I have really enjoyed your presentation about Webucation last night. I totally agree that it is the responsibility of everyone teaching, working, and learning Web Development to communicate with others to help them understand what this is about with hope that one day (soon) this profession will be structured in most universities as a 4 year education program and give the professionals in this field the recognition we deserve.

You outlined the challenges of teaching the web in our current educational system, eloquently explained the WaSP interact curriculum, and did it all with style. You are a fantastic speaker and very passionate, l look forward to the next time I see you speak!
