Today was one of those up and down days– this morning as we went through chapters on “scenarios” and “delivering personalized content”, I was very excited, eagerly sending off notes to co-workers on how this could enhance our offerings. By the afternoon I was glaring at my monitor, able to see why things weren’t working (”the “Views an item from SongsRepository” event isn’t being triggered”) with absolutely no idea how to fix them.
But I suppose that’s what experience is for, right? It’s not meant to be that easy..
Once again, I felt very fortunate to be attending training with 10 of my co-workers; I feel the shared experiences will definitely add up to be worth more than the sum of its parts. I work with incredibly talented individuals, and I know we all asked some questions beyond the standard syllabus, and we’re all better for it. Any one person can poke around and discover things, but the comradery of the team meant we were all learning and sharing together. I’ve been in training classes with people I didn’t know, and I’ve even sat in classrooms with people term after term, but there is just a different vibe in our training class. We know the personal passions of the different people, and those biases/areas of expertise show in their questions. It’s been a great way to learn and collaborate together, and I feel confident that when we start to apply our knowledge, the outcome will be all the better with our having been training together.
