Career Path Planning

 Career Specialties, Mastering, and Certifications

How do you know what to pick without any experience? Shooting in the blind for a career path to invest in is not typically guaranteed for a successful adventure. Here is a list of some things I have learned along the way for a Software Developer Program associates degree with NWTC that you might find useful if you have no expectations or experience:

                                                                                                                              Co-Pilot Image. 2024.

1. Make sure you decide to stick with a program within one institution/university setting. They have curriculum that is customized based on your instructors ability to teach the material. It is a difficult thing to do, this program keeps changing and they have to maintain job security principles with your education. 

2. Invest in a hobby related to building your IT interest and skills. This could be reading documents of types of software platforms (architecture/networking), software programming (software developer/front-end and back-end or fullstack), linux books for ethical hacking (cybersecurity), or the history of programming (engineering fundamentals). 

3. Before you start, prepare a space that you plan on filling with your personalized notes and programs made with each course by developing your own templates and guide to become a tutor. It's a great way to reiterate the course and learn how to talk tech with other peers. 

4. Coinciding with the tutor approach in organizing books, programs, and notes - also develop a discipline in your file system. Every instructor does do it differently, it does give you a variety of filing types and ways to think in organizing modularly. Start with a basic structure and delve in within each course in their requirements. Note it. 

5. Never take more course load than you can handle. Dropping your cumulative GPA can extinguish your dreams of graduating in the program if you fall below the median. It is possible to re-take your courses for higher grades, however, so not all is lost!

6. If you are an adult learner, prepare for a young crowd. They are very equipped and trendy. They are patient and feel out of place when they have to correct an older programmer, but are capable of awesome work and guidance. It is a maturing learning environment and not to unlist them as a source for potential help. 

7. If you have work experience with an outdated degree, that experience is very useful in the educational setting. Use it wisely and pick your moments to shine. Don't sink in when you realize your work experience is outdated, your work experience is still useful. It is a good idea to share with your instructor/professor to see their experience and compare. They will have a basic path to adjust easily with the new technology you're learning now. 

8. When learning about specialty fields within your program, adjust and research other successful candidates. What types of programming languages they prefer to work with and why. What really helps are looking at the job postings of a desired position and look at the requirements. 

9. I had a hard time envisioning what the internet was (lame and old, I know) but was it an empty vast space we sent numbers in? How was everything connected? (After some extra time in other courses learning digital logic...) The questions began over again about why serial and parallel wiring was necessary in digital logic (duh, because binary is a compiler for machines since they don't work with regular English, Spanish, etc.). I still don't have a clear image in my mind, which is good for what I need it for, but that's why - keeping the possibilities open as a developer creates the framework/architecture you need and may have an investment in. Constantly looking for new solutions is key. 

10. If you can create a website to portfolio throughout the process that would be the best option to transform with your digital marketing in freelance jobs and designs. This is a constant project but worth it. Learn about servers, FTP services (FileZilla), digital marketing, website design (html5/css/javascript) in the beginning stages of your learning experience to get that going and maintain throughout. 

One thing I understand (unknowingly learned) is that technology is still new and developing. Your thinking is valuable in the sense that it solves what it can based on your own calculations. Consider the keywords they use, what is being asked to consider in regards to space and time (asynchronous), and realize we are going to be able to create any environment we want to work in with programming. It has not been configured yet, so if you work on extra hobbies of explaining how the internet (at the very least) is in your main tool base - you might want to be able to explain in your own understanding how it fits in yours. The more you remain in control the higher your level of position can become (at an early stage this is crucial to the attitudes needed for developing managerial staff).

JavaScript Just Started....

 JavaScript has been feared up until this point. 

Now imagine, running into script jots of javaScript in other programming commodity bags of goodies to allow features to help you shine beyond others and not understand what this snippet of code is actually doing. 

Now, the web browser tools, development tools in Inspect totally make sense! I have been waiting for this moment to understand how to be effective with reviewing websites and maintaining the websites I do have under the rug - and enjoy the start of this course so far. 

I am in a client-side scripting course with NWTC. I have been struggling with so many medical issues as of recently that getting the mentality and volition to do the work has been the most difficult thing I have ever done! I have done some extreme tasks in good and bad opportunities by just wanting the experience of how to maintain my life that going through these last couple of weeks has brought me to a point that I know I have to not take any Summer courses that affect my cumulative GPA. 

