Wolnicat Studios Website Goes Live

What’s Wolnicat Studios?

Wolnicat Studios is an Android application development company which develops Android applications for consumers and business clients.

Why do a soft launch?

As I mentioned previously, a soft launch involves releases an idea or website to a select number of people. The reason I’ve decided not to start marketing the site to the general public yet is that Wolnicat Studios is just starting up. We’re still in the process of producing our first apps, and don’t want to start marketing the website until we have great apps to show off.

That being said, the front-end of our company website is looking great. With just a few back-end updates to make and a couple pages to fix up, I’m really happy with the way the site looks. I hope you enjoy it too.

I’m on GitHub

What is Git?

Git is a revision control system. Programmers use revision control systems to keep track of past versions of their code. By saving your past revisions, you can revert back to them should something go wrong with a new version you’re working on.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is a Git repository hosting site, which allows developers space to upload their code and has features designed to make collaboration and sharing much easier between different developers. This makes it perfect for open source development.

Why am I using GitHub?

As I mentioned, GitHub houses a great community of developers, and is an even better way to showcase your work. I’ll be using GitHub as a public code repository for employers and other students. Right now it’s just housing a test commit of a simple die class which could be used for games that need one die or multiple dice. As time goes on, I’ll fill it up with code I’ve written for my classes and side projects. Feel free to visit my repository and check out what I’ve been working on @rwolniak.

Let the Blogging Begin

Why am I starting a blog?

Today I read a really interesting article called “What every computer science major should know” by Matthew Might. The article covers a number of important math and computer science topics. Some of the topics he mentions, I was pleased to find out, I have already covered over the course of my past three semesters of education (such as linear algebra, discrete math and Java). Other topics I’m excited to be learning over the upcoming semesters: data structures, algorithms, networking, C, and software engineering (to name a few). But, one of the topics that stuck out to me was having a portfolio instead of a resume. I liked the idea of showcasing code and knowledge I’ve developed to potential employers. Thus, over the course of my remaining semesters at the University of Maryland, I plan to update this blog frequently with content related to what I’ve been working on in computer science.

What will this blog cover?

This blog will cover computer science related content that I’m learning (either in my classes at the University of Maryland or outside of classes in my side-projects and work projects).

Who might find this blog useful?

If you’re a company looking to hire me onto your team, you may find this blog useful in evaluating my abilities. You’ll be able to see my skills from the time I started blogging, and how they’ve evolved over time with dedicated work and persistence.

If you’re a computer science major, you might also find this blog useful as a learning tool. Since I’ll be posting articles about computer science projects and news, you may find it useful to subscribe and stay updated to what I’ve been up to.
