The 10 Demandments
biz September 21st, 2007Kelly Mooney over at Resource Interactive has a website called The 10 Demandments. It is a dead-on list of things visitors (prospects) and customers demand that you to keep in mind while building your web presence. Her book by the same name gives more detail, but is more or less a summary of marketing (now common-sense) insights touted many times before and since.
The 10 Demandments
- earn my Trust
- Inspire me

- put me in Charge
- Guide me
- 24/7
- get to Know me
- Exceed my expectations
- Reward me
- Stay with me
Funny how, eventhough this list is nothing new, it’s still hard to find practitioners in the webspace.

While I agree, there’s a factor I think you’re overlooking: VS is just too darn big! There’s so much of it that it’s easy not to know what all it can do.
And that leads to another factor: when people kinda know it can be done, but don’t know how, they get uncomfortable. The manual coding seems “safer”. It isn’t, but that’s how it feels to them.
Honestly, separate from .NET, the tool itself is worthy of a training course. My .NET 101 class includes nearly a half day on Visual Studio, and that doesn’t scratch the surface.
Somebody should teach a course on this stuff…
