FLASH: You don't know Jack...

[John Doe]

Hi, this is my first time posting here. I just want to comment on the 

Jack-of-all-trades subject. I am a

webmaster from Malaysia, and still learning new technologies like Flash 

and ColdFusion...


What I want to say is I think it is good if you know every working 

aspect of what you are doing, because

in the long run it will only benefit you. For instance, you can't be a 

manager of anything, unless you

have a working knowledge of how everything is done in your company. Same 

goes for the upper echelon of

the management. I am not saying that as a web professional, or someone 

who is working for himself, this

is what you should strive to achieve. What I am saying is it is good to 

be a Jack-of-all-trades,

Master-of-few.


Here in Asia, we are taught to be flexible, and even in colleges, we are 

taught subjects which seemingly

seem out of context with the subject we're studying. Well, maybe because 

I am a trained person in

advertising, we are trained to know everything, the gist of how things 

works, but I think it easily

applies to any job you do.


Here in Asia right now it is an employers market, and everybody is 

feeling the pinch of an economic

slowdown. You're more valuable to a company if you know how to do 

multi-tasking.


If what you know will gain you an edge over the other, good for you. But 

let's not put down people who

isn't a Master-or just not to that level yet...let the people decide. If 

they're good, they're good. If

they're not, they'll just fade away into obscurity...


P.S. BTW, anybody really knows how they did the "slick 3d cube site"? I 

am dying to know that one...
