In a winter's day,

on a chilly morning,

we find more interesting things about the people

that work at ASSIST.

Today we're talking to Adrian.

Hello.

Hello.

How did you get to work at ASSIST?

I've heard

that you've changed

your profession.

Yes, I did change it a bit.

What did you do exactly?

I exchanged economics for programming.

I understand.

I was an economist for four years

at a company in Suceava.

Previously I graduated from the Economic High School,

then College

and after that the Economic Master.

I stopped there.

After that, I started studying Computer Science

here in Suceava.

For one year I went both to labs

and work.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I kept on studying Computer Science,

and I learned a lot of things.

I tried to be up to date with all the new information

and eventually,

I quit from the accounting job.

What exactly do you do now at ASSIST?

I'm a Software Developer,

and I'm working with Salesforce and C#.

Tell us something about an interesting project

you were involved in.

There are several.

Maybe the most recent

is related to research and development.

It's related to Blockchain

and associated technologies.

I understand,

so...

you're the most passionate

about crypto ...

Yes, but I also have more colleagues

who are passionate about this field.

So, this is your office.

What are your passions?

Taking into account

your economic and IT background,

it's clear that you have a range of passions ...

What I love the most

is reading,

including fiction

and technical books.

But now, unfortunately, I don't have

as much time as I had before...

I used to read an entire book in one day

and live

vicariously throught the characters.

Reguarding the IT area,

I discovered that I am passionate about

Retro Computing.

Specifically, I started looking

for older peripherals and units

monitors, keyboards, mouses

all of them...

At some point, I also had an old console.

My passion includes

all the old

electronic equipment

that is burned

or needs to be restored.

From a few broken computer units,

you can make a functional one.

My plan is

to make a functional sistem

for every computer generation,

and this isn't simple at all.

So Retro Computing,

reading,

what else?

Besides

the programming part

there are the programming challenges.

For example, Code golf.

It's like the game

the least

amount of movement that gets the ball to...

Reach the target ...

That's exactly the same here,

but here you strive to achieve

the shotest possible source code.

Of course, that means

that the code

will never be

in production.

Because it would be hard

to change it

without ruining it.

It's difficult to follow

and fix if it creates problems

and is generally limited.

But...

it is the ability

to set up

your own language.

A "mind drilling" programming niche

Yes.

I also heard

you have a passion for Cyber Security.

Exactly.

What can you tell us here?

We talk about hackers,

hacking,

how they affects us,

what viruses are, antiviruses ...

Cyber Security

is a complex domain.

We can define

hacking

as the task of gaining unauthorized access

to a system or group of systems on a network.

There is also another,

creative definition

where we can use a particular system,

program

or platform

to create

or realize

unexpected things.

On the other hand,

there's another type of threat

ransomware,

but it's no longer as scary or powerful as it once was.

For example, a week or two ago

someone attacked

"Grigore T. Popa" University

in Iasi.

I don't know exactly how whole story went down...

but I heard it was probably because of an email

attachment.

At least they managed to isolate

the infected part of the network

or the infected computers.

To find out all these things,

you need to keep your information

up-to-date.

How do you do that?

What is your

source of information?

IT news.

There are many sites

that publish

the newest information.

Sometimes I go on Reddit,

a discussion

forum

where you can find a variety

of technical or non-technical information.

I also follow

a lot of specialty sites

and I always get to read something interesting

about a hack,

a broken password

and so on.

From your point of view,

what qualities should

a programmer have?

A programmer and an engineer, in general,

should

have the curiosity to explore

new things,

play with the concepts

and learn

about the things

already discovered by others,

in both software and hardware.

If the sofware is broken, we just have to reinstal it,

but if the hardware is broken,

it's harder to replace it.

The costs are bigger.

And the main thing is the a desire for exploration.

Curiosity.

In the first year at Computer Science,

I didn't understand everything.

At first, I was a bit confused,

even with my first

"C" programming language.

And I didn't really understand it

until once I sat at home

and I opened the book

of Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan.

After that,

I started to read their examples,

I took notes,

I followed their explanations,

and in the end,

I said

"yes, I understand!".

It wasn't much but I understood something,

and for me, it was a big step.

What would you recommend

to those who want

a career

in this field?

I would recommend

exploring things,

to think:

yes, I can learn that!"

because working in this industry

means to develop and familiarize yourself

with everything that's new

and

learn how to do it.

There will always be

something new

to learn.

I can't say I suffer from monotony,

there's something new every day...

a trick,

a hidden setting,

or another way to solve a problem.

But this depends from person to person if they're willing to learn new things every day.

If someone would be so motivated

that he would say, "Yes, I want to work here

or I want to try it out for a month

to figure out if I can handle it."

Let him learn by himself,

let him explore...

"What do I want to learn?"

" What language?"

"C#"

There are all kinds of courses and tutorials

and applications on the Internet...

some of them are for beginners

that want to learn.

This is how anybody learns in any field,

all of us learn by doing something.

Eventually, if we work in a team,

it's a good thing to sometimes do

brainstorming sessions...

I don't say that this is mandatory.

But it's a good thing

to have someone you can consult with...

you take your time to think,

brainstorm, and finally take a decision.

It's very important to have someone

that can help you and give you advice.

On the other hand,

once someone learned

how to do something,

it's worth starting up with an internship.

At ASSIST, our interns can learn a lot of things from their mentors,

and they also get to see what it's like working on a real project.

So an internship is a good option.

Yes.

That's when they can learn something new,

and seeing what it means

doing something new,

how it works.

I enjoyed talking to you

and learning

about your passions.

And hope

we'll hear only good things

about

Cyber Security

and blockchain in the future.

I hope so, this technology

is just at its beginning.

Comparison of Hardware and Software - Duration: 2:52.

Computers have become a huge part of our lives nowadays.

We use them every day to complete different tasks.

But, what happens inside to make it all work?

They are basically composed of 2 main things:

the software and the hardware.

The software has all the instructions and information needed for the PC to run.

This includes the operating system and the programs.

The hardware is all the physical elements that make the computer work.

This includes the CPU, RAM, ROM, cache, etc.

But, what do they all do?

Firstly, we need to know that computers need data.

Without data, computers have nothing to process.

If there is no data going in, then there will be no data coming out.

So, if we need data to come out of the computer, it has to go in first.

Let's take a look at how it happens.

A peripheral device is a device that

you can add to and use on your computer.

These devices can be input, output or storage peripherals.

To put information into your computer, you need an input device.

The keyboard and the mouse are two of the most common input devices.

Computer systems can have many different output devices,

each converting data into a readable form.

The two most common output devices are monitors and printers.

Sometimes, our output is short-term, such as printing a photo

and sometimes, what we work on needs to be kept around for a while.

That's where storage comes in.

Storage is the term used to indicate that we will be saving data for a period of time.

We need to be able to store data and store files once a computer has been switched off,

and that's what storage devices are for.

Examples of storage devices are external hard drive, CD/DVD, USB flash drive and SD card.
