Hi and thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Banning, and I'm a student at the University of Houston.
A Brief History
I'm currently studying for a degree in Computer Information Systems.
This degree is one of many offered in the College of Technology . I was born in Houston, and graduated from Lamar High School
in 1999. I then attended the University of Texas, where I majored in History. After graduation, I joined the United States Navy. I left the Navy in May, and started classes at
University of Houston.
My plan is to pursue a Master's Degree in Information Systems Security once my undergraduate degree is complete.
When I was in the Navy, we made quite a few port calls, so I got to see a number of foreign places. Here is a quick list of places I've been to (in no particular order):

This page is an example of what you can create using only a text editor.
I designed this webpage using only Notepad. To compare, here is a webpage I created using Microsoft Word. Link
By using html tags like <style>,<p>,<ul>, etc , I can make a webpage without the need for a fancy (and expensive) program.
To assist with the layout, I also incorporated a technique called a Cascading Style Sheet(CSS) to help format the page.
Quite a lot. Here's a short list of things I can do by using HTML tags
