just enough web development: an introduction!
DESCRIPTION
Have you heard about the exciting new careers in web development but don't know what that even means? Are you befuddled by the acronym soup and techno-babble that spills out of the internet regularly? Would you like to know what's underneath all those web pages and how the internet is made? In this short presentation, we'll explore the what, why, and how of Web Development and explain some of the mysticism of the internet. We'll cover: * What is "The Web" and how does it work? How is it different from "The Internet"? Where do Facebook and Twitter fit in? * What is "Development" and what skills and technology does it encompass? * What myths and rumors about web development and developers are true and which are bogus? * Who cares about web development anyway? How important is it, and what does it mean to my business? * What does the future of web development look like and how do I become a part of it? Join your host, David Rogers AKA "AL the X" (http://j.mp/al_the_x), career web developer with over 15 years experience, for an entertaining look at the stage-hand of our modern life: the web developer.TRANSCRIPT

YOU WIN THE INTERNET!NOTE: The Internet is hard...
FOR THE BUSINESS OWNER...
• Your ability to deliver services and products to customers is critical to success.
• Your ability to distribute business data and decisions to employees is critical to scalability.
• Your business WILL have an presence on the Web.
• Your business DOES have a process.
FOR THE TECH MANAGER...
• Out-of-the-Box and Off-the-Shelf solutions are just a starting point: see Pareto principle.
• Projects spend the majority of lifecycle time in Maintenance, not Development.
• No vendor / consultant will know your business as well as you; they might just help you understand it.
FOR THE DEVELOPER...
• More than just hacking / programming.
• The Analysis phase and 5 Why's.
• Design doesn't always mean pretty pictures.
• Documentation trumps all.
FOR THE CUSTOMER...
• Who is the customer?
• Intended to make their jobs easier... not harder!
• They can identify if not articulate "broken".
• Broken makes their jobs harder; they will cope.
• Be patient with us; this is hard.
