This week we worked on something different than backing up websites or maintaining them. The most interesting part from this week was figuring out how build a newsletter for one of the studio’s clients. I had to copy the design from a photoshop layout and copy it to WordPress so the clients could use the layout and change its content everytime they needed to. This project taught me to be humble and just learn as much as I could from it. Even though it was frustrating to make since it was the first time, me and my supervisor were able to finish it after a lot of work. Coding was pretty frustrating but its good to learn every type of front-end developing I can.

Everyday, thanks to this internship, I have been gaining more and more experience with WordPress. However, I will try to learn more and more outside of work to learn all of its features and its potential.

And last but not least, this week’s lesson was more about organizing myself than anything else. Since I just started my other job plus this internship and my university work, I had to learn to organize my time and be able to finish everything that I need to do on time. This week I was able to so and I expect it to keep that way for as long as I can. Overall, this week was really amazing in the internship and I am excited to learn more

I have learned a lot during my first week at the internship. My supervisor is incredibly nice, the workspace is clean and beautiful, and the work is perfect in giving me real-world experience. This week, the studio’s manager taught me her methodology to do work, how to organize the workload, and how to use different programs like Filezilla to upload and download files from a server. Another big part of the time she taught me me how to back up and maintain many of the websites from their clients. It was also my first time working with WordPress. I am specially excited to learn how to use this application because it will be useful for the rest of my career. I also had to see some tutorials in Lynda.com to understand its functions better. What was most interesting to me was the amount of work that goes behind building a website. I didn’t know much of it is based on databases and PHP programming. And last but not least, I was amazed by how much you learn by having hands-on experience rather than just being in a classroom. I believe I have learned more in this week than in a lot of my classes in my college. Overall, my first impression of my internship has been great.
