A journey in to the world of coding Day 1



So for the summer semester, 2014, I will be learning how to code web pages, learn about the basic foundations of coding, and learning how to code in C++. So what do I have facing me this summer? A challenge. A challenge to begin to think in a manner that is logical, mathematical, be given a scenario or task and learn how to create a program that will complete that task. I kind of feel like Julie Powell did when she took on the challenge of going through Julia Child's, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Just as Julie accepted the daunting task of completing a vast number of recipes over the course of year, I will have basically twelve weeks. Twelve weeks in which there will be times that I am ready to pull the hair out of my head, kick, scream and cuss, and hopefully when it is all said and done, I will at least have a basic working knowledge of how to program.  I am beginning a journey even though I am older but looking forward to traveling in to the unknown. After all isn't that what life is all about?

Working on my A+ Certification

Seeing how I am such a huge fan of the movie Julie and Julia, I thought that I would begin to post my progress towards getting my A+ Certification. To catch everyone up, I have already read Exam Prep A+ but found out that the book was was not the latest publication and therefore ordered the Michael Myers A+ Computer Certification which I must say is much easier to read than the exam prep book. Also I bought the Laptop Repair Videos off the podnutz.com site. I must say that the videos are very good and I am glad that I decided to buy the videos. I have set my goal to take the tests in June. From there I will move foward to my Net+ Certification.

Spring Classes 2013

Should be an interesting semester as I will be taking Computer Micro Architecture 2 and Intro to Networking. Both classes have great instructors and I am really looking forward to learning many things through out the course of the semester. No doubt it will be challenging in terms of time management to get everything done. But with hard work and perseverance, I know that will prevail!
