Alumni Symposium

I attended the Alumni Symposium on February 15, 2011. It was definitely interesting as there were past students from many different years.

Some of the key points I learned were:
Business Development - How program development should be. Its good to read books on this.


When applying to a job:
If its a Big company- Learn a specialized language.
If its a Small company - Know lots of languages

One of the most important things is:
What is your interest  in computing? - Questions they may ask: Whats the last book you read about computing? Where do u get your computer news?

Good characteristics:
Creativity - Play an instrument. Its good to have a combination if the technical and creativity.

Good skill:
Know Databases. Web Applications are becoming very popular.
