Greetings from Colorado! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone during lunch break. I love the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m amazed at how quick your blog loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, great blog!

Hello Eric,
I had similar experience, thanks for writing this blog.
I hope a lot of under grads read this(I’m sure gonna forward this to my juniors), our experiences may help new boys to take decisions about their studies earlier and help them out of bumpy rides :).

@Eric

Northeastern Junior College had a full Solaris lab and used the Sun curriculum for that and the Java courses I took.
