The insanity of a programmer!
Second lesson today was programming.THE TEACHER IS CRAZY! According to him, hes the best programmer around and we are all Martians driving around in Nissan Micra's while eating cookies! Its like today, he tried explaning how to lay out our desktop, how to use windows explorer and the "classic" windows 98 layout that he uses... so hes in the stone ages? wedont really care! or at least, I dont!
We are also going to be learning Pascal. (like I said, the stone ages) I understand his reasoning behind teaching us a basic language like Pascal, but when its not used any more, and has been superceded but other languages, why not teach us them instead? OK pascal is easy to learn and it follows a logical order, but when it only teaches you the basics, why not go a lil faster (and his lessons do go really really slow) and teach us javascript or C++ or Php or SQL or something that will actually get us a job in programming?
Im ranting now, I know! ohh... and my teachers are reading this! Whoops!
Overall, the lessons have been boring, but educational, at the moment Im just getting to know the teachers and my class mates etc... Hopefully in a week or two, when the assignments start coming out, the lessons will get a lil more on track!
Reading my course handbook it tells us what the classes are going to cover, and in computer applictions we are going to be doing web authoring, development of the PC, impact of computers on society and the history of the internet along with email & conferencing and multimedia authoring. so it does involve so web site work... even if its not as much as I hoped it would be!
Sorry bout the pic of me to the right, I dont take pics of me! Im a photographer... had to prove we can upload pictures to the net in class! Oh, and its edited, resized, and embedded into the main coding as well... Not just a click on upload, select pic, click ok jobbie! Haha! Not that my teachers asked for that! oh well... It shows I can do it! and if they still dont believe me they can go to my website and look at all the pics I have uploaded onto there! hehe!
Core skills and anothe programming course tomorrow! Oh the joy! No, but honestly? should be a fun day, as always!
Oh... I also got my student ID today! and I didnt take my bandanna off for the pic! lucky me! hehe! I look like a geek with it off... oh... Im studying IT... I am a geek! LMFAO!
