New Language: Python

Last week I decided to delve into the world of Python.

After my Placement Year, i will be starting my Final Year Project. 

My project will be software based and i want to use Python for it. So i thought id start learning now!

I couldnt help myself so i started on the FYP as i was learning. I think it was actually much easier learning the language with an actual objective rather than going through tutorials to learn little bits at a time. 

Not sure how much I want to put on here about the FYP i have in mind at the moment as id rather not have it copied!

I Have Started My New Job!

I am now a Junior Cyber Security Engineer for a well respected firm in the West Midlands.

My first day was yesterday which involved the usual; setting up email, setting up the new laptop, getting to know the clients that are on the books etc etc.

Tomorrow I am off to Manchester to attend a Cisco Security Workshop!

I will be using this blog to keep track of all the things i will be doing over the next year because at the end of it, i have to write an essay about it so it will be useful for remembering things!

PS. I hate setting up new computers to get them to exactly how you want them!

Placement Year

Pretext: I have mentioned about doing another couple of posts about the work ive been doing over the past month, but I havent gotten around to it with deadlines and stuff. Ill sort them out soon...


I seem to have forgotten to post about my Placement Year.
At my university, i do 2 years, then a "Year in Industry" and then go back for my final year.

I thought I had sorted this before Christmas, but one thing led to another and it didnt pan out!
I kind of pre-empted the first placement falling through, so i started looking for another.

I found one!
