So, the summer is over. I’ve completed my period of work in the wacky world of software development and enjoyed my time spent there thanks to the good people who decided to take me on. I’ve learnt a lot, and achieved a lot in a twelve week period.
I travel back to university tomorrow to enjoy a slightly different lifestyle for another year, and as usual am looking forward to it. I do feel an exposure to the practicalities of software dev has really helped to consolidate what I already know and will undoubtedly give me useful experience to draw on in the future. I think college and university courses should offer more vocational experience in some way, because it is a very useful way of accelerating your learning.
The dawn of the new academic year is almost synonymous to a new year by the ordinary annual calendar, and on this academic new years eve I feel ready for anything my next year at uni can throw at me.
