I haven’t exactly written much about this, but I got in. The last weeks have been filled with an introduction to programming, using Javascript as the programming language of choice to teach the basics of object oriented programming.

Nothing unknown to me, in other words. I’ve never done much with Javascript (or ECMA 262/ECMAscript, if you prefer), but we have barely touched any advanced topics yet. Today was a walkthrough of a menu dropdown DHTML script, which at least was somewhat interesting.

Tomorrow some guy from Microsoft will be holding a lecture; subject as of yet unknown.

35 weeks (roughly one third of the education) will be “LIA” — “Lärande I Arbete,” or “Learning In Work,” the school’s name for practical vocational training at an actual company, where we will do Real Stuff for the Real World.

We’re not paid for it, of course. Did you have to ask?

The first LIA period is from February to April. I’ve started looking at LIA reports from earlier students in search of an interesting company.
