Last Week at ESRI

So this is the last week of my internship at ESRI. Like all the good thing, this too will come to an end. Saying that I had an amazing time at ESRI, would be an understatement. Not only I learned new technologies related to GIS ; ArcGIS, ArcMap, but also I learned to write "cleaner", professional and easy-to-follow code (seriously). Its not that I didn't know about the ways to write a better code, its just that I didn't feel the need to follow the guidelines. But at ESRI memory management, code execution time, etc are VERY important. So initially I had another pair of eyes look at what I have written. I thought that it was really hardcore but I know now that it was important for me to understand how I should follow the guidelines.

Things that I learned at ESRI are priceless but what I cherished the most was the culture at ESRI. I tried my level best to disappoint my team :) but they were always supportive and eager to help me out. I guess Jack Dangermond is responsible for that. He himself is a very friendly fellow.
