Throughout the year we will be following the progress of our Guest Bloggers so read on to find out how Aaron has been getting on at Trigger! ”First off, sorry for the lack of updates, things have been busy for me at inside and outside of Trigger, seeing it as a good thing though. I have been working hard on the support side of things within Trigger helping to cover Conor to allow him to triage other clients and keep on top of things. This covering will now start to die down over the next few weeks as I slowly move to the Web Development department, hurray! I will still be covering support over the forthcoming weeks until there is a new support focused individual that is employed, but it will be less focused as I will be putting most of my efforts into the PHP etc. I think it’s fair to say that I am really really looking forward to getting stuck in with PHP/MySQL/CSS/HTML etc within the new department. There are already a few things for me to do within the future development of some big websites that we deal with, can’t disclose whom though. Today my environments are being setup, then I can spend some time adapting myself to all of the code, seeing how it all works and how it is linked together all of this week. The process of then getting stuck in with all of the code to improve different features it will take place. To give me some structure over the next coming months I have gone through, with a couple of employees, a second learning agreement. Although learning agreements are sometimes seen as just ‘required to pass the placement module’ at University and some people may just do them because they have to, they are actually extremely useful. The main reason being that it sets some objectives that I can work towards over time and means that I’m not just an intern doing odd jobs, I have structure and something to aim for. I will keep you updated on how I do within the new department as time progresses. Before I finish though, quick update in regards to outside of my work life. Had a mental weekend just gone, lots of fun. Next week we will be celebrating Rach’s 21st early as she is off to America very soon for a year on placement, Birmingham here we come for a great send off. Apart from that my life’s been pretty much the same. New housemates have been moving in to the house which is always good, starting to feel less empty now which is nice. Right, back to work I go! expect an update in the next 3 weeks. Aaron” Find out more from Aaron at Trigger, as well as our other Guest Bloggers in the next couple of weeks!
