It was another exciting day at SAS. In addition to Max, an associate developer that we met yesterday, we met with Jerry Holland and Scott today to learn more about how they got to where they are today. Scott first got interested in computer science when he got his first computer and his friends all wanted to make copies of game “illegally”. He then went to Purdue university and interned at many different software development companies to pay for his tuition. This gave him plenty of work experience. One of the things he mentioned was that he really loves computer science because it is forever changing and innovating. Some of the programming languages he learned in high school and college is almost completely obsolete now.
After the two meetings, we went to building A for lunch. After which, we drove around campus for a tour. It was really cool to see the various buildings and even a solar farm that powers some of Cary’s electricity. Another interesting thing was that in front of each building there is always a cool abstract art piece to complement the building. These two days with Mrs.Holland have been absolutely amazing. She has been a wonderful host.
