School tomorrow

That’s it. The summer is over. After mostly 80 days of working in a row, with only 1 (one) day off in the whole summer, I’m glad to start something new; a brand new term at Cégep.

Since this is our second year, the courses will be focused more on “professional” skills, such as team-working skills, autonomy, professionalism. We’ll also study technologies like:

  • JavaScript (good), but check the little note below this list.
  • ASP (bad), I prefer PHP.
  • SQL (good)
  • XHTML (good)
  • CSS (good)
  • Flash (bad), but can be good when working on static media.

Ajax? You must be kidding, the staff only begins to take CSS seriously; they’re 3 years late. Ajax is 8 months old; Forget it.

This year will be an interesting one, probably more than last one, because of friends I now have, teachers I now enjoy, and school I don’t get lost into.

Well, at least I’m not as nervous as I was last year…

come on, the staff isn’t that late; don’t forget that it’s actually quite hard to keep updated on stuff when you’re not working ‘on the field’. michelle actually learned actionscript last year, between being the over-helping teacher that she already is, and benoît updates his class on hardware every year.

anyway, yes, it could be better, but it’s not black as you paint it. and on a completely different note, it’s nice to be world-widely recognized as your friend! ;P

My point is: If you’re still designing with tables, you are late.

The name “Ajax” is 8 months old, the technology XMLHttpRequest is in fact nothing new.

Anyway, have fun! :)
