How I did it
How to get certified in C++ programming
It took me
12 weeks
It made me
feel accomplished

How I did it: I really wanted to get certified in C++ because it's one of the primary computer languages used in software development, video game design, and robotics programming. Also, it will give me a head start in my Software Development class in the fall.I did an online e-course site: ed2go.com (Expert Ratings). After a fair amount of research looking for a good course, I would recommend this site- personally, I had a pretty good instructor, but a… Read how I did it…

Just got home. My brother’s moved in and already making friends. Got to see relatives in the area which was nice, and celebrated my sister’s birthday. Lots of fun, but man it’s good to be home!
