Not knowing how it would turn out, I was only willing to risk $5 on a $15 mic (on sale!) for the recording, and I used (by today&#8217;s standards) a pretty primitive screen capture app. <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; In those days, of the few people who were doing video courses, many where using normal video cameras to record the screen over the author&#8217;s shoulder &#8211; they looked terrible!<\/p>\n<p>That first web design course was simply called &#8216;Web Design 1&#8217;. Despite being a greenhorn video course creator, Web Design 1 was a success. I think my years of teaching martial arts, and the classes I took on learning theory at university, helped. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Killersites in 2015 <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s fast forward to today; killersites is one of the originals in web education, and we are still around! But there have been years where I stepped away and let my content fall behind the times &#8230; I must admit. <\/p>\n<p>Over the last few years though, I&#8217;ve rediscovered my inner-nerd, and I really get a kick out of code and development again. So I am (with the help of other major nerds,) coming out with new video courses, articles, podcasts and even a brand new book on web design and development. The book will be in stores in April 2015.  <\/p>\n<p>My latest projects include <a href=\"http:\/\/studioweb.com\">Studioweb.com<\/a>, a system designed to help teachers teach web design and development. And <a href=\"http:\/\/webmentor.org\">WebMentor.org<\/a>, a Netflix like subscription service, with a complete video curriculum on web design and development. <\/p>\n<p>&#8230; And I am just getting started! <\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading,<\/p>\n<p>Stefan Mischook<br \/>\nkillerSites.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.killersites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/ks-logo-large-295x300.jpg\" alt=\"killersites-logo\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4188\" style=\"float: right; margin: 10px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.killersites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/ks-logo-large-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.killersites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/ks-logo-large.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hi!<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe that killerSites.com has been teaching the web for 19 years!
