HouseKeeping

It has been brought to my attention that I have not really discussed what I have been doing so far in this internship. It should be noted that this internship requires a lot of previous training since I have limited knowledge about cybersecurity. At the current time, the president of the company who is my on-site mentor has some financial issues that she needed to focus her time on. This means that I will be doing all my training during this time period. 

The first order of business is to understand important information about computer hardware(did I ever mention how much I hate computer hardware?). In order to do that I had to read the book Computer Networks by A. Tanenbaum. I only had to read specific chapters but that took me at least a week to complete becasue I had to do the reference material for the given chapters found in the Computer Network book by Forouzan. 

Then last week was my week off. 

Now, I am focusing on the app development part of my internship training which consists of me doing this Stanford course about titled Developing apps using Swift  (the programming language used to make iOS apps) that I found on iTunes U.

SideNote: What I learn from this internship about making apps and app security will be what I would use for the fake news app that I will be building. I should really come up with a name for my app.
