Starter For Ten's Net34 Blog

and C is for Concepts.... the part of the course I am completing at the moment!

Its all very interesting actually, and I couldn't believe that I remembered what Asynchronisity was (after reading about it last night) and was able to tell a colleague all about it whilst we were sending a fax at work today.



I also had a discussion about George Boole with my daughter. She already knows about Boolean because she is a Yr 12 student doing Software Design as part of her HSC (this could come in handy....)

I was surprised later on to find out that he was born in the 1830's - surely he could never have imagined the technology we have now, and the part his logic would play in it?

I got about a third of the way through the introduction, learning about netiquette, metadata, the invisibility of difference - as I said its all very interesting. How many times do we quickly type an email & send it, or do a google search automatically, without thinking about the processes and concepts behind what we are doing? Well, I for one won't be taking it all for granted anymore!
