This month’s skill or “word-of-choice” (no pun intended) is to blog about “Choices” and how this relates to the web industry. In the field I currently work in, we utilize a lot of acronyms. So, I thought… “What could “CHOICES” spell out if it were used as an acronym?”
C – Career: As an aspiring web designer or developer, many new terms are flying through my head currently. This all involves “choices”… what direction do I want to head? How am I going to reach my destination? So many choices to make on so many aspects, such as building skills and knowledge to do this stuff professionally!
H – HTML: As a future web professional, I must learn how to “code”. (hmmm…. isn’t that our “theme” this year? Peace, Love, and code”?) 
O – Online: I must love to be online to be in this profession. As I’ve learned my first week – social networking is “the thing”. And what do you know… my assignment for August is to blog about CHOICES! Blogging is one form of social networking!
I – Internet: The Internet is what this game of web design and development is all about – the final product will reside on the Internet. The Internet is the super-highway to information (another word that starts with “I”).
C – Computer: Wow…. to see the web, you need a computer (or I guess now there are other ways, such as cell phones), but for this one, I chose ‘computer’ because that is where the Internet got its debut.
E – E-commerce: A hot field (many “mortar & bricks” even have websites). The buying and selling of products or services via the Internet is what it is most commonly known for. E-commerce has many spinoffs… such as “e-tailers”, “e-business”, or B2C or B2B. We all, at one point or another, have utilized e-commerce in some way – this is all I’m trying to say.
S – Security: This is uber important – safety on the Internet (wasn’t that a test we had requiring a 100% on or you must retake it?). Even though this is the last one on my “CHOICES” acronym countdown, it doesn’t mean it is of least importance. Rather, it falls on my list last to emphasize the importance of cyber-security (yet another term that is relatively a newbie in our ever increasing web-abulary).
