You can make the most out of DILC internship if you
For Everybody
- try to develop your social skills, especially with regard to the use of DILC common spaces and in observing basic courtesies.
- If you live far from the UP campus, consider looking for a place nearby.
- What powers you? Definitely not the money. How about the applause?
For Programmers
- try to acquire collaboration skills via platforms like Git. DILC uses its own Git server.
- learn Linux. Favorite flavors of Linux in the Program include Mint and Ubuntu.
- realize that saying "nagwo-work naman sa localhost, ah!" (it works in the localhost!) is not good enough, unless your localhost is a machine that's technically the same as the production server.
- learn to work using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
- you'll get used to breaking down a project into time-specific milestones and deliverables. DILC uses its own online project management platform.
