CGP 2008-2009


So there goes one of the best academic years of my life.

That's a whole year of uni gone and it only seems like I have been here a little while. It went very fast and i enjoyed every minute of it.
Last night we went out and when to Mosh, who should we meet there but our lecturers!
So we rocked and moshed out with the coolest lectures in the world, it was the perfect end to the year.

So what can i tell you about the first year of the course education wise?

First of all ill go about telling you what you need to get through the 1st year.
In terms of prior education you could do with having programmed a bit before but if you are willing to put in the effort then it is possible without.
You need to either know maths to a A level standard or have the brain to learn up to that standard very fast.
The other things you need are dedication and above all, a love for programming.

The modules we had this year on the most part were relevant and very interesting. While i think The computing environment was a waste of my time, the rest of the module were very well taught.

The university itself is a very nice place to be...inside the building of course. Looks horrible from the outside but that's slowly changing because they are cladding the building in solar panels.
The atrium is a nice place to be in as its lively and full of event, market stalls and places to eat. The SU bar is good for a drink in the day although i wouldn't advise going there for the night events after freshers week because it will just be you and the tumbleweed.

Im looking forward to next year, im sure ill be blogging about what i am up to over summer too. Will be fun.

I will be posting some of my work up here over the next few days, need to reprogram some controls stuff so you guys can play with your keyboards then ill post.
