As a University student who started learning about programming about a year ago, I have found programming to be fun and exciting. I am honing my programming skills by visiting websites such as CodeAcademy.com and CodingBat.com. I have experience with Java and Data Structures from my computer science courses that I have taken at San Jose State University. I am learning C and Java Object-Oriented Design along with HTML and Python.I am a huge video game console gamer and learning about programming offers a different view every time I play a game. Before I became a programmer, I used to take for granted on how a video game operated or how a computer worked. Now I can navigate a computer and have a deeper understanding on how data is processed. From a visual perspective, if you told a computer to do a simple task such as making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or asked it to throw out the trash, it can be quite complicated if you do not give precise step-by-step procedures on how to perform the task. As you know technology is constantly evolving and becoming a useful and necessary tool in people's everyday lives especially in the business world. It is clear there will be many challenges in the future from preventing cyber-attacks and individual hackers exploiting other people's personal information. As a young computer scientist, the skills and abilities to be an effective programmer means that I am going to take part in helping technology expand and become easier for people to understand and use in their everyday lives.
Any welcome comments and open conversations with you as I develop this technical blog.
Hi Cleto,
ReplyDeleteI see you have updated your profile and blog post. Another suggestion is that you take out your explanation about how your technical expertise does not live up to your classmates. You want to promote yourself and people reading this blog understand that you are still a student. Also, “I do have a understanding” can be changed to something more confident like “I have experience with.” Nice touch on making your post personal, but I would still re-read it over and over to find ways to promote yourself, your brand, to the best that you can. Other than that good job!
