Special Experience when still being a Student
When being student at the university I was passionate by computers and software programming, and I spent nights enjoying the development of software that enables full features needed for managing internet coffees. I called the application GCC (standing for Gestion de CyberCafé).
GCC has been sold to few Internet Coffees (Cybercafé) in Algeria. And it has been used to fully monitor and control clients’ (users’) terminals remotely from a main server e.g. to remotely lock and unlock the terminals, real-time interaction with users (like messenger), finance accountability management tools, etc.
