This Winter Quarter, instead of taking a stereotypical course that provides me the opportunity to focus on my programming skill set, I have decided to take a Special Topics Course concerning One Laptop Per Child.
Originally, I was signed up to take a JavaScript course, but after talking about the Special Topic course to friends and family, I realized that signing up for it would be a good decision. I enjoy helping people, and the OLPC course provided me the opportunity to use my skill set to help students who are learning about computers. Who would think, I would learn so much more.
The first day of the course, I was pleasantly surprised that the 11 week quarter "Craziness" of RIT would not be affecting our work in this course. Our professor stressed on producing quality work that can easily be handed off to the Open Source Community.
Speaking of Open Source Community, that was yet another pleasant surprise. We would be learning about the Open Source Community and be involved with the membership throughout the quarter.
Lastly, I learned we were going to get our hands dirty and learn a new programming language called Python. I am eager to start programming in this language, as it is a HOT language in the market.
-Wish me luck :D
