Through this class, I was able to gain a much more realistic perspective on how programming can be applied in a software development career.
One of the most useful takeaways was the introduction to the agile development process. Because this process is so widely used in the industry, having a strong basic understanding of the workflow will undoubtedly be very useful in my career.
I was also introduced to some basic web development tools and database related processes, both of which are also frequently used on the technical side in the software development industry. Having these new technical skills will elevate my programming capabilities to be able to accomplish more advanced tasks.
