  1. What did you do this past week?

The first week of school is always fun. Learning about your classes, buying books for classes, meeting new people is always exciting. I was in Dallas for a summer internship and came back to Austin last week.

2. What’s in your way?

I just moved into a new apartment last week. So I am still settling in and buying stuff for my new place. Other than that, I am fully ready for this semester.

3. What will you do next week?

I am taking six classes this semester including an online class for my BFP certificate. So I am going to get started with reading and start learning new things. I am also preparing for upcoming career fair. I am gradating in December and looking for full time jobs. So, I will be applying and preparing for job interviews.

4. What are your expectations of the class? (this question will vary, week to week)

I am hoping to learn many new technologies. I am a backend guy and do not know much about front end technologies. So I am hoping to expand my knowledge in frontend. I am very excited and eager to learn React. Working with AWS and Docker technologies will be fun.

5. What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?

Recently, I learned about a tool name Twilio which provides communication APIs for SMS, Voice, Video and Authentication. It’s pretty useful tool. https://www.twilio.com/
