Here is a question for technical people among your – how much time does a person need to learn HTML? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason I am asking is that I gave to one of our newer colleagues a whole weekend (from Friday evening until Monday morning ) to do it.\u00c2\u00a0 I promised to unleash all my fury and beat him severely with a stick, if I will find something that he doesn’t know by Monday 09:00am.<\/p>\n

Now, before you will call me cruel, I’ll give you a couple of more details.\u00c2\u00a0 The person who I gave the task isn’t just a random fellow from the street. \u00c2\u00a0 He’s someone holding a Bachelor of Computer Science degree from a known UK university.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 He has also studied Computer Science in USA and Cyprus, and even has some experience in the field of programming and web development.\u00c2\u00a0 So, yes, I would have expected him to know this stuff already, but somehow it happened that he doesn’t, and now he’ll have to catch up with it.<\/p>\n

Also, when I gave out the task, I was as soft as I usually am.\u00c2\u00a0 So, I\u00c2\u00a0 provided the person with all the necessary learning materials, including digital copies of O’Reilly books, famous web sites, and relevant Google queries.<\/p>\n

Am I fair with my timing? \u00c2\u00a0 How much time would you need to learn HTML?\u00c2\u00a0 Should I beat up the person on Monday even if he learns it inside out?\u00c2\u00a0 These are the questions rushing through my head right now…<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
