I consider myself as an expert on solving problems, troubleshooting issues, and coming up with solutions in a timely manner, which is the reason I chose computer science. Computer science is mainly about breaking down the problem and coming up with abstract algorithms. In most of my programming classes, professors give us the results of program and then we are expected to write a program that meets a set of given requirements. My feeling is amazingly complex when I start a program from scratch, write pseudocode, code, test and debug, and debug and debug. . .feelings range from anger and disappointment to enjoyment and satisfaction. In addition, my interest in computer science developed while taking two of my programming classes. One was CS 151, Object Oriented Design, where I learned how to program in object oriented way including integrating my concrete classes to one abstract class or interface, and properly applying different design patterns on my program. My other CS class was CS 146, Data Structure and Algorithms, and I learned how to apply different sorting or searching algorithm and choose the data structure best for my program. These are all eye-opening courses and I am looking for explore more amazing things in my future class as well as my career. I hope you will find my posts interesting, and I am looking forward to your comment!

ReplyDeleteHi Tin, it's nice and interesting to read your technical blog. I really like your blog color, the theme picture and how you organized your blog. However, as Debra mentioned in class, our profile pictures should be from shoulders up and be professional; therefore, it would be nicer and more professional if you could crop your profile picture as the required size. Also, when viewing your blog, I could not see your complete profile. The only thing I saw on your profile is your gender. I'm not sure if you have set up your profile private. But in my opinion, as a blog reader, it would be easy for me to understand your point of view better if I could know more about you (usually through your complete profile). Regardless of my above notices, I find it really interesting that you consider yourself good at solving problems, troubleshooting issues, and coming up with solutions because it's hard to find excellent problem solvers nowadays. Also, from several emails I've received from recruiters hiring SJSU students, they mentioned that some of CS students at SJSU don't even know what a linkedlist is and what it is used for when asked during internship interviews (I assume you know what it is since you already took CS 146). So I think you must have a profound foundation and understanding about data structures and algorithms. I would strongly recommend you consider taking CS 155 - Introduction to Design & Analysis of Algorithms. It would be useful for your future career. Finally, as your fellow in CS 100W, I wish we all would have a great semester together :)
