About the courses

We have begun the second week of courses, so it's time to tell you a little more about our life in Horsens.

We do not have a lot of work hours, but a lot of projects at home. But first, you would probably like to know what we are studying. Here is the list of our courses : Mobile Application, Embedded Operating System, Encryption and Security, Digital and Multimedia (only for me), Java (only for Billy) and of course English.

We call our teacher by their first name with a informal speech. We are in group of 20-30 persons and we have each course once a week for 4 hours.

In Mobile Application, we learn how to develop on Android platform (for smartphone and tablet). We also have to develop a fully functional application and publish it on the "Play Store" (the download center of android apps). The project is built by team of 2 or 3. We don't know yet what we will do.

Encryption and Security is about the different techniques to secure all the data from every digital support as computer, phone, but also credit card. It seems to be the most complicated of our courses.

The aim of Embedded Operating System is to develop a operating system (as Windows, OS X, Android, iOS, Linux...) but much more simple and very tiny on a electronic board. When we talk about Embedded System, we think about all system which are not computer as your car, your phone, the component of a plan cockpit.

Digital and Multimedia is more about how to use software to design digital images as GIMP, Inkscape.

And finally Java, to learn Java programming.

We also have a project with companies. We are working with a company to help them in a project. Guillaume has to develop a web site used to order the product of his company. It is a little more complicated, but we will write another article a little more detailed later. Billy and I are working on a social web site for fitness. We don't know more about it yet. The client want to see us to sign a confidentiality agreement before telling us the details so you probably won't know more about it.

We will tell you more about all the projects in few weeks.

Keep in touch, another article is coming very soon !
