Taking a page from the Personal MBA the Personal Web Design Degree was started in March of 2009. This “degree” consists of a program curriculum that breaks down a reading list by a series of subjects and includes a list of key concepts the reader should gain after completing each section. Upon completing this program, the designer will have acquired a functional working knowledge of web design. It is important to note that this program is about design, and only covers web development to the point of which is necessary to understand the issues faced by developers and work with them.

The PWDD Community

This project was started and moderated by the Graphic Designer Anthony J. Zinni to find out more about him or see his work please visit his portfolio. However in order for the program to succeed and remain sustainable over time it needs the participation of other designers, both experienced and novice. To find out how you can help the evolution of the project visit the Community Section of the site and sign up for an account.

For the full history of the project, check out the original article “Personal Web Design Degree” on the Positive Space Blog.
