Scene 3 (23s)
Tell me, what is your job title and what are your job duties?.
Scene 4 (1m 1s)
[Audio] I went to lasalle. Where did you go to school?.
Scene 5 (1m 9s)
[Audio] For me, it's a bit of both. Education laid down the foundational understanding of programming concepts, algorithms, and languages. However, experience has been equally vital—it's where I got to apply that knowledge practically, troubleshoot real issues, learn from mistakes, and adapt to evolving technologies. Education provided the base, but experience helped me refine and deepen my skills. Both are incredibly valuable in their own right!.
Scene 6 (1m 42s)
[Audio] One of the best things about programming is the constant challenge and opportunity for creativity. Every project brings unique problems to solve, requiring innovative thinking and problem-solving skills. There's always something new to learn, whether it's a new language, framework, or approach to tackling a problem. Plus, seeing lines of code translate into functional, impactful solutions is incredibly rewarding..
Scene 7 (2m 12s)
[Audio] My long-term career goals revolve around continuous growth and contribution. I aim to stay updated with emerging technologies, deepen my expertise in certain areas (like AI or cybersecurity), and potentially explore leadership roles where I can guide and mentor others in the field. I also aspire to contribute to innovative projects that have a positive impact on society, leveraging technology to solve meaningful problems..
Scene 8 (2m 40s)
[Audio] Absolutely! In the programming world, some key skills make a huge difference: Problem-solving: It's like being a detective, breaking down big problems into smaller bits and figuring out how to solve each piece. Coding languages: Like speaking different languages, but for computers—knowing the right ones for the job, like Python, JavaScript, or Java..
Scene 9 (3m 10s)
[Audio] Improving your career prospects in computer programming involves a mix of technical skill development, networking, and staying updated with industry trends..
Scene 10 (3m 20s)

Scene 11 (3m 42s)
[Audio] If I had to pick just one, it would be Ada Lovelace. Her vision and foresight in understanding the potential of computers and her pioneering work in the 19th century laid the groundwork for modern computer programming. Despite the limitations of her time, she envisioned the possibilities of computers beyond mere calculation machines, anticipating concepts like algorithms and software—a truly inspirational figure in the history of programming..
