I’ve started my programming career when I was in college. I had different pressure’s on my shoulder to focus or master this skill (a few people considered me expert, but I don’t think that this apply to my skill level), 1 as subject in my curriculum, and 2nd to earn extra box for my allowance (thanks to all my colleagues that ask me to do their projects.. oops!! To their instructor, I’m sorry too, but I thought them on how to do/code it, the question is if they do absorb it… hehehe). I’ve done a couple of project’s in way back in college, some are compilers, hardware drivers for a customed projects, etc… But there’s a denominator in between them, I’ve worked with my old friend, good and trusted friend, TurboC++ V3.0, I miss you buddy, with less than 6MB of compressed binary, my pal is very handy, she even travel through email express for my cheatmates, bwahahaha J
(Konting Kwento) So…the last quarter term (we have 4 terms/year, most of the Univ/Colleges has 2 terms/year) has come, and after being exempted to take the final exam of my last subject (forgot what subject it was… hahaha), on my way to our tambayan (OTi, Organization for Technical Innovation) my colleagues ask me, “Pre, graduate na ba? “ (English version, “Hey Dude, are you graduating this season?“, bwahaha, awkward, better stick to the Tagalog version. Wink! And I said, with a tear running on my eye’s “OO PARE!!! SA WAKAS!!! WOHOO…!!!” , (a new blog will be made for this event..ala lang.. gusto ko lang ikwento..hehehe).

So, i joined my first company and work as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer (where I meet my “Kumpare”, Adrian Oreta and a lot of other great and bright people on the field of IT Bussiness) gave me the opportunity to enhanced my skills by joining their elite team (naks!, their elite, but me, hmmm.. di ata… hehehe). As QA, our automating tool used VBScript as the scripting tool to perform/code scripts to automate testing of websites and application, as well as load testing (load testing - to simulate how the system will react if a number of user,the load, is using the system in parallel, what? huh? the?....whatever…:-D).
Ok…VB won, I have to move away from my buddy (C++) for a while to study and use VBScript (which im not comfortable of using, oooppps..sorry VB fans, it’s just me.)
Flashback----- During the interview, my boss, told me that he will try to evaluate me after 3-6 months and after that, if there is an available slot for the Development Team, he will put me to that group.
To be.. continued…
