Cooler than Obama

I’ve never heard about Ripplewerkz or the name Lionel Chin. His name might be new to me but I’ve seen before his work such as famous blogger, Xiaxue’s blog and visited the website of Nuffnang.

In the lecture, he shared about his expertise and experience in web development and the use of new media tools in the industry.

He talked about the advantages in Web 2.0. More applications can be support with the use of Web 2.0.

He also talk about the amount he can earn with a design of a web and that each website are not sold pages.

Towards the end of the lecture. He mentioned about the difference between a freelance designer and an employee, recommending people to work in a company if they can’t and we should start as a freelance if we have yet to graduate.

When Lionel mentioned that he was in this job industry not for the money but for the work satisfaction when the client is happy with their work. I really agreed with what he said, because afterall we’re doing what we love and interest most.

I find it very useful to have a guest speaker to share their expertise as we’ll be able to know more about the industry and these knowledge will get us more prepared for the future.
