What does a soft­ware de­ve­lo­per ac­tual­ly do? We were able to ans­wer the­se and other ques­ti­ons for our new in­terns this week. From 21 to 24 May, they were able to go th­rough a va­ried pro­gram of va­rious IT ba­sics with us and ex­pe­ri­ence the day-to-day work at a lo­cal IT training com­pa­ny at first hand. As al­ways, the work­shop was su­per­vi­sed by us trai­nees and dual stu­dents. This is be­cau­se we can ans­wer both tech­ni­cal and per­so­nal ques­ti­ons about the con­tent, com­pa­ny and training and give the trai­nees a fee­ling of what it is like to be part of TecAlliance

Tra­di­tio­nal­ly, the work­shop be­gan with an en­ter­tai­ning com­pa­ny pre­sen­ta­ti­on and a tour of the site, du­ring which the in­terns had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to get to know their col­le­agues. This was fol­lo­wed by the ba­sics of web de­ve­lo­p­ment with HTML and CSS, fol­lo­wed by an in­tro­duc­tion to the pro­gramming lan­guage Py­thon. Fi­nal­ly, the work­shop su­per­vi­sors gave an in­tro­duc­tion to data ty­pes, loops and lists. In ad­di­ti­on to the theo­re­ti­cal ba­sics, the­re were of cour­se also num­e­rous prac­ti­cal exer­ci­s­es and ex­amp­les that en­ab­led the par­ti­ci­pan­ts to ap­p­ly the know­ledge they had lear­ned di­rect­ly and comprehensively.

We are plea­sed that we were able to pass on our know­ledge and ex­pe­ri­ence to our trai­nees and wish them all the best for the fu­ture. Per­haps one or two of them will start their training or stu­dies with us at TecAlliance in September.
