I've just started classes after a short break from the end of the summer term. The last two classes are a course on computer graphics, using C++, and a capstone project course.
The graphics course has been interesting so far using opengl and Microsoft visual studio, and C++! Most of the work in the major up until now has been in Java, so it'll be a little learning curve to work with C++. However, it seems that C++ and Java have a lot in common, so it shouldn't be too tough. I've had to make use of my windows OS on my dual boot comp to run the full microsoft visual studio.
The capstone course placed us into groups to come up with our own ideas for projects. My group has come up with an idea of creating a website with a database and a few apps. I will be working mainly on one of the apps. It's an interesting idea since it blends different skillsets of the groupmembers, some are more comfortable with programming languages more commonly used for website design like HTML, CSS, and others. Although most of my studies has been in Java, it'll be interesting to learn from the others and work on how to make components of different languages compatible.
