On our 12th week we discussed PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES!!!!!!
the more language you know the better, the more they will hire you.....
There are different knids of languages:
Java
Cobol
C
C++
.Net
Web Languages
It is said that the next language that will be released is F. Why F??
The first starts with A, B, C, C++, C# and F.. the C++ is considered as D, and the C# is considered as E....
Sir Oli said that we need to learn those languages, maybe not all, but mostly. But they are easy to learn because somehow they are the same with each other, will only make few changes....
On that same week, S13 performed a dance showdown. It is punishment for having a -30.. HAHAH.... Everybody had a great time laughing with one another. And some really showed their talent for dancing. It was really fun!!!
