Why People are Successful in Their Jobs When They Failed as Students
We all have tried something before and it did not work out. Like trying to cliff jumping into the ocean. Once I decided to take the steepest and a long water slide. The moment I reach the top and look down- I was scared. Everybody was looking so small on the ground. The water was […]
Estimation and Management for new Software Engineers
We all have faces bosses in our life. For programmers, a boss is a real pain in the ass. And do you know why? They need the work on their whim and they need it now. They think writing a code is a mechanical task – you put two things together and it should work. […]
3 object oriented programming resources that can fail you–may be they already have
I tried to learn good programming skills. I tried learning object oriented programming, design, and principles because I wanted to be a good software engineer.

Becoming a Professional Software Engineer Quickly–Even if You are a Beginner
I tried to develop a system. I was tired of doing small tasks. I was new. Like a toddler in the professional programming world.
As soon as I know the difference between a task and a project. A project is a collection of tasks resulting in a complete product. Something that you own.
I know that if I own a product in my company I will be able to gain benefits throughout my career. That will be my product. This will be a product attributed to me. And I will patent it
Do you have such dreams?
