Hi everyone. I am so excited about starting my very first blog. This blog is dedicated to my CS100W class at San Jose State University, so I would like to especially welcome my professor, Debra Caires, and my fellow classmates. I fell in love with computer science when I took an introductory programming class in high school. The ability to make computers do certain things was beyond exhilarating and I was giddy with anticipation as to what else I could do. After writing a simple “Hello World” program and developing a Tic-Tac-Toe game, I knew I wanted to pursue the field of computer science and got the chance to do so at San Jose State University. Throughout high school, I learned the basics of Java, but it was not until college that I was truly able to solidify my java skills. I also learned about data structures and algorithms and object-oriented design. Currently, I am learning about database management systems, programming paradigms, and server web programming. I continue to develop my current skills to become a better programmer and look forward to gaining new technical skills.
I find everything about the field of computer science exciting. It is truly remarkable how computers are used to solve simple, everyday tasks to highly complex problems. I especially love how versatile this field is because it enables computer scientists to apply their skills in any other field. Currently, I am interested in mobile development, so I hope to use the skills I have gained so far in order to develop apps that people can enjoy. After graduating from college, I hope to get a job that allows me to develop new applications or expand upon existing application that people use.
