WOW!! Fifty Content Management Vendors. Now if only schools will start teaching at least the basics of CMS. I recently went to my school's website from where I graduated from, and they are still teaching the same classes I took between 1998-2006. The sad thing is other schools in the area are teaching the same thing. Sad that most if not all technical schools are not keeping up with today's technology.
It is not an easy task, but schools at least need to show they are taking up the effort. In web design, NO ONE is designing static website any more. First of all, doing websites today is very complex. Companies must use databases to sell their goods. CMS is a means of organizing the complexity of designing a website in the 21st Century and beyond.
Online companies need a Service-oriented architecture (SOA) to make their jobs easier and cheaper to run a business online. CMS is that means of that SOA. I cannot go into detail of Database Connectivity because this is not my cup of tea. It is that complex. In the hear and now as the USA starts to clime from the financial hiccup, schools can start to teach the basics of CMS and SOA right now.
As I have stated, schools are teaching the old format of web design. If static websites are going to be a thing of the past (and I wanted if it is not already), then schools do not need to be teaching how to do static websites. If these schools want their students to get jobs in the technical field in web design, then they need to teach what companies need from these students. to make a point, I will reinstate it this way: It might be good to know the history of the ENIAC computers, but how will that help students get jobs that are needed in the 21st Century?"
As you might have seen, social media is on an all time clime in the technical age we live in. Learning about old technology will not help bring out jobs for this new age. Social media is being used now in the work place, and it is more then chatting with your friends.
The technology is out there. It is being used right now on a global scale. How we do things online tomorrow is up to the function of the users. It was the Twitters that made a big difference in how we learned about the attack on Mumbai. If it was not for SOA, CMS, and all the things that makes the Internet what it is today, we might not have been able to send information like we did with Twitter. Schools need to start teaching the business aspect of what users of all ages are doing with technology now!
That is the purpose of this blog posting. To encourage all schools (high schools, post secondary school, like technical schools and even colleges) to teach how to integrate what is going on with technology in the here and now to how it can help businesses achieve their goals in their companies.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
