Small personal update


I have received some mails about my post "Software engineering at Aalborg University" and every one seems to think I still attend the Business Academy of Aarhus and their program for Computer Science.
So just a little update:
I graduated from the Business Academy in start of June and worked at the University of Aarhus for 3 months.
Then I moved to Aalborg to attend the software engineering program at Aalborg University so that what I do now.
Work: currently unemployed, so if you know a place with a position for a backend student developer I would be really happy 

Grow up iditos

Funny caption?
Well it is a cover for a subject which annoys me a lot.
It seems like lately people in the hardware industry, seems more interested in ranting on others products instead of developing some awesome projects themselves. 
Why would Microsoft compare a Surfaces to an iPad, or Samsung comparing a Nexus Note to a smartphone and yes the iPhone colour are coloured - and not just compare but trying to completely destroying the other product?
I think a Surfaces is for another user group than an iPad, so why the need for a comparison? in the end a Surfaces is to me not a tablet and Nexus Note why compare a tablet to phone?
It seems to me like the manufactures has lost it, they should be learning from each other not steal nor blame
know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss

Seriously start to use some more time developing and create awesome stuff, like you already do. This is to all of you: Apple, Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung and so on. 

Software Engineering at University of Aalborg #2

The different courses so far

As a part of the software engineering program, one will undertake approximately 3 courses per semester. And since I am currently on the first semester I will talk about the three I currently are following.

Imperative Programming 

Is programming course, where you will be taught the principles of imperative programming and simple algorithms and basic structures in programming. The language in which the taught skills are utilised is ANSI C.
C grands the students a basic understanding of what programming, with out the need to learn more advance thermos like Object Oriented design.
Later in this course we will also be taught basic data structures.
For me this course is a bit boring since it is more a welcome home course - Since I have been coding for a long time. 

Linear Algebra - A matrix approach 

At AAU Linear Algebra is a must have course, which teach you the principals of Linear Algebra, with basis in matrix and the utilisation of these 

Problem-based learning in science

is a course which introduce the students to the way of teaching, which is the foundation of the science educations at AAU.
Under this course students will also be taught how to write a scientific report at utilise it and work in teams.
