Not yet, but if people are interested we could get them started on that.

Thats a whole lot of stuff going on, you should come in and give a talk at some point about what it is like starting in these new positions. I am sure everyone could learn a lot.

This summer I interned at Outdoor Gear Exchange, and I too got introduced to a bunch of new stuff right off the bat. Their site is built off the open source e-commerce platform Magento, which itself is built on the zendframework. I got a nice introduction to git, layout xml, and the sheer size of some modern day websites. Seeing how big the databases were for our local little store I can't possibly imagine the size of the database for a company like amazon.

Hi guys! I just started at Dealer this week, and was sitting here wishing I had had more of an idea of what to expect at the position I accepted. Then I thought, heck, a bunch of us are out there already, and we should share with you guys some of the technology we're using every day so you can at least have a sort of a topic list of what is being used out here in different companies.

In my internship at EQ2 (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login), a software company focused on administration and maintenance, I made use of a whole bunch of classic ASP, some Windows Server in a couple of different flavors and some basic html and css. This company was very awesome, if slightly behind on a lot of the UX and display technology. However, when I left, they were working on some very cool stuff.

My internship at MyWebGrocer (mywebgrocer.com) was very informative for me; I was exposed to a much larger ode base than I had been before, as well as having to learn C#, MVC3/razor, ANT, t-SQL and how to actually make use of a number of coding principles that I knew in theory. I learned a good deal about unit testing, SOLID, reflection and how awesome the Microsoft tools can be.

Thus far at Dealer.com I have been exposed to Groovy, Grails, ext.js, Jenkins, Maven, and gitflow.

Obviously most of my experiences have been in web-based and mobile technologies, so there is always jQuery, jQuery mobile, phonegap, SASS/Compass, HTML5, javascript, AJAX, knockout.js and everyone seems to like HighCharts.

Anyone working on a CS Crew Gitolite server, Gitoliteserver, and integration server?

...If you do that RPG thing, I want to be a mini-boss.

I got part of the way through the Program testing class. It was good and brought up interesting ideas. I have yet to finish it, but that is the good thing about those classes, you can start up again from where you left off at anytime. Perhaps when I have nothing to work on this semester (like that is ever going to happen) I will keep going through the lessons.

Test Driven Development is a huge skillset, and knowing how to make use of the tools that are out there can make a huge difference in landing a job after school!

I don't know if you all saw Allison's email about the Maker Faire, but I feel like this is something we should do as the CS Crew. We could get a booth and sow off some of our previous years stuff. I figured we could talk about it when school starts next week, but we have to move fast. It would be great outreach for us. Also it sound super fun.

It's been good, so far I've only been watching movie on the developing platform, which is a pretty interesting. Nothing to contribute yet, I'm working 46-48 hours a week in the coming weeks so I probably won't have much time to get stuff done.
