Ok maybe more of a Dave & Busters for grown up nerds.
One of the main reasons I've decided to take up blogging again is in anticipation for my upcoming trip to ThoughtWorks University in Bangalore India. I was suppose to have left on Tuesday but my business visa got delayed. Thankfully I got it yesterday so I am leaving tomorrow for India. My excitement level for this trip is pretty high up there, comparable to first day of college, graduation day of college, first paying freelance gig, first metal show where I got to jump in the mosh pit...yep life changing events =)
This has been my first week at ThoughWorks, most of which I've spent at the "beach" learning Java and Testing as part of Agile Software Development. The people here are super friendly and talented. I got to sit next to expert developer and recent TWU grad SgHill who helped me learn some basic coding. I was so proud of myself for finally finishing a calendar program after a full day of coding...which probably would have taken some of the awesome developers here 10 minutes to code T___T.
The rest of today I plan on learning some SQL and go through some great tutorials at Industrial Logic. Then, off to packing and you'll get to hear from me when I land in India!
SG Hill and I have strikingly similar appearance all the way down to our D&G glasses and beards.

Will be good to meet you :) All the guys here for TWU are really nice, and I'm sure you'll have a great time once you get here!

ReplyDeleteNice! I will not be the only one arriving late :)
ReplyDeleteWell, but I may be the latest, since I will probably only arrive on tuesday morning. Unless my Visa arrives this afternoon and I can change my flight.
See you in there!
