Last year I wrote about my classes, and although it probably wasn’t, I felt I talked about the tutors in a negative light to start with. Mostly because I think I was being moody. But either way, it turned out Matthew Dean — my old course leader — found my blog, and then I felt somewhat awkward. I’ve decided though that if he read the feedback then he could use it. There’s nothing wrong with it. With that in mind, I had my first classes of the year today.
First class was software design and development. Which is a weird way of saying Java. I’ve not used Java, but I’m pretty sure it’s as easy to pick up as every other language. I’m trying to stay enthusiastic about learning more about it, but looking through the list of topics for this module there’s only one or two things I don’t already know about. I’m worried this is going to be another module where we spend a year learning something that should be taught in a week’s worth of lessons.
Really; learning a language once you already know how to program isn’t hard. They don’t change much.
Second lesson was database design and implementation. Which I’m really worried is the exact same module as the database one last year. In fact, I have the course book which I’ll look though later.
Anyway, it’s still nice to have classes to go to now, I guess.
