Your Career as an It Professional

Through this research I have conducted we are able to conclude that there are several different points of view on an effective web design. What we learn from this is that there can really never be the perfect website because everyones point of view on perfect is vastly different. What we need to spend are time on is operating effieciency and the over all graphic design. While still being carefull that are website is not overbaring. Some times in web development we feel the need to have an astonishing graphical design but the study shows that the average consumer feels like this is to much and skips your website for the one that is simple but efficient.

I would like to start out by introducing myself to the reader. I am Steven L. Diesman a 26 year old father of two. I was in a terrible car accident in February of last year (2007) which temporarily took the ability to work away from me due to injury. During this time I began to realize that I would not ever be able to do the amount or type of work I was doing prior to my accident. I then started looking in to other fields of interest I have had since I was a small child. One such interest was the ever expanding computer industry. I had to decide what specific field as the computer industry is rather large and only getting larger by the year. There were several fields that I could possibly enter into and have success at building a career. One such field was web development or internet design. Although I had to start somewhere to get to the point in my life where I could do what I wanted for my particular career choice. I started out in the Associates program for Information technology at Axia College of the University of Phoenix. This was a logical step for me to take in my life at that point in time.

When looking at the past history of the internet one can only stare and wonder why I didn’t jump in to this booming career field when I had the chance. Well let me be the one to tell you that it is not to late to start your career in web development today. The seed of what would become the internet was created by ARPANET in 1969. It was basically a group of researchers working for the Department of Defense. It was not until RFC 768 "User Datagram Protocol", RFC 791 "Internet Protocol", RFC 792 "Internet Control Message Protocol, RFC 793 "Transmission Control Protocol" were ratified in 1980 and 1981 that the Internet took shape. Modern protocols like e-mail, ftp, telnet, and http ... all depend on these underlying protocols. The ARPANET host protocol was switched from NCP to TCP/IP as of January 1, 1989.
