Time to wrap things up here

Well, after just a little over 3 months working with Infineon Technologies, in Munich, Germany, it’s time to wrap it up and clean out my desk.  For the past 3 months I’ve had a great time working and living in Munich, and Infineon is a great place to do an Internship.  During this time I’ve definitely learned more about C#, and programming in general.  This isn’t quite the path I’d like to take in the future, but it was a good learning experience nonetheless.

For the last 3 months I’ve been developing a database driven program to create and maintain low-level flash driver firmware settings that get burned into the embedded flash controllers on Infineon’s 32bit Microcontrollers.  There, try saying that 3 times fast.  I’ve had my fair share of frustrations with C# in the last 3 months, but eventually found solutions to just about all of them.  I hope to write about some things I learned at a later time.

I’m not quite saying, “Bye” to Germany yet – I leave on the 30th.  From here, Oktoberfest starts tomorrow (!!!).  I think I’ll be heading there with a friend I met here.  Also, my mom is coming on Monday, and we’ll be going to Berlin on Friday.  After that, I fly back to Los Angeles on Tuesday!

All in all though, I’m definitely glad that I came here, and it was a great experience.
