I’ve been an official college graduate for just over a week now, and I’m already making lists of new things to do before I move to California in July and start working full time. I like structure and goals, so here are mine for the time being: 1. Learn JavaScript I decided last year that […]

In three days, I will graduate with my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech. In July, I will be moving to California to start what quite honestly feels like my dream job. After 4 years, I wanted to post a reflection about my path to this point in my life. I decided to take […]

Google just announced that they are keeping Android and Chrome OS separate – you can read the Verge article here.

I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that I need to have different devices to develop for different platforms. I’ve never been a huge fan of Apple products, but I’m starting to think that I need to grab a refurbished Macbook product to start playing around with iOS development. I might be missing something, but I […]
