i’ve chosen to name my blog gran viaje, which is spanish for grand voyage. was feeling particularly adventurous when i created the blog.
i think cs3216 is gonna be like a voyage. you kinda know the general direction what you're going towards, but you're basically heading into the uncharted waters. there will be no shortage of adventure, blood, sweat, tears and joy.

the funny thing is, i don't exactly know what i want to learn from this course. i mean, sure, there is going to be no shortage of hard web development skills, teamwork etc etc, what i truly desire is the experience of the unknown.

its just like what was said in the talk by tina seeling. there's no way of teaching things like creativity and entrepreneurship in a strictly classroom setting. we have to get our hands dirty. i love getting my hand dirty :)

so, i cant come up with a WHAT WILL I LEARN FROM CS3216 list, but i am hungry for the gran viaje that awaits me.
