
