USAToday.com Information Technologies Internship

This page has been created as a reference to describe the experience of my internship with USAToday.com's Information Technologies department. The links to the left will lead you on an in-depth analyses of how I got the internship, projects I have been involved with, advice for others looking to do the same, and the resume and interview experience that ended up landing me the internship. I have also provided links to USAToday.com's website as well as the MyUSAT website.

As the internship comes to a close, and I return back to the all too regular life as a student at James Madison University, this page will serve as both a log of the productive summer as an intern and a guide to future CS students on the same path that I am on. I hope that this page will grant you the knowledge needed to become excited about your future as a CS professional whether it is in a large corporate location such as USAToday or wwith a small business in web development. It is my understanding that the contents held within this site will show you how I got this internship, and what I did during the course of this summer.
