Welcome Back, LA (Recap Goog SF)

• So I made the long journey to Google SF yesterday for an amazing event!

• Not only did I get to meet the VP of Engineering for Google Cloud (who quite liked my Cassini tshirt!), but I also got some GREAT advice on which departments may be a better fit for me. So we shall see.

• I also made some great friends and mentors. I have a very positive impression of the company.

Udacity Mentorship (Update)

• I struggled with the Internet (and it beat me!!), (the internet connection, that is, is horrible via Greyhound…some mentors said I should take a break and enjoy the scenery..haha) so I have some catching up to do, but I now have a mentor named Christopher! I’m really excited!

Here are some fun-time pics of my travels, and of the event….

Livermore area

Googs SF Polaroids, etc

• The base of the frame actually says “Google” in binary!

• This was great to attend to meet everyone, get a sense of each office and how they hire. Again, I have no idea how or why I was invited, but I’m really grateful for the opportunity, and didn’t let that go to waste.

• Onward Coding Soldier!!! :)

• If sum of arr is 0 or even, return even else return odd

function oddOrEven(array) {
    var total = 0;
   for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
   {
     total = total + array[i]
   }
   if (array.length == 0){
     return "even"
   }
   else if (total % 2 == 0)
   {
     return "even"
   }
   else{
     return "odd"
   }
}
