Description:
In your 10-12 weeks as a Fog Creek Summer Intern in Software Development you will be given a real project to work on that will ship as a part of one of our products. You will receive mentoring from the team at Fog Creek, and learn about the software development industry from the experts. We're a small company, so you'll see everything that goes into software ... not just code, but testing, marketing, sales, documentation, customer support, and user interface design... stuff you would never learn at a bigger company. Here are just a few examples of recent internship projects:
- A dynamic, check-as-you-type spell checker - entirely using AJAX
- Highly optimized Monte Carlo simulations for project scheduling
- An ASP to PHP compiler
- Bayesian Filtering code to filter spam and sort FogBugz email messages into areas automatically
- Adding SSL security to VNC
- A powerful Flash-based chart engine
At Fog Creek Software, we'll give you a big project and we'll expect you to deliver something great.
