My Web Development Week at Immedia Summer School. This blog post described the task I was given, my experience, the challenges I faced and the lessons I learned, and the experience I gained.

Being one of the scholars have opened my eyes to many different fields available to choose from and at the same time understanding and gaining information as much as I can and i have a awesome mentor ( Welcome) who inspires me so much.

I opted to learn C#. I have never worked with it or had even seen it before.

3rd Day at immedia

I curbed the typical blue–Monday–after–a-lovely- weekend-fever, as my week started with a great start at Summer School.

I was welcomed exceptionally well by Nomfundo as she got me and the other Summer School attendees prepared with her introductory address to the programme.

I would like to start by saying immedia is the best tech company ever!

They provided us with this priceless experience for free. We learned a lot and it inspired us to learn more.

They assigned us great mentors and the work environment is so great. Learning never ends.

Thank you immedia, for the Summer School. God Bless You!

I Logged on to the Virtual Machine that was created which was Linux Based (Ubuntu) on putty. This Virtual machine had no Graphic user interface (GUI), at first it seem different using it but my mentor showed me and encouraged me to use command lines which I started to like.

So close, but yet so far …

This is how far I am with my application ( Tabs ,Toolbar , Navigation Drawer and APIs).

It’s here ! the first day of summer school has finally arrived. My expectation? To fit in ! But to my surprise it was warm welcomes and a straight to the point work atmosphere, completely opposite from the vision I had to what it would be like.

Creating my first application on android studio, was a blast. I’ve learnt so much. I still cant believe how fast the WiFi is!

A lecture on SCRUM and Agile development was taught thereafter we played a game that explained to us how we improve productivity when you work as a team. As seen in the image attached, we initially took 40 seconds to complete the task given to us, but through several iterations,

Today was an exciting experience, learned how to design a log in page on Android studio.

So close, but yet so far …

This is how far I am with my application ( Tabs ,Toolbar , Navigation Drawer and APIs).

Nothing is as it seems. There’s just so many things to be taken into consideration when doing any type of design, it’s overwhelming.

2nd Day at immedia

Special thanks to my mentor Nosipho, she gave me everything I needed to know. We covered grid views, recycler views, toolbars, tabs, navigation drawer, fragments, activities, intent, and Rest APIs, it is all up to me now.
