This week’s project is spidertie.com. Not a bad site by any means but it definately needed a face lift. A static site prior to the make over with very little to keep the visitor’s attention. According to the stats, 80% left after a view of the home page. The site was moved to a wordpress theme and has increased use of screen real estate and a lot of content above the fold.

Free Featured Software: PointandSee 1.1.0

Submitted by Wordpress Studio on July 14, 2010 – 2:57 amNo Comment

Trent found this free download while looking for new free software downloads he felt were worth mentioning on the free software blog.

I think it’s probably the handiest little tool I’ve had in a long time. It’s a color finder. Basically, you open the application (very, very small) and then drag over the color you want to find the values for. It gives you the hexadecimal and rgb values of the color. It also has a little past icon so you don’t have to go back and forth getting the color values.

Totally free and very small – this one belongs in the “gotta get this” category. Anyone who works with website design – especially in website make overs – will find this little gadget invaluable.

If you have a free application you would like reviewed, drop us a note and we’ll take a look.

Do you need a degree for this?

As a former educator, you would think that the answer to this question is a resounding yes. However, that isn’t the case.

With computer programming, the degree is not nearly as crucial as the quality of the education received. This can not be emphasized enough.

I recently heard someone in the website marketing department of a college say “I don’t care what they learn once they are here. It’s my job to see that they enroll.”. Wow, can you say “used car salesman?” Needless to say, my jaw hit the table and I’ve been thinking about this comment since that day and decided it was time to voice an opinion on the matter.

When it comes to computer programming or networking, the mantra should always be “Quality over Quantity”. By this statement I mean that I would rather have 1 “can do” programmer than 10 “theory trained” scholars.

The ability to apply one’s knowledge to their profession is by far the most important factor in making a competent software developer. In order to apply knowledge, it is first and foremost important to fully understand the technology. The computer can’t read your diploma!
