It's been some time since I've updated the blog with my software development news. It's been a busy two months filled with Java exams, web building, work project deliverables and milestones and a sense of impending doom at the THREE 4 hour exams that I have to sit this week.

That being said, I still like to take the time to discuss some of the interesting things that I've been reading and watching lately. So in this article I will quickly discuss and link to videos across the interwebs that share some very cool ideas that I have encountered during my studies and work.

Uncle Bob's Clean Code

If you haven't heard of Uncle Bob then you need to watch his videos on Clean Code that can be found for free on YouTube. Robert Martin is a highly influential software programmer who was one of the original authors of the Agile manifesto (when it was designed for programmers before the project managers took over). He is known for promoting many different software programming principles, including the well known SOLID principle.

His lectures are fun but more importantly very important to learn.

The Halting Problem

With the development of such powerful computers you'd imagine that the pool of tasks that couldn't be completed by a program would either be small or shrinking. Well, it turns out that it has stayed relatively the same size (at least for the last 20 years). There are some algorithms, some procedures and predicates that cannot be solved by any computer, even supercomputers. One of the many problems that cannot be solved was proven so by Alan Turning. It is called the Halting Problem and it's quite interesting. The video below is a very brief introduction but sums it up nicely and skips all of the logic for those who just want the high level summary.

Razor Pages ( .Net)

I have been working as a web developer for 6 months now and during this time I've been so busy catching up with the current major project which requires very little code that we have yet to delve into any real web design. I've been dealing with small amounts of javascript here and there and designed the odd banner or two in CSS but I have mainly been working on service design and continual service improvement.

This month will see me start diving into the world of .Net from Microsoft. I've been beginning my scouring of their documentation and support sites (Microsoft actually provides good documentation that explains key concepts with very little fuss.) Below is a playlist of introductory lessons from Microsoft and a great starting place for anyone who wants to get into ASP.NET or .NET web developing.

I'm hoping that someone somwhere is interested in any of these videos, if you are let me know on twitter @alexheywood and I will get in touch and we can share resources!

Desperately trying to remind myself that its summer outside and that I should not spend all of my time coding / watching videos on coding.

Day 1: Created Hacker Rank account! (More details to come)

    I have a bad habit of overthinking things into the point of immobilization. For example with this blog, I spent sooo much time thinking about writing the ‘perfect’ introduction that it I kind of let it marinate dormantly in its unseasoned tumblr juices. So I finally decided to just write something. 

  My name is Brandon and I’m from Compton,CA. I’m currently finishing up my bachelors at Humboldt State. I majored in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy. There is a chance I might end up in a career field unrelated to my major, but it’s okay. Lately, I have been interested in technology and programming/coding. I’m sure there is way to combine the two.

  Since 2009, I have always been a tumblr / blog lurker. I admired how everyone created lil’ internet spaces to express themselves. A place for their thoughts, talents, hopes, dreams, and meme storage. I was always hesitant about creating a blog because I placed  some extra’d  out self-imposed rules on myself. I let myself get so overwhelmed with what I ‘thought’ I needed to do to have a blog and how my blog should look that I never I started one. But here I am now. 

  With this blog, I want try to focus on hamstrings and computer programming (and some data science). When I had my traumatic experience of pulling both my right and left hamstrings, (at different times throughout the preseason of track), I became intrigued by this particular group of muscles. With programming and data science, I was fascinated with the endless applications one could do with them.  I am currently teaching myself python with the help of the internet. So from my  experience with injured hamstrings and my interest in programming, I kinda created my focal points. 

I got off track and wasn’t as persistent. I’m reexamining how I’m doing this. I’m not sure what it will turn into.

Starting a career in the IT industry can feel confusing, especially with so many courses and institutes promising quick success. Students often struggle to find a place that offers not just knowledge, but real career guidance. This is where choosing the Best IT training institute in Kerala becomes an important decision—and for many learners, Edure has become that trusted choice.

Edure is a student-focused software training institute that helps learners build strong technical foundations, gain practical skills, and move confidently toward real job opportunities.

The Growing Need for Job-Oriented IT Training

The IT job market today is highly competitive. Employers no longer look only at degrees or certificates; they look for candidates who can apply skills in real-world situations. This shift has made job-oriented training essential for anyone entering the tech field.

As the Best IT training institute in Kerala for many aspiring professionals, Edure focuses on industry-relevant learning. Its courses are designed around current market demands, ensuring students gain skills that companies actually need.

Job-Oriented IT Courses That Match Industry Expectations

One of the biggest strengths of Edure is its range of job-oriented IT courses. Each program is structured to help students understand core concepts while also developing hands-on expertise.

The courses are built to:

Strengthen technical fundamentals

Introduce modern tools and technologies

Improve logical and problem-solving skills

Prepare students for real job roles

Instead of overwhelming learners with unnecessary theory, Edure keeps the focus on practical knowledge that supports long-term career growth. This approach makes it stand out as the Best IT training institute in Kerala for students who want results, not just certificates.

Practical Training That Builds Real Confidence

Many students complete IT courses but still feel unsure about facing interviews or working on live projects. Edure solves this problem through practical, hands-on training that reflects real industry scenarios.

Students learn through:

Live and simulated projects

Real-world case studies

Tool-based exercises

Industry-style workflows

This learning-by-doing approach helps students understand how concepts are applied in real work environments. By the end of the training, learners feel more confident, capable, and job-ready.

Placement Assistance That Supports Career Transitions

Training is only part of the journey. What truly matters is how well students move into the job market. Edure provides placement assistance to guide students through this crucial phase.

Placement support includes:

Resume preparation and refinement

Interview preparation and mock sessions

Career guidance from experienced mentors

Understanding employer expectations

Rather than offering unrealistic promises, Edure focuses on preparing students thoroughly so they can perform well when opportunities arise. This honest approach is one reason many students consider Edure the Best IT training institute in Kerala.

A Supportive Learning Environment for All Backgrounds

Not everyone joining an IT course comes from a technical background. Some students are fresh graduates, while others are professionals planning a career switch. Edure creates a supportive learning environment where every student is encouraged to learn at their own pace.

Trainers explain concepts clearly, welcome questions, and guide students patiently through challenges. This student-first mindset helps learners stay motivated and confident throughout their training journey.

What Makes Edure Stand Out

What truly defines Edure is its balanced and student-focused approach:

Industry-aligned curriculum

Practical, hands-on training

Job-oriented course structure

Dedicated placement assistance

Clear and supportive teaching methods

Edure doesn’t just train students to complete a course—it prepares them to build meaningful and sustainable careers in the IT industry.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the Best IT training institute in Kerala is not just about learning technology—it’s about choosing the right partner for your career journey. With its focus on practical skills, job-oriented IT courses, and genuine placement support, Edure continues to help students turn ambition into achievement.
