I would mostly focus on creating a community where its really focused on the teaching, allowing the people to learn at their own pace, but learn well. Its true also that technology is advancing at a super fast rate, nowadays knowing not only HTML5 and CSS, Javascript, PHP, DJANGO, RUBY ON RAILS, etc, you will need to be to craft website (experiences) for mobile devices such as Android, iPhone, Ipad's and more. Its also important to know the planning stages, user experience, branding, conversion of users that visit your website, an understanding knowledge on SEO and how this can reward the client, etc. It would be too much to apply it to a general IT course in Macau, i think even in IPM and i don't know its curriculum, it would have been too much. Let's see.

It would be too much to apply it to a general IT course in Macau, i think even in IPM and i don’t know its curriculum, it would have been too much.

Let’s see.

Partly I think because the web has developed faster during the last few years, and also more diversed, with different standards like Ruby on rail, Ajex, Adobe Air platform, and HTML5..etc I cant even keep track on whats latest, and so stick to the good old skillset :) Maybe you can teach in university to save Macau new talents of web design!
