Change does happen almost every day with Internet.
Two years ago I was just finishing off my military career.
I was an artillery soldier and I did some oversea tours.
Well right off the bat they show you some of second-year work.
Some of it just blows my mind what some of these student’s can do.
When the Internet first came out I was very engulfed with it and I was very interested
in the Internet and the capabilities of the Internet and the technologies behind it and
so I just wanted to explore more.
My family, they knew I was going into something like this, my friends, yeah, they also thought
that.
My family and friends obviously they really love the idea that I’m doing this.
I have two daughters and they both think I’m the coolest dad in the world.
The courses that I take are pretty much programming languages so we’re introduced to PHP and
MySQL, and SQL, and Javascript.
Some of my favourites I would say would be the Javascript classes.
My work that I do is for people that are interested in how I made that happen.
All of our labs are hands-on training.
You learn by doing.
For one of our portfolio assignments we were to create a product, and so I did a digital
thermostat that learns as you move it.
So that was just something that really made me feel well, like I’ve achieved something.
It’s better to try and then have failed then to have never tried at all so I’m always
about trying something new.
Success to me is if you end up happy then you’re successful.
I’m glad that I’ve chosen Durham as my institution for learning and a gateway to
a great employment.
You’ll get there. Durham College will help you get there.
