J: Reflections

The MIT program continues to excite me. If you are interested in exploring established as well as emerging web technologies this is the program for you. Not only does the program provide the technical perspectives, it also delivers on overall big picture business thinking as it relates to technology. The hands-on and collaborative nature of the program so far is a huge plus as well.

The main things I have learned recently are in the data management/statistical realm. We've had the opportunity to test and play with interesting software packages such as RStudio. Its intriguing to discover how different organizations are using these technologies as part of their corporate strategy. One really interesting thing is the continued rise of open source software into the enterprise space. I would have never imagined that Fortune 500 companies would be using open source applications to run their statistical and data analysis operations. This is really exciting for entrepreneurial minded individuals and will lead to numerous opportunities in the future. Its even more exciting that I will be in a position to capitalize on some of these opportunities perhaps....thanks to the UGA Masters of Internet Technology program at Gwinnett. Looking forward to next semester and beyond.

Go Dawgs, Beat Bama!
