DC121 Computer Applications in September

:)I'm the same. Looking forward to it.

I certainly am! Super nervous though

didnt think we had to? I think it would be a bit awkward carrying it around.. anyone hoping to stay on campus?

Im going to Dcu as a first year 2 years after starting college first I brought a laptop to all lectures and i can't think of a bigger distraction. Probably part of the reason I'm on my second course so I wouldnt recommend bringing one

Hahahaha! Are you doing this course? And is this your previous one?

Second year CA student here. Congratulations to everyone, fantastic course to join. Possibly could be mentoring some of you in Programming labs depending on your surname in the alphabet. :P

To the laptops, not many lecturers (in our experience last year) are very keen on having them in class. Big distraction as said.

Any questions feel free to ask.

what career would you get doing this course?

It pretty much spells it out for you...anything in IT perhaps?

To be more detailed....

Application/Deskside Support/Helpdesk
IT Business Analysts/ Project Management
System/Network Admins
Software Engineer/Web Development
Database Developers/Admins
Many more subgenres..

It really depends what area you want to go into.

I'm in CA too, and don't own a Laptop... However, I do have a Raspberry Pi...
If there's anyone here, who hasn't joined the 'DCU First Years 2013/14' Facebook page, where all sorts of issues including the likes of this and accommodation are discussed, I give you the link and a wink
