What I teach...

Below are links to the courses I teach for the Community College of Baltimore County. Some are for credit, some are continuing education and all relate to web design and development.

I can be reached @ jim DOT doran AT gmail DOT com.

About Jim Doran

I am an adjunct faculty member at the Community College of Baltimore County. I teach web development courses at the Essex and Catonsville branches. By day, I work for Johns Hopkins University as a web developer, and I’ve been a professional web developer since 2000. I have a freelance consulting business as well.

I am fond of CCBC. I was able to successfully transition from working as a music therapist to a technical career with the help of coursework that I completed here. CCBC was a valuable tool for me, and I like the idea that I am helping others reach their goals, too.

Student Resources

Some of my classes meet only once, and I am posting links here for those people who want to further explore the things we’ve discussed. I hope this helps.

"Well, Art is Art, isn’t it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know." – Groucho Marx
