There is not yet any common agreement on just what a "webmaster"
is. It can be described as any or all of the following:
- System administrator
- For some, a webmaster is the person who runs the web
server, installs and configures the web server software, manages usage
and security, and installs other applications such as chat rooms and
multimedia.
- Application programmer
- For others, a webmaster is a person who also writes
programs in Perl, JavaScript, C++, or Java that enable interaction and
data processing on the website.
- Technical communicator
- An essential skill for webmasters is the ability to
communicate effectively to specific audiences using words, color, images,
audio, and video.
- Graphic & media design specialist
- For still others, the webmaster conceptualizes the
overall logic and design of the site, designs the web pages, creates
graphics and other media, and in general works with the client to achieve
that person's business, organizational, professional, or commercial
requirements for the website.

The Webmaster Certificate Program at Austin Community College
provides courses in all of these areas to enable you be the kind of webmaster
you want to be. The program offers two specialization - one in system
and application programming and the other in design and media.
Your Webmaster Certificate will indicate your specialization in one of
these areas.
