Tipping Canoe
RE: Web Developer
I am pleased to apply for a Co-op position starting January 2010 as a Web Developer with
Tipping Canoe. I would like to be one of your coding ninjas!
My programming experience in university has been heavily focused on Java and C/C++,
while my volunteer and personal projects involved many different web technologies. These web
technologies included: AJAX, Javascript, PHP, MySQL databases and XHTML. Recently, I
developed a website for the University of Manitoba Society of Automotive Engineers
(umsae.com), where I used HTML, CSS and some PHP to develop templates for the website. In
addition, when StudioKW.com needed an application form for one of the photo shoots, I was
able to quickly create one using PHP and Javascript.
My good academic record is evidence to my fast learning ability and a strong will to learn
new things. Most of the technologies I know today, I taught myself through books and the
internet. Learning new technologies, in particular web related technologies, is something I have
been excited about since I was 12, when I was first interested in web development. As far as
motivation goes, I often find myself working long hours until the problem is solved or the task is
complete. After all, there is no greater or more rewarding feeling than successfully solving a
difficult problem.
All of my skills and experience, as well as my interest in the field and ability to learn
quickly will be a great asset to Tipping Canoe’s ninja team. I am available for a four month work
term, starting in January 2010. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. Thank you for
your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
