Who is Shawn Wright? For decades that question has been asking, but the complexity to the answer is beyond the normal human comprehension. The simplest way to answer is to say that he's just another human being that's destined to be great. I'm currently an educator who has never seen himself impacting the minds of today's teen but has reach to the realization that this is the journey I had to take in life. Teaching has become a passion for me, but my first and true love is the electronics. It was through electronics I have been introduced to computing. The whole idea of writing some lines of code to control some mechanical instrument with electrical signals is fascinating. So, my fascination as led me to want to learn and manipulate the languages used in coding.
This course I know will be an asset with the help of my personal development to be a developer.

Good day everyone my name is Daniel Dixon I am not currently working in the IT industry. However, I am equipping myself by pursuing a  degree in Information Communication Technology. We are living in world that is ever evolving and with the aid of technology we are able to do thing a bit easier and faster. This is call the internet of things, where everything is technology or IP base and this is what I want to be apart of, whether to create a website, write a program or to become a networking engineer. So how will the course benefit me in the future. Every company needs a website not only to advertise their business and product but to run some kind of application on their website, whether its a data base to keep track of customers and goods or allowing customers to be able to login so that they can do some sought of action on the website. So in learning Applied Web this can give me an advantage of getting into the industry and making a deference in the workplace or as a self employed person. I know it won't be easy but I am up for the challenge .

Hello everyone, I am Anthony Lawrence. I am a truly simple person so there is not much to say, but my aim in life is to escape the "rat race" and become an investor and owner of businesses (not falling for the MLM traps though). Since $career = $profession = "job"; this course doesn't help me with my career pursuits; but my pursuit of financial well being. I will be well on the way when I start providing "jobs" for other persons. In the present economy, persons are looking for different ways to make money, whether to make themselves rich or just to make ends meet (or in my case: to make the world a better place + financial independence). These persons turn to farming, retailing etc etc but since this the Information Age and IT will be relevant for the foreseeable future, I turned to IT to achieve my aims. Hence, this course is truly relevant.