Remember to only take courses that you know you can pass, are ready for, and can commit to. That Cumulative GPA is so important for funding and program requirements!!

So, JavaScript is essentially like other programming languages because they are intended to work together. However, using JavaScript you are able to overwrite with authority what is revealed or used in certain code blocks that help with update and maintaining the website (for example). A couple of things I enjoyed were the resources provided in class - using MDN (Mozilla Developer Network) documentation. I very much enjoyed this part because I wanted to get into a course with documentation writing, a technical writing for computer programs and software to post online for any body to peruse and use with example and user-friendly language. The professional point about it, is if I am going to be a software developer, I need to know how to write this and that includes goals in patent writing which includes over 50 pages of code, which I want to include documentation writing. 

Other things I enjoyed so far (only two weeks into this course so far), is the material for it has gotten much improved. Color coding and the thinking on paper has improved. Big text, little text separations help us visually separate the concepts, tools, code and remember it. I would listen to podcasts anticipating and dreading this course about how difficult and undesirable it was - but how many people use it on the web! I timidly opened my book and so much relief brushed over me to see that it is a modern, hipster, book that I can carry in my purse and easily navigate the chapters.

Learning Backups before Recovery

 What is your personal backup policy?

Currently, I have none! I haven't really done the etiquette of backing up data to disk, flash, or url but have endured the automatic reliability of surprise, which is nice. I learn about organizational policies in my Advanced SQL course with NWTC now and realize that I have not made a personal policy to register with myself. I save to flash, but the data I output now isn't what I would have thought would be important. 

1. Think of the time invested in creating data. Writing blog, learning from it, adjusting for future use in curriculum or teaching material in mentorship. 

2. Creating artwork in literature. 

3. Valuing data like a future bank note, whatever it may be, to pass down into generational information. The first generation with technology such as this, what happened? 

4. Value it. I did not value technology with the original teachings I had and spent my early years in development for building a home skill set. I believed technology was great but never had the inquisitive sense to ponder how it was made or to be part of that occupational dream. 

The only key in the city and the city applauded the only key made

During a time of information buzz and personal branding, keys are scarce where people know not of valuable data. It absorbs time and investment is made with connection (social media, blog) in networking - however, I believe we are not doing it the correct way to truly be successful. Most do not start at wanting to be successful, in content, in platform presentation, and in history-making. If we changed our mentality for these values to persist, we would be investing in a changed lifestyle to provide example that can be relied upon for many years after. 

The resources online are abundant, how-to, instructional videos are the next guarantee for fame. The option to also invest monetarily. I have done it and enjoyed the feeling knowing that I invested in the service for it to continue. What I believe to be the best recruitment for creativity and personal relations officers of 'dumbing it down for us since you just now understood that concept as well' types. People put it online and hit or miss, end up enjoying being able to do such a thing. Possibly the first and only in its category!

Backups are required knowledge in technology.

"Huh?" said the Robot.                                                                             Co-Pilot Generated Image. 2024.

Recovery are required knowledge in technology. 

Anything you do after, you will have personal policy with your own equipment, the knowledge for conversating on how you save data and what else you learned in a bigger scope, and what you plan on doing for creating more data in the future to maintain. Is it worth it? Everything online costs money, investment, partnership, and will include how to bypass or work with data governance, bot crawls, and supported server compliance to name a few. 

Personal Policy Making

When I have time, I own an EIN currently with a Religious entity and I want to create data logs on different aspects for future collections. I am going to develop a traveling marathon (which is so difficult, needing to work with county, tribal, municipalities of all sizes and each having their own process, paperwork, contacts, jurisdictions) to generate revenue. This requires a business plan, license, insurance, and the budget to contract services for the event. Paying taxes and the write-offs for it need to be documented and that means keeping those records for atleast 7 years. Everything this religious organization is involved with needs to be backed up with a recovery plan. 

This is the start of knowing and valuing data to maintain. I can put this down in my resume as a Director for Tsha Tewahsana to relish in the times when project management was learned on the fly. I believe that nobody really expects this type of work to need an IT degree and when you possess the beginning credentials to merit future opportunity and potential with the organization, great things can happen.

ASP.NET - Notes on preparing the project!

ASP.NET is such a wonderful tool, don't you think?

