Internship 2021 21 October 2021

Our first week of programming.

In our fourth week, we faced some giants of Computer Science like, data structures, algorithms & compilers.

Intern @ Core Illustrio

The scope and space for research and learning in Core illustrio was increasing day by day. The perspective of understanding the field of Software, took a dimensional shift and we are learning new things in a completely different model. The starting day mental oscillation between is it possible for us to learn programming or not is now no-more. We have started beliving in this process of learning. The mentorship program has given us a superpower that, whatsoever be the complex program, we have a method to solve it. The only thing we need to do follow was the methodology we had learnt from the past four week of mentorship.

We have come a long way from just the basics of naming out skills to where each skill we named out the first day is being implemented. A stage from where programming and software were just a dream to a stage where we know how to develop a data structure and know how to write algorithm for every problem of life. The journey throughout was properly organized, structured and hence, unforgettable.

This week Data structure was introduced and taught. Even though data structure was felt just to be just a technical term, the way we studied was different. As groups, we were asked to structure the data of tables, meeting rooms and library. This gave us an easy understanding of data structure from a simple perspective.

he data structure led us to the concepts such as syntax, objects, arryas and a lot more. The definition and examples of these concepts made it more interesting. Its order and rules to be maintained gives us an idea of what each section is composed off and what is the role of each section individually as well as in a whole concept.

A look back into the session shows how this divison of the rules and terminology is related to the language session we had. The rule of how does a language work and how application of rules in language made the difference just like the structural rules in programming language. We once more got reminded about the fascinating structure of the mentorship, which was arranged in such a way that everything is related to each other and everything serves a purpose for all concepts yet to come.

Coding was first introduced after four weeks of mentorship. The language used to explain to us was Javascript. We started using the basic command and arithmetics operation that is related to normal examples and sums. This incresed the chance of us relating to it more mathematically and logically and thus following the system inorder to code.

Whenever a new code or problem was given to be solve, we automatically went back to the basics of what we have learnt till now. We wrote down the problem, listed out the constarins, analyzed all the possible set of operation and then we found a solution. We then started structuring data for the same. Once the algorithm was ready we then started putting together those programming words in a computer-understandable language and then started coding. Each time we solved a problem, we reached a new checkpoint of new concept.

The programming world is a lot more easilyn approachable than we expected it be long ago. the reason why we were scared was probably because of the way we perceived developing of softwares. The way we perceived it long ago was in a way that Once knowing programming language is the only that is required. But today we are coding even without even knowing the professional language of coding. The only thing that made this change in us is the confident way we face the problem, how we figure it out and how we arrange all the possible outcomes and then using a certain set of rules make the computer understand the logic.

Happily a long way from what we what thought to what we have learnt.

The place where we were learning has been growing each day and achieving lot more of things during this phase. Surfboard payments was moving into the next stage of their growth. The team and office enjoyed each moment of their growth. They were a community, in which a single persons was achievement was celebrated as everyones achievement and that always gave of sense of unity and belief in each other. World of Surfboard payments is growing each day, just like the knowledge we gain every day.

The Sports night was much funnier this time. Due to rain power supply was unavailabe. We were playing in the darkness. The game was still felt funnier and interactive. Its then we realised that the people around us plays an irreplaceable role even when the whole thing around is not favourable. They smile and laughs on each ones face gave us enough light even to see through the darkness. This difference in our attitude towards the games night didn’t come from anything else but what people around here as a whole believe in and what they act upon. We came here to learning the world of software, but what we achieved was much more than any software company or internship can offer. A start-up culture, an attitude towards life and a community which shares common goal and know what to achieve in their life. Nothing more than 'just a perfect place to learn and grow' would define Surfboard payments and Core Illusstrio.
