Welcome students!

Hi students!

Welcome to this short course! Why don't you start by telling us a little bit about yourself, and what you would like to take away from this course?

Just reply to this message!

Ok, let me start.

My name is Mathapelo, currently working as a Traffic Controller for a company called STRIATA in Rosebank. I'm responsible for quality checking, proof reading and distribution of all email campaigns i.e newsletters, invitations and promotions. I work along side campaign developers and account managers. I have always been interested in IT but I had to find my passion in it since the IT field is broad. So working along side coders got me fascinated to an extend that I want to be part of their team and to see myself also being able to produce the end product rather than being the one checking the end product.

Working for STRIATA is has been such a great opportunity and in this course I would like to see myself taking in as much knowledge as I could to also see myself getting into the campaign development team. Currently the team it's only male dominated but I'm very keen to try and the company also gave me to opportunity to study this course. We do have female coders but they are in a different department name Integration team and they are my inspiration.

I hope will do well in this course.

Thanks Mathapelo

Hi all

First of all would like to greet the Lecture. To all the Students whom got Accepted With me,Congrats

To tell You a little about my Self I am Working at the Airport as a GSE planner, that’s Ground support Equipment planner. I do daily allocations of all the Equipment that interact with the aircrafts by day. And in my off time I am a volunteer Fire-fighter.

My family has been in the IT field for a very long time and for years I have been using the internet to teach myself about computers till where I am today. My family could not afford to send me to the University for further studying but that did not stop me from Reaching my Goals to be the very best and to achieve many things on the “Square TV’s’” as my Grandmother described it.

So this course is not just a course to me. It’s to Expand my Knowledge on the inn’s and out’s of the Internet and to Create Free websites and Share knowledge to those who is currently in a position where I was. Knowledge and information Needs to be free! After all that’s why the Internet was created for.

I will give my very best in this course. And hope to take away skills to improve tomorrow’s websites and go in a mission to make some Websites Quicker, because by the love-of-internet i will send some websites to go and Fetch my Death, I will never die!

Y'ello All,

I am currently employed by a company called NETEX as a General Manager. I was always fascinated by programming as it lets you create something out of nothing. It gives you a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment to see the finished product and you can say that you did it.

I can relate to ShawnC as my parents never had the money to send me off to university or college, but since I left school, I completed a modelling teacher's course, I am a certified hypnotherapist and ethno psychology practitioner as well as a yoga instructor. This said, I also study Psychological counselling with UNISA part time. Knowledge in action is POWER.

I hope to hear a lot of you and I am extremely excited about the course.

Regards,

Mano

Hi guys my name is Sipho Mkhwanazi-72903694.

I really like what ShawnC-77917650 posted, I can relate to it. I have always been good in computers, I discovered my talents in year 2006 while in high school, I used to shadow our lab technician and learned a lot. I also was unfortunate enough to have parents who couldn't afford to send me to collage but that did not stop me and everything I know now is self taught from various sources on the Internet.

I completed the "Computers Networks" course with UNISA that gave me recognition at work and helped me start my own IT support business and now am doing this (Internet & Web Applications course with the aim of offering "Web App Design" as some of my services. I must say I love it already funny enough I did java script programming via Code-Academy ,I am already saving up for PHP second semester.

I believe in free computing and free software and I want to contribute to the course so I am also doing the Linux Professional Certification (LPIC) via the Linux Professional Institute LPI and I must say I have officially dumped windows (I am now Open Source).

I cant wait to begin Coding I know most of the stuff in the Internet side and I am reading it only as revision but I must say this author explains soooo much better than my previous (Computer Networks) author.

Sipho-72903694

Open source (GNU/Linux) is here to stay I have huge plans for this course, I cant wait for PHP semester two..