Designing a webpage with html5 alone is a classic learning environment and spark of interest with CSS styling and grouping your own templates for future purposes. What ASP.NET is doing, provides multiple dev tools and languages like C#, SQL, Html5, and loosely coupling modules to remain integral components to repair/modify. 

Notes: 

1. Working with Visual Studio C# projects, remember to create two projects for default values as you work and backup all data/work when progressing. Create good comments, explaining what does what and especially the routing configurations that you may encounter. If you find extra peices of information, note it and comment it out like an option for later purposes. 

2. Understand the model process and what it does, in and out. The model possesses classes or html? Write the notes based on the extensions - and learn what type of content goes within the model... create a process of example to envision what is happening (it is very easy to get lost in the code of what is needed on other pages once you code anywhere in your project. That may need to be referenced twice in different locations!)

3. Put things in places, give yourself an extra amount of time to explore and see how the code is reacting to you. Use the intellisense, heavily advised!

4. Find a structure and stick with it. I learned that there are a couple of different ways to complete a project but you have to stick with the theme for the code's sake. Lambda expression's being used work well with certain compiling factors that ensue programmability to remain configured together... staying simple or working with complex designs need their levels of unitfying languages. If you can differentiate these styles, your off to a better position to scan through the multiple styles of languages being used here. 

5. Never open a database twice in one project, you open that up... stick with it. It remains open as a database object regardless (if you just deleted it from the solution explorer)... unless you can drop the table from within, how to actually delete from a project (I have not learned this yet!). 

6.  I always advise when learning and you get those halting moments, wanting to speed through or to work on a project at a consistent sewing machine running stitch pace (you know what you are doing and you do it well) - have one of these to do on your breaks. The output is so relieving and satisfying during these halting momentous paces. 

7. Listen to podcasts about ASP.NET. They provide insight, create an excitement, and you get to hear the humanistic approach on describing what your working with. You relate to it. Its fun.

8. Just keep at it. I am working with an 8 week course and struggling hard with it. I have accepted failure and am working on getting a headstart the next time I attempt this course. All the information you collect now will be worth it the next time, like a pro! If I pass, great, then I just have a good instructor who can manage my pace in a virtual class and can help me more than I could help myself! **I am totally looking for a 16 week course to better understand the material! (Reminder: 8 Week Courses are brutal on the less experienced!)

I got so excited about the website when it was first brought up. First time in Visual Studio without the GUI and I was amazed! It is so fun! The template they guide you in is a good learning environment, provides you with an in-depth development guidance and such a great push to future work using ASP.NET. Truly, greatful to be learning this material! 

What I'm really excited for is pulling off this course and continuing personal projects using it. What else can be done? So many tools that go untouched and the in-depth capabilities it is primed for. How interesting!

Machine Learning algorithms - Where am I in this?

 Machine Learning algorithms

Presenting the 21st century, the 13th Baktun, the 2nd Calendric Lunar Phase, the day's events a grand and marvelous appearance of technologic contact before another human being - where is the algorithm in this day for me? Why do Machine's know to learn this before I could?

If you haven't noticed how advanced machines, technology, operating systems and its hardware are becoming - we cannot keep up as humans. The stuff to learn, the distraction, the discipline we have to try for, the extra curricular activities that advance us socially, the daily tasks that bring us into our rhythmic natures. Where do we pick up learning algorithmic nature for our daily tasks to suggest an advancement in our IT Positions?

The captivated attention we admire from hours of service and duty with job titles no longer with us are also in defeat. How do we utilize our time on Earth and when is it mandatory for our directed choices to become effective? Let alone invest in business, what about education, family (can we pick our family yet?) and the core curriculum that provides us with what our Country needs - real skill, drive, and talent for positions that are undoubtedly going to set our ranking positions in the world at some point. Why not? If you can live like a robot, your work should survive you so other robotic algorithms can exist beyond paper and pencil. 

Sketching Is More Freer Than A Constitutional Right

If it isn't for the written law and obeying the law to avoid consequences, we have a great opportunity to involve our livelihood, our work, our time into something that is freed for definition in any opportunity. Thing is, those that have made it this far with the multiple STEM productions and investments (before it was STEM), are able to categorize and provide tools for this service online. Which is a head guide direction for what they are building - which is the governance, currency, and disciplinary actions to be affected upon certain levels of access and logical cues. It is small-time yet. In what I am expecting it to be...

