Hello my lovely blog readers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I think the first thing to say is “yayy I got a 2:1 for first year”!! It’s first year so technically I got 25 more percents than I need, but it’s still nice to say you got a decent grade and didn’t ‘just pass’ – but it kind of means I need to keep it up for two more years now I’ve done it once!!<\/p>\n
The second is to give some sort of review of the first week of my internship with Ericsson. I spent most of the first week getting used to the place, and the framework I’m going to be spending the bulk of my time on. It’s all written in C\/C++ which I hadn’t had much exposure to using beyond “hello world”, although I could follow the structure of it. The way I learned Java, Ruby and PHP were by looking at big projects and seeing how they fit together because there’s usually a real-world example of everything, and given I’m fairly confident with it only a week later either shows I’m just a natural genius (possible…) or that I’ve found a good way to learn.<\/p>\n
Hopefully during the time I’ll get to play with some low-level stuff, shifting bits around and reading signals from hardware, which is really different to everything I’ve done in the past – but there are also some “ideas” for high-level applications floating around so it would be good to be able to put my name on a project and “leave a legacy” rather than being another name on the git blame list!!<\/p>\n
I’ll post another update in a couple of weeks when I’m more into it and can explain what exactly I’ve been doing – it’ll save me writing a CV I’ll just send all the potential employers this way!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
