teaching new technologies
Most of the time, I really do like my job—I get to teach interesting topics to interested students, and that’s a lot of fun.
There are times, however, when I really wonder why I left behind the relatively stable world of library science for the chasing-your-tail world of cutting edge technologies.
Take, for example, the web-database class that I developed four years ago—not particularly long in most academic lifecycles. At the time, PHP and ASP were the cutting edge technologies du jour, and students came into the class knowing nothing about PHP, MySQL, or ASP. "

Liz continues to amaze me . . . wish I could take some of her classes!
