When and why did you help start Web Spinners?
|
|
Keith Hansen and I originally started Web Spinners as the
Web Server Development Organization in 1996. By April 1997,
we completed the process of becoming an official student
organization at the University of West Florida. Finally, in
December 1997, we joined University Commons & Student
Activities as an independent division within the UCSA department,
and officially changed our name to Web Spinners. (Web Server
Development Organization is primarily used for internal memos
and e-mails.)
As for why Keith and I started Web Spinners, we decided that
students did not have the chance to gain valuable experience
in the field before graduation. Internet design is one of
the most competitive job markets, so having the experience
and the ability to learn from early mistakes greatly enhances a
resume. At the same time, we decided that there was a need
to provide expertise to the various student organizations on
campus.
