"I just returned from Italy yesterday and read Walk with Me through the Internet--and loved it. I learned a lot in such an easy and gentle way."
"Walk with Me through the Internet successfully presents a complex subject simply, without making it simplistic. That's a difficult task."
I wrote and illustrated Walk with Me through the Internet to help my parents and other Internet newcomers learn how to use the Internet in an easy and enlightening way. It was a fun side project while creating corporate websites as the Creative Director of OMIX, Inc.
I read plenty of computer books that lack character and are cold. Walk with Me is my contribution to the intuitive approach to learning something new by relating the topic through the eyes of the audience. In other words, it's hard to sound easy and easy to sound hard.
Many times ideas and concepts are not difficult, they are simply poorly explained by self absorbed "specialists". If the experts were really smart, they would take the time to get to know the audience and communicate on the same plane.
Having complete control over production enabled me to personalize every aspect of the book which partially explains why customers loved reading it. Being a part of the Internet and Web revolution in 1995, 1996 and 1997 inspired me to share the passion. In 1995, the web was just starting and only a few million users were online.
The ability to learn new concepts, integrate them, process and then clearly explain them is one of the key skills that enables me to succeed in consulting. Companies and organizations are looking for people who can outperform the competition and this is only possible if a person truly understands all aspects of the challenge and can clearly communicate this information to the team.
