Chapter 11 – Words

One thing that this chapter want to tell us is that, why settle for a month long preparation of gibberish documents alike when you just need a simple plan.  I look this point as getting real. Well getting real, is real, and true to one’s self isn’t it? I mean why do all the works, give all your strengths, efforts for this tons of work loads that your boss wants by the end of the week if your customer/client only needs a few. I mean, the academe have taught us how to manage a project, build a systems design, analysis of a certain system and what have you. But just for the sake of knowing what we will do when we graduate and we choose to have those tracks. Professors gave us this kind of drill for the sake of knowing. Well, in the academe we are given tons of work loads evaluating companies, books, small scale store. We need to put everything we can to work with that. But is it getting real then?

In this chapter I realized that all we have in the academe is just a mere of practicing what is right. It will not mean that everything we did are applicable outside but just the thought of knowing how to do it. I mean not every teaching will be applicable when  you be in your certain place doing this same old systems analysis and design for the client you have in you company. By reading this getting real by 37 signals give me enough knowledge what would I do with my life after school. What will I do with my work after school. And what means to be real.

Just be real. That’s what it really mean of. Converse with the world in a simple way. Converse to them and get what they need, have what they want. Not everything will be applicable to a system which only needs certain things.

I remember what I have reported before, I was task to report of Accounting systems applications. I gave them [my co-students] the knowledge that those top 500 companies we have in the world have their own self-made accounting system. One thing they want their own,  more of what is applies to their needs. The thing is, not all features that accounting softwares we have in the market are useful for a company that process importation or what have you. Let us have enough features. Being simple and consise is a thing to this world. We don’t need flowery pots just for the sake of wellness in us.

well, when possible for chapter 11.

Chapter 10 – Code

well coding, what was coding then? speaking of coding. I love to code. Usually I do some codes for my website before. When I was highschool that was the time I started to code. I usually do my website. HTML was just my forte that time. I coded lots of websites from my former team Don Bosco Taekwondo Club website to Jet1 club– a motor lover group of people. Well, I didn’t see that before that I know how to code. I just noticed it when I was here in the college.

I experience alot from coding. I am not just a web developer but a software engineer/developer as well. I love coding seriously, eventhough i have a hard time coding sometimes I still enjoyed it. One thing that would make me happy is by developing a software/website that would make customers/clients [i usually call my professors,teachers, co-students]  my customers proud of me and loving what I had. That was one of the main happiness of a programmer I guess, seeing their clients satisfied and contented on what they’ve done for their clients.

Speaking of codes I remember my recent work. That was our recent machine project for our programming applications class. We were tasked to build a login page for our lottery game and I enjoyed it. The time Sir Mon asked us to do it. My mind starts to find ways on how to deal with this. how would i do it? what design would i make? will do put some images? effects maybe? and things like that. As I got myself home. I started having my design, but damn~! not enough time to do extravangant things so I decided not to get too much flower on my field. I just have my header with me, a simple background, a small box containing textboxes and labels. I guess that was one thing that this chapter is telling us. I mean, not too much flower. You don’t need much to say that you have the best software in town. keeping the codes simple as it is will tell you that. Well, if you don’t have much codes you will not have too much features or designs right? One important thing is that you enjoyed doing it and having it simply.

I guess that was the main point chapter 10 wants us to know.
