I have been doing Source code investigation for some time and I have learned a few things along the way. I guess I need to Google "website coding definitions" next and start to learn the language of the group so I can communicate effectively.
There is a coder somewhere who is missing a great opportunity to write and sell an ebook that is written for dummies but it should be written in collaboration with a dummy. The dummy can write the instructions in dummy language once the coder explains it.
As a reporter for more than 15 years, when interviewing on a technical topic, I would have to say - "So, what you mean is......" - and restate it as I understood it then write the story in verbage my audience could understand. This would sell a ton of copies! I dare say that most tutorials are written by coders for other coders, not for average folks.
Anyway, thanks for your advice. It's off to study.
