My learning experience

I've been working on a lot of different IT issues at my job as an IT specialist. It has been a great opportunity to learn something new, but I think it is ultimately not what I will go into as a career. I still want to move forward with programming and software development/web application development. That is why I am putting more effort into learning about PHP and other languages. Although I have experience using Java, PHP, and Perl, along with a taste of other languages like C, C++ and a few others, I want to be develop my skills so that I can use them quite effectively. My attention toward IT has taken my attention away from learning these languages.

To start with, I want to write in this blog again and become prolific in documenting my progress and things that I learn. Programming languages like a natural spoken language can be forgotten if it is not used. I think by having documentation, at least I can look back and review my studies.

Another way I will develop my programming is to actively study for certification exams to become a Sun Certified Professisonal Java Developer or the Zend certified developer.

If I am to further my career, I feel this is a where my efforts should go to. Developing my skills and getting certifications would be a good step toward showing employers what I am capable of.
