Nobody was born as an engineer…

• If you want to run, you have to learn how to walk first

• “An expert is a person, who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field” – who said this?

• Burn it until you learn it

• Engineers brake make things

• Sport/programming the same rule – at the beginning you are 10000 repetitions from expertise…

Rules

• We drink coffee only in the coffee corner!

• Questions! ASK AS MANY AS YOU WILL! Don’t wait!

• If someone is too quick with explaining or if you did not catch something at once – ASK!

• If you have your own idea – try to implement it!
