This is really helpful thanks. As a newbie to all this stuff one thing I would like to hear is the sort of routes people took to learn more. Like does one learn html then a bit of CSS then Javascript if they are really hardcore? Maybe I need a digital mentor.

Thanks for the encouragement folks! I might do a few more of these technical posts in future... Mrs Steph just bought me Joel Spolsky's 'Best Software Writing' compendium for my birthday so I'm hoping to pick up some tips...

The jargon file always helps with internet slang, I find.

I’m glad you did! But I learned a new word, so there you go.

A v good stab at plain Englishising the technology Steph – hard to be concise and not drag in loads of other jargon isn’t it? But this sounds pretty clear to me.

Steph – really useful. I more or less understood it all – just stumbled over the word “grok” at the start, but a quick google sorted that out! tks. Paul
