Prequel--a reference sample of a liberal arts student making a career in programming

Hearing about the many benefits of blogging, the early start of writing a "technical blog" idea, but confined to their own shallow "technology", as well as minor obsessive-compulsive disorder-always want to prepare full after the pen-for example, this article has been written for two weeks, but has been trying to modify to "do good", but how to calculate "Do good" Difficult to define. And write and think, adjust, perhaps, is a way.

What does the first write?                                                                                                                                          

"What does the first write?" "Also for a long time. With the technology as the theme, the total feeling can not find the focus point. Simply write a "prequel", Explain my "alien" is how to come, the way to reduce the reader (if any) on the follow-up technical article expectations. (If there is no reader, the right to entertain themselves)

background:                                  ,         &NB Sp                          ,         &NB Sp                                                                       

I am a liberal arts student (Gou), majoring in journalism, Cantonese Broadcasting (internship), news mining/editing/writing, graphic design, audio/video recording/post-processing. The sixth year of graduation (jul.01.2014) to do software development (iOS client)-cross-border out of Xiang.

About the career direction, the most direct impact, the largest should be counted the entrance examination to fill the volunteer moment. Not someone to ridicule "now flow of sweat and tears, are the entrance examination of volunteers when the brain into the water"?

I have no ambition, China's assembly-line education has not taught me how to find their own interests, explore their career direction, explore their own meaning of life. Or maybe I am dull, looking at everyone fought, full of faith, playing chicken blood to do the successor of the socialist cause, I slow a few shots, still tangled "what is the difference between socialism and capitalism?" ", not all open factories, companies, work to make money, why we are more noble than others, justice ... Caught in a tangle, into confusion ... To scold me is not enlightened I also have no opinion, people like this, every brain in the things are different.

Unconsciously to the entrance examination to fill the sacred time, for the study of what major, completely no concept. High school choice of liberal arts, the reason is poor chemical performance (back to the chemical molecular back to dizziness); Parents do not have this experience, can not give too much advice; brother just suggested that the school, for the professional is not very clear ... So in the case of unclear so, the first volunteer to fill the Southwest University of Economics Major (now recalled, will not be subject to "economic construction as the center of" imperceptible), the result of the motherland without the door, the first volunteer was brushed off, was the second voluntary admission. Choose the "radio and television journalism", the reason is that the name is long enough (compared to other majors, more attention), it seems very fun.

Later asked a lot of people, most of the situation and I like, professional choices are more random-or lack of consideration, or only consider the opinions of others, do not ask what they like. I think this is why so many "yards" in the cause of the goof, everyone is very randomly assigned to this post, not out of interest, out of love.

I don't know why, when I first started school, I realized that I should turn to professional, and wanted to turn to computer science-I do not know why this idea. But after consulting a computer professional high school classmate (girl) opinion, eventually give up, because she said learning computer to learn high number, frighten urine. Now think, how I hope this girl said to me: "To try it, rather than regret, do not miss the regret."

"Want to turn computer science", this may be my career planning to send out the original, the most primitive voice, but this idea is fleeting. However, this is the "origin" of all subsequent stories.

departure:                                  ,         &NB Sp                          ,         &NB Sp                                                < strong>                                               < /strong>                

After graduation, has been in Dongguan (here to accept a certain part of the envy of the men's eyes) to do and news-related work, until the third job, to a Taiwan-funded factory (Delta Electronics) to work, more stable, relatively free time (about the prejudice of Taiwan-funded enterprises, the latter intends to write something to justify), so the inner restlessness The idea that has been in my mind for years is whether computer/programming is my interest, or is it my lifelong career? "In the surging, and the previous difference is that after the Taiwan-funded enterprises experience, implementation has been improved, so the end of 2012 reported training courses." Initially wanted to learn Android program development, because it was also used Android phone. However, "x in Guangzhou training institutions" said Android class is not enough students to start classes, it is recommended to learn iOS, such as Android class, and then decide whether to turn over. " So was "fooled" in the past, began a period of work in Dongguan, Guangzhou study on both sides of the life, a year down, also saved the hundred Zhang move ticket, ran six thousand or seven thousand kilometers. (The so-called "Weekend Class", Saturday to a day Class). Teaching effect, do not comment, anyway, this organization in Guangzhou, iOS training to finish our class will not be done. But I think it is worth the rush, no matter how the teaching effect, for a liberal arts students, everything is so novel, learn even bit by bit all let me feel excited.

In this way, the bumps are also considered to be in the door.

actual combat:                                                                                                                                                             

Last year (2013) after the end of training, began to self-study, but no real practice, the effect is not good, so it is intended to find a job, a formal career change. But the situation is a bit like the "deadlock/deadlock"--in multithreaded programming "I want to accumulate actual combat experience, so I have to move, but because of no experience, almost no company will want me.

No way, always take the first step, starting from the beginning of this year (2014) began to resume, ran a few companies in Dongguan, Shenzhen, until June, see a company in Dongguan recruit, sent a resume past, it seems no echo, later on the official website to see their technical director's mailbox, and then emailed a resume, It's a response this time! Call a past interview. There was no work at the time, only a small demo (and semi-finished product) that was done during the training. The boss of the company is very good, in Samsung, Huawei stayed. I was told that I was a liberal arts career, and gave me a lot of valuable advice--thanks so far. Because I have nothing to prove my iOS development capabilities, they did not say to me at the scene, just let me go back and put some self-satisfied works (whether programmed or at the time of the graphic design or other). So go back, very carefully prepared, will be written before the news, do interviews, design posters, clips of the short film, picked a part of the past. Do not know is not my work attracted them, incredibly really received the notice of the past to work!

So, in the sixth year of graduation (July 2014), with only the original three-point salary, at an awkward age (29 years old), began his own programming career.

As for age, I comfort myself: Although the entry is late, but if the remaining 35 years (assuming 65-year-old retired) to be diligent, according to the "10,000-hour law", it is not too bad.

"The pursuit of the pleasure of creating things."

Although the start is late, the process twists and turns, but also often accompanied by problems after the weakness, frustration. However, it is not too late for the "26 to start learning objective-c, as the" know-how "has been answered. "This question says:" If there is a desire to create things, I think it is not too late to learn what age. "The thrill of creating things in problem solving and project completion" is enough to keep me going.

At the end of my life, I may regret this career change, but it is also "done with regret", not "missed regret".
