Student Placement Week

We’ve had a great week in the Sun here at Fluid Pixel. Especially as we’ve had the talented William Price on a Work Experience week from Cardinal Hume School. We introduced Will to the development environment and all areas from design to coding through testing. Here’s what he had to say:

“My work experience was an experience I won’t forget. I’ve met some awesome people who have skills far beyond my level. Over the course of the week, I have created a game with Actionscript in Flash. The game doesn’t meet a good standard however I made a game with no knowledge of Flash and Actionscript. I couldn’t have learned these skills without the help of staff in Fluid Pixel and the other companies in the workplace. I had an enjoyable week but it felt quite short, time flies when you’re having fun I guess.”
