Software Development and Programming Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

I had nothing but easy classes my last Quarter that was the only Dean's list and 4.0 I got in college.

only because i took a semester off from doing a CS curriculum because i wasnt sure..and then i gave it a try..but it resorted to me having to load up senior year so i could graduate on time

I was way past graduating on time, my only concern was graduating in june at that point. When I passed my classes that Winter quarter I knew I was in the good. Got lucky enough to get laid back classes with professors I liked.

Copped two free audibles books via my Prime/Audible trials:

I am an hour into 'The Complete Software Developer's Career Guide' book and so far so good:


Additionally I also copped 'Algorithms to Live By' but I don't see myself starting that one anytime soon.


What is everyone reading, studying in these anti-social times?

Just started rocking with XCode, will be up from 7-10 tomorrow morning getting used to the IDE and getting a taste of Swift.

Will try and brainstorm a simple project.

Lil bro just won NSBE prez election. I pretty much raised him on this coding life from the time he was 8. Put him in public speaking courses by 10. Has been interning at Google the last 3 summers and is on pace to start working there full-time after he graduates next year. That is if Two Sigma, Jane Street, or Goldman Sachs doesn't throw him the bag. I'm so proud.

Nope. It was my first time using the site yesterday and I got my $1 books on my kindle app already (I had to download the .mobi and send it to my kindle email).
