In my very first week at Tong Hin Company, I was thrilled to finally join the team, and my eagerness to gain knowledge was at its peak. On the first day, I was given a task by Mr Peter to learn and understand Git, which is a powerful, sophisticated system for distributed version control. Gaining an understanding of its features opens to developers a new and liberating approach to source code management.
The second day, my next task here was to learn C#. I had some prior knowledge of programming languages. However, I had never learnt the C# language and I thought C# was a really interesting one. C# is a popular programming language developed by Microsoft, and it’s widely used for developing software apps and games for Windows and many more. Although my previous experience with other programming languages made it easy for me to understand the fundamentals, getting a hang of C# still took a lot of effort.
I spent hours at the online course sessions, understanding the logic behind syntaxes and understanding the structures of C# and I learnt that C# is an object-oriented programming language, and as such, its programming model is based on classes and objects. I also learnt about how to create classes, objects, and methods, and how to use them to achieve their programming goals. As a developers, you can’t just understand C# in theory, so I also spent time experimenting through the language in the Microsoft Visual Studio. However, there’s still much more that needs to be learnt and practiced so that I can master the understanding. The first few days were challenging, but I didn’t let the difficulties of learning discourage me.
In conclusion, my first week at TongHin was a fascinating and educational experience. I was able to learn the basics of C# programming language. Though there’s still a lot more to learn, I’m excited to learn more and improve my understanding of how to build software applications efficiently and also to expand my skill set continually.
