A blog by Lee Van

I am a senior at Longwood University working towards a  computer science major with a minor in business administration. I am a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, the treasurer and secretary of Upsilon Pi Epsilon at Longwood, and will be the treasurer of the Longwood’s Association of Computing Machinery club for the Spring 2018 semester.

Starting a new coding project is always enjoyable. If you are starting from scratch, you have a blank canvas to design the project how you want to. On the other hand, picking up a project from where somebody else left off lets you ponder about how they got to that point and how your coding style can be integrated into theirs. Learning about different algorithms helps with thinking about the problems that can be faced when trying to implement a new feature in a project.

In my major, we occasionally talk about security exploits that are in the news and how they can effect us, the end users. Keeping a users data secured is a big job that companies have to deal with in order to keep our private data secured.

This blog is a repository of my works for Longwood University’s English 400 class.
