OK so how do we help the lecturers??? Is giving them links and offering services as a guest lecturer help? Would not this undermind the old practices that they teach???

Wouldn't they (or > somebody like them) be the ones to issue a certificate? (One look at their > web site will tell you how seriously they take web standards.) The attitude seems to be that web development isn't real IT. The funny thing is that people in the webby area also seem to feel this way. I brought this up on another list and quite a few were adamant that an IT professional was one that hooked up networks. To me, an IT person is someone who can work with either information or computer systems, from either the technical or human standpoint.
That is probably the biggest problem that needs to be solved first and before we try to teach the next generation of devolpers. The problem I see with this arguement is that I do not get 'myself off' by the latest 'geeky' talk like most IT people, I just love coding web pages and im sure majority or some of the developers are the same. Yes we are IT but do we behave and act like IT??? (maybe this is a new arguement/ debate) ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
