Salam Alaikum, and welcome to my humble blog. My name is Zainab Al-Ansari, and am an aspiring Legendary game designer. I come from the little country of Bahrain, and at 23 years I’ve recently graduated from Bahrain Polytechnic, ICT bachelor majoring in Programming.

During the last year of our studies at poly, we are required to get a job related to our major and work throughout a semester, mine was the position of a Web Developer at VII Tech. Part of poly’s requirements is to submit weekly reflections where we look back on the previous week, and objectively discuss our failures and successes, what we learned and what we need to do to improve. I found these highly beneficial, not just to understand my strengths and weaknesses, but also to see how far I’ve come later on, and so decided to continue the practice. However, instead of keeping these weekly “reports” for myself, I thought perhaps other people might benefit and learn from my experiences, which is why I decided to release them for the public. Expect them every Saturday starting 6th of September, and if I fail to deliver feel free to scold and call me lazy!

So you might be wondering why would you want to read some unknown person’s thoughts? Well, for one thing I expect the blog to be especially helpful for game developers, as well as those who work from home, as I’ll be documenting both my practices, their effects and my game development efforts. But more than that, anyone who shares my love of knowledge would benefit. You see, calling learning my passion, is an understatement. Learning new things excites me, it’s the reason why I wake up in the morning, and consider it my life’s purpose. I want to see, feel, taste and hear everything there is to experience, know of all there is to know, learn of all humanity’s sciences, art, music, literature and all we’ve done. Unlikely dream, but I still pursue it eagerly, and have been so for as long as I remember. If you’re curious enough, you’ll be happy to know that I’ll be sharing not just my work but my pursuit of knowledge with you as well. So I hope you’ll stick along and share our journeys together!
