The readings for tonight included a chapter that covered a basic history and a general technological explanation of the Internet and the World Wide Web. I am moderately distrubed that some of my classmates should exclaim their disinterest in the subject and that they just want to get to the front-end experience. This knowledge is the basis for how to create an effective front-end. It's tantamount to asking a music professor to teach you composition but not to worry about music theory.
The other reading was Google's Web Metrics. While the first reading served to illuminate the meaning of these statistics from a pure "what are they talking about" standpoint, I find I am still unsure of "what do they mean?" Of course, the highlighted statistics about compression and resource efficiency are fairly clear.
At this point, I'll pick something a little different to bemoan: it's week three, I see a number of page-coding projects on the syllabus, and I still don't know much HTML. Hopefully this is an indicator that we will soon move into code.
