Briggs Chapter One: We are all Web workers now
I like to think of myself as a very technologically driven person. My Macbook is always within arm’s reach as is my smart phone, but when it comes to the super technical things I tend to have a bit of a struggle. Case and point — the use of code. To clarify, I don’t have a problem with coding things once I know it. It just takes me forever and a day to retain the information. So, needless to say I saw those beautiful code boxes in this chapter and clutched my pearls in fear.
Fortunately for me, a lot of the concepts mentioned are skills that are already present in my little bag of skills. I’ve taken several computer classes in the past so this material isn’t anything new to me. This chapter has just provided me with different platforms to look at, which is probably force me to step out of my comfort zone a bit. I am a loyal user to programs and software. When I find something I like, I stick to it. But this chapter has shown me that I should at least attempt to experiment with other readers so that I have a stronger wealth of knowledge.
