Congratulations to everyone...

My dear friends,
What a incredible day yesterday was. In the morning, as each of you gave your personal reflection of what the workshop meant to you and what you would take back to your respective organisations, George and I were humbled. We are so happy to know we were able to contribute to your own professional development.
Then in the afternoon, to see all your hard work come together in the projects you presented, it was really special too. All of you thought of providing solutions that would help back home...
Cheetah... providing a business directory of up-to-date and reliable information relating to financial institutions, eateries and fast foods, and hotels and inns to visitors to Nigeria and the public.
Leopard... Leopard Konsults improving how biographical data of candidates could be captured and then shared with each examination body to improve the overall online assessment experience.
Lion... promoting tourist attractions in Nigeria, encouraging visitors to see the natural resources and game reserves, along with experiencing the Nigerian hospitality and cultural diversity.
Zebra... Zebra Innovative Technology, website consultancy concentrating in the development of website design and marketing along with building partnerships with those who were doing other specialised work.
Hippo... Hippo Restaurant, promoting healthy eating enabling visitors to place an order and choose from a selection of plant-based meals which aid to improve health and support recovery.
Congratulations, Hippo for being top, but as you all know, each of you are winners. You have all completed the course!
But it's only the start... the challenge starts now.
We covered many topics which gave you an appreciation of everything web. However, depending on your experience some will relate more to the cloud computing and setting up web and email services, others to the programming, others to CSS and web design, others to social media and monitoring... so I would encourage you to select those areas that make more sense to you and build on those. The rest may follow in time but you will always have a respect for those who have strengths in those other areas.
George and I wish you well... but we are only an email away.