If you can develop a real skill and casually improve your stance in the world by creating sketches of ideas to build online, in engineering research, or wherever you can fit with your ideas - wouldn't you want to know that you have the real opportunity to be the legacy for your descendants after? 

Considering, the IT family is just beginning, sprouting with a couple generations in their wingspan, they are barely lifted off the ground and can still have discussions with their pioneer! This is the future of America. This is the future of the World. This is the future of our known Universe. Literally. That big. 

So... what is your machine learning algorithm and where are you in this? 

Mine? 

Obviously, its NABM. I envision multiple factors that are not available yet coming within my grasp before it can hit virtual reality and I am alleviated to understand how lucky I am to be alive. To learn. To be different.

Northeast Wisconsin - Technical Resource Group: An IT Atmosphere for the Indigenous Community

 NEW-TRG 

On Wednesdays starting February 14, 2024 - from 10AM to 1PM - NEW-TRG will presume meeting at the Oneida Career Education Center located on Packerland Drive in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Check in with staff upon entrance and find your way to the "Big Classroom" in the back. If you go to www.NativeTRG.blogspot.com -- there is a video showing where to go if you are new!

Reading the blog, there have been some interesting topics to catch interest. So far, none. But I cannot stop. One of the issues in the community is changing the attitude of future interest groups and how to be of value to the community without being invested in cultural activities or youth groups. I began this group to locate more coders, programmers, developers, or just people interested in IT topics in my community. I wanted a place to gather as friends, to eat and chill and talk about the latest dev news or to help each other on projects. Having a community like this takes time to develop in mutual understanding and levels of education. If we had side projects to help maintain working relationships that could also impact the community like digital marketing, software licensing, or writing our own programs - we would be improving overall morale for future working partnerships. 

It is the start of a beautiful plan and one I intend to persist with. I have looked into the possibility of research grants to develop new programming potential studies and constantly thinking of what to invest with in the community that will not affect my personal work. I have a copyright that I want to pursue in curriculum with NABM (www.nabm.info) but do not want to "share" those rights from development after. It is not a topic that is open or talked about in development. Most of any development is open-source because everybody wants their platforms, software, programs, hardware, licenses to be used and honored online. Especially since the virtual currency is still being developed. Who is going to create that solid ground online and capitalize into a prepared future of business strategies that may mislead from the initial intentions... har har har (old ways stay young at heart in the root of all evil... which is unfair to development and the speed of it that we falter into reworked patterns to see us never change). 

What is the Native American perspective? 

What do you want to know about the IT Field and do you understand where we are in competitive revenues, Rights, and access? It is constantly changing and with our discipline, very slowly. We are in competition with world leaders in technological innovations and for an American perspective - we need to see something new and progressive with our endeavors. 

This is a big thing happening and most of it is new. Realizing this, I feel like we can invest in ourselves and help our country to support our stance as we always have in what we believe can be done. We just have to figure out what that is! 

So, please, stay informed. Ask questions. Be interested. Talk to your children, relatives of all ages, and yourself on an IT Topic with an Indigenous perspective on how to solve it. How to have an opinion on it. 

One thing I would advise is begin grooming leaders as early as possible. They have to know many vantage points in almost every component of business, communication, education, technology, marketing, and health. All core services we provide as a Nation, we need the leadership role to continue with. The mainstream effects, crime (defensive or not), income (neighborhood violence), mate (emotional health), and knowing how other people are developing in these conditions create a crowd to follow, believe, and push their support systems further for political gains. These aren't always successful agendas, but because they are in need and can gather, create an impact. When we have so many that are unable to thrive in an IT environment because they struggle with conditional interference on personal choices, it is a sign of failure in our teachings as a community. We have to change something within our public interest groups to create more progress. I love the healing circles and support groups for our people but it's also detrimental to their time, energy, and own well-being. Let's let them move on and invest in something besides healing others from their own personal experiences of failure. We need more success stories and healthy choices in those pre-mentioned conditions (mainstream, crime, poverty, etc.).

We could very well lose a leader in those pre-mentioned conditions! We groom them now, we are gearing our tribal perspective to persist a societal shift to thrive in future projections that others may want to emulate. We have to have a plan for health. The data is there - now we have to use it by changing our policies to reflect our people's best interests and force a standard for the betterment of all. 

