Earned a certificate as a Microsoft Office 2016 I.T specialist as a freshman in high school. This course taught me the skills of Office 2016 and how to create and edit documents and powerpoints. To get the certification I had to prove my skills by taking a Certiport MOS exam. Thanks to the MOS certificate I am now able to create professional documents, powerpoints and spreadsheets. I am also able to assist friends and family with technical issues related to the Office Suite of Applications.
C++ was the first ever programming language I learned in order to get my 'feet wet' into the world of Computer Programming. I took C++ in 11th grade during High School, and C++ really taught me the fundamental concepts and problem solving skills that are shared between other languages.
The summer after I finished learning C++, I started the journey of learning Python. C++ started my passion for computer programming, and I wanted to continue that passion by learning Python. The course was offered through Rice University on Coursera. Because Python and C++ share similar logic, learining Python really enhanced my under of C++. Python also allowed me to become more confident as a programmer & allowed me to write more intuitive code.
