Simon

Shall We Play a Game!

Yep this at the bottom.  Why, you ask? Well. Aren't you just here to play a game? So what is this all about? Why is there a Simon game on your website?

That's a good question. Our CEO and Head of Product Development, Mike Morgan decided to take a web development course offered by VetsInTech. VetsInTech provides service members, veterans and their spouses the opportunity to take courses to improve their skills to better prepare themselves for roles in the tech industry.

For Mike Morgan, it's always about continual learning and continual improvement. Having taken lead on development of the Real-Forklift virtual reality training simulator. This included hardware and software. It was time for him to become more comfortable with HTML and JavaScript.

The VetsInTech Web Development program was an intensive four-week program that culminated in a final project. From the four options, Mike opted for the most JavaScript intensive project. And that is how we ended up with the game Simon on our website!
