Getting close to the middle!
Monday was exciting since we got the opportunity to see a local company. Jones IT is a smaller company but they are growing fast, we got to talk to the CEO Evan Jones were he explained to us how he started his career. We also started working on G5s and we started taking them apart. On Tuesday we work on job readiness with Leo, we keep learning the importance of having a resume and a LinkedIn account. After our break Evan came to MEDA and showed us the server room and talked to us about wireless and how networking works. Thursday we worked on creating an application were you can make your own game, that was my favorite part of the week because I really love coding. I am looking forward to next week to start working with JAVA. Also we got some information for the event "Get Connected" this upcoming saturday.
Susware.
