So I am taking a course in Web Information Systems which basically deals with new web technologies that help build up web services on the internet (much like Giantbomb). As our design project, we were supposed to build a web application that gets data from two different sources based on a user query and mashes it up together and displays all the information in one place.

One of my professors brought up a very interesting point regarding the phrase "Steep learning curve" that is used quite often in videogame terminology. It always pisses him off when he hears people talking about having a hard time due to the "Steep learning curve".

I am working on a GUI now .. maybe polish it up a bit...
