I have now completed my final assignment and submitted it for marking. All I have left now is to complete my placement diary, my final appraisal and potentially another placement visit.

My replacement started two weeks ago and I have trained him up. He has been doing the job by himself for the last week, he’s doing well!

My placement officially ends 5th July but I have decided to stay on over the summer until September. I will be doing a different role however, this will involve working with our new ASP Senior Developer, Paddy, on the CCL Online website as well as the company intranet.
I have been working with Paddy for the last week now doing some ASP exercises and also an accessibility analysis on CCL Online. I come from a PHP background and so I’m having to adjust to ASP through doing a few exercises.

Our first little project will be to redevelop the company intranet as it is many years out of date! After the intranet has been redeveloped, we shall be working on further development of the CCL Online website. There is currently a very long list of work to be done, this is to be split between the external company who developed the site and the in-house team. I feel that some experience of ASP will work in favour in the future, however I still would like to stay in a PHP development environment.

I will be choosing my final year module options this week, they have to be in by Friday - I will keep you posted!
