Hello friends,
Please do forgive me if I am starting a discussion on the often beaten
topic, but I cannot resist myself. I need your help. I want to know how
do I try and explain the importance of the work I do to a group of
non-receptive developers who think of TWs as 'glorified typists'. I have
been in this profession for sometime now and I feel that quiet a few
developers don't know much about this profession and therefore don't
give much importance to it. I thought of giving a presentation to the
developers in my office, telling them about TW in general. Any
ideas?????? Do you think this will be a good start?
