>>How did you first begin your learning?
Hi Paul,
About 6 years ago a VP at a company I was working for gave me a link
to the Wired tutorials at Webmonkey ... and I became a 'MonkeyJunkie'.
It was great fun. I started doing static personal pages and the weekly
standings for the company bowling team. After a few months I had one
of those "Aha!" moments and suddenly visualized the value a set of
web-based intranet applications could have for my company ... and, of
course, how dramatically that could cut my personal workload! ;-)
(Kind of ironic that 'laziness' can spur that much effort!)
Anyway, that was all the incentive I needed to learn as much as I
could about this web junk! I started buying books ... and building
those apps. (Oh Heck, I'm still building those apps.)
[Historical note - I think that was very close to the time that evolt
'evolved' out of the MonkeyJunkie forums.]
HTH,
RonL.
