I've been thinking about the way we learn stuff at Semantic?Yesterday I received an email from a reader asking for some pointers about developing their web skills... Naturally I dove right in and started talking about Semantic's skill-set evolution, which goes something like:
HTML
Javascript
ASP
Flash
SQL
XML
I wrote a long, rather turgid, reply that used the word "scripting" more than was really necessary, but that wasn't the real problem. The real problem was that I made it sound like we had a logical well thought out plan for development. Naturally that's a lie.
The truth is we had ideas and went about finding out how to make them work. TThe idea always comes first.
Sure you can go on courses and buy step-by-step books... but we're blokes... we want to jump in, we want the good stuff now... and we never, ever read the manual!
