printf("Hello, World!");

My name is Joshua Wertheim and I currently attend San Jose State University as a Junior. I am in pursuit of a degree in the field of Computer Science.

I have experience programming in Java, C, and Objective-C, as well as working with some HTML, Javascript, and PHP. I am beginning to work with Ruby and Python in order to expand my web development skills.

Working with my initial commit to a new Git repo for Android development.


A few years ago, I released two iOS applications to the App Store and both were downloaded roughly 2000 times. While that number may seem relatively insignificant when compared to the vast amount of iOS devices in circulation, it truly instilled in me a passion for creating products that can impact a large number of people. I admire how truly universal the field is that Computer Science creates. For instance, cars now have built-in computer chips that gauge fuel use as well as maintenance needs, and also other useful utilities. The Internet is spreading out further across the world, even to people who have only just recently begun to access modern technology. Many people have smartphones in society, easily accessing critical information at no particular time except when they need it. Those examples are just a small sample of what is possible. Computer Science is a field ripe in opportunities.

I would truly love to help the dissemination of modern information and other associated resources. Perhaps a fun iPhone game that incorporates basic cultural and ethnic facts in an easy to learn format for children. The possibilities are truly endless.

I hope to mature my goals as I write this blog for the foreseeable future. Please feel free to tag along on this adventure that I am only just beginning. I would value highly any feedback that you may have for me in the coming weeks. Until then, try not to divide by zero!