Give us the option. Sign up for the intervention in life coaching, mentorship programs, extra-curricular check-ins and career driven opportunities to form the leadership groups as soon as possible. Create the standard and expect great things from them in all conditions. They can't be secluded and expect to thrive in a competitive environment with diverse interactions. Expect the worst.

Colonialism Effects and Computer Programming

 I read blogs, articles, and watch youtube channels on programmers as they reconfigure their learning environment as the topic of "What I would change or learn first" arrives. How they would learn the programming language first doesn't usually help my style of learning. If you are completely new, learn digital logic or just logical theories in general before delving into any programming language. This is algebra, problem solving skills with truth tables, and understanding syntax structure is a big key to success. 

Learning what first? 

I did a blog on zero concepts and the history of zero books. The reading is light and interesting. It conflicts with modern day zero and how it is envisioned for global usage. Every culture interpreted a zero concept - basically nothing or a hub of placed connection - from lack of proof or discontinued knowledge. They had to reveal it again in rediscovery, what zero was. The infitesimal had peaked origination of tangible weights and measures which took microscopic phenomena into calculus, trigonometry, and quantum mechanical engineering. The biological factors reconvened and disgruntled the zero concepts of how things came to be. This is generalized, of course, but for the main societal impact of core education, we observe our mathematical genius through the tangible one, the addition of one, and the truth of object as one entity which range in size. Things exist.  

The philosophy in programming is entirely made of who designed the language and branched from an available program that was modified with the Software Development working atmosphere. I understand software development to mean a study of domain with all inputs and outputs to reconfigure the next tool sets. If data governance is in the midst of being organized, I would like to organize the domain space to prepare for machine learning using binary domains that machine use as tools to interpret with their algorithms from an interface interaction with software language/development models to create the hierarchy and platform models we will be building upon. This means a space for this type of (NABM) binary to study and create within a closed domain to continuously build and develop with machine. I figure we will be separate in the future and will want to know the difference of who did what and why while being monitored for further progress. We may think we are progressing in an open-source community with multiple avenues of freedom, but without monitoring progress, how are we to progress as a profession?

From what I read, developers before me were inspired by their speaking and writing languages of the world. We are restricted in what is already there for us. The knowledge that we possess is being referenced, hence, the importance of digging up old knowledge and concepts to re-use and revive with technological languages. It gives a sense of boost within the lineage of those cultures and beliefs to be of usefulness now. The world has been introduced to many different environmental teachers and spiritual beliefs that connected a generational survivalism and since most of it has perished the world - studying these ancient engineering breakthroughs provides us a touch of ground to spread a base of missing links that we use to bridge cyberspace architectural laws. 

I see the pace that we believe people are learning how to program and want to keep up. Don't rush yourself. Research terminology, know where it comes from, ask questions and consider the influential history guiding the language you are learning. What cultural ground are you stepping into and understand that these languages do have origins. In cultural barriers, it forces you to learn and respect how much work and effort is put into these concepts to move and shape our future. They stay alive because they never let it die. They are constantly using it and enforcing its use to deal with their resources, their intellect, their history as a people of intelligence. Redefining what was and using it with technology is an innovative revitalization. Indigenous people have yet more to climb through to stay afloat in the future!

We don't have time to waste on the colonization period or the transition of documented opinions. It has always been embedded within, you just have to use it. Your perspective is beginning to change because of the modern world. The more distance that grows between you and what was lived and survived as the connection grows weak. BUT! Look at the revitalization of global dead cultures and how they are being used today to retranslate what was always there in any breakthrough. Check your zero references because those weren't there before colonization. It was after! Now that they know it was amongst our land base, they search for it in theirs. Is this true? It could or couldn't be, any small voyage or explorer would not state the truth for being forgotten in those documented histories. It was always there. Why push it into the sea turned ocean to discover away from home? Stay here with your discoveries!

If we die, what will be revived? What will be connected to some of the American descendants? What will they do with it? How will it help the future of the world? 

That's when we ask - where do we start? 

That's when we see others say where they would start... 

Our minds never develop actual cyberspace or contend with zero concepts in binary languages which deal with machine learning and development. We lack the interface to communicate with a new meta-science of virtual reality and begin to create an egotistical cultural remake without fully integrating new concepts (for never having new concepts and blindly building on top of the last save point and expecting everyone to be at that level).
