Writing on the web

I recently ran across a very good link to an article on writing on the web. I am including it here as a reference and I encourage a visit.

The truth is, most online readers don't care much about grammar, spelling, and punctuation as long as they get the information they need. That said, good grammar does build trust in your organization. So does proper spelling - so proofread your text and ask a professional copywriter to look it over if at all possible.

The main thrust of the article is that people read and interact with information differently on the web, and therefore it must be presented differently to be effective.

Explaining REST

I ran across a great post from Ryan Tomayko the other day and had to link it here. He goes into how he explained REST to his wife and it is actually very solid - better then I would have managed. Check it out here. I was laughing and appreciating the great description at the same time.
