Edit: Wrote this post a month ago but for some reason I forgot to post it! I recently attended the Winter Job Fair and the Disciplines of Engineering Career Fair (DECaF) held at UCSD where hundreds of companies and prospective employees go to network and hopefully land a job. I went with the same intention … Continue reading Job Fairs at UCSD

Hello! I haven't been able to update the blog lately, mainly because I have been playing Maplestory (an MMORPG that is SO addicting).

One of the interviews is actually happening tomorrow … Continue reading Status Update: December 21, 2016

I just thought of a few more things to write about that could be greatly beneficial to web development. I've started watching the Udemy lecture, Javascript: Understanding the Weird Parts, and when starting it, I didn't think I was going to learn much. However, the further I got into the lecture, the more I started … Continue reading Status Update: November 21, 2016
What is a Web Service?

HTTP means Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It is a stateless internet protocol meaning that there is no memory of any previous page actions or commands. Basically, nothing can … Continue reading What is a Web Service?

Just opened up a blog I had from a very long time ago: pjamas180.wordpress.com It was basically a blog that I had to detail my college life. The last time I wrote in it was June 1, 2014 which was a looong time ago (relatively). I would say I've changed a bunch since then especially … Continue reading Status Update: November 18, 2016
