Learning IT in Many Ways
Continuing my last post about having a computer skill for your job, there are lots of ways in learning computer. Having a computer skill is necessity but more over the computer skill in a certain area like programming, 3d and animation, office, database, scripting or computer graphic related is also needed according to the area you are working at.
Learning computer (IT) can be done in many ways you can choose which one is the best. The cheapest is learning by your self through various resources. This of course requires your independence and discipline because although this is the most flexible way to learn, this requires the most discipline.
Today, computer is a must gadget in every house, although maybe not everyone has internet connection, computer these days is like an important need for everyone. In present day, the children at school already get a computer lesson at school. This advancing technology causes a new tendency that everyone should be able to use computer. It is already becoming that people who don’t know about computer or can not use find a difficulty in getting a good job in competing with people who can.
Few years ago I was working for a local internet service provider company. Because my division is related to art, graphic design and contents, I didn’t involve so much about technical things. I still remember that it was the first time I heard about Cisco. Some of my technician friends were learning and struggling with that Cisco thing.
If you are a boss or supervisor working in an IT company, all the staffs of the company are using the internet for doing their office works. But the problem is working with computer especially with internet access could cause un-effective working hour. There is a huge possibility that the staffs are using the internet for browsing and downloading for other purpose than office works. There was a research by IDC that found result that employees use internet access in their office up to 40% for non work related. It is called a leak. Therefore you need a tool that enables you to have complete web monitoring and internet access control to monitor employees’ web browsing activities and to ensure that any files downloaded are free of viruses and other malware.
I have just had a seminar about graphic design and one of the topics that was brought up there was about graphic design and branding. Well, TemplatePanic is also working in graphic design area, with its own specialties.
