Brilliant Computer Center


It all started in Jan.93. I had gotten admissions from Texas A&M, University of Texas and a couple of other Universities for the Fall 93, Electrical Engineering program. I let my job at HCL selling communication systems and went to Brilliant Computer Center(BCC) to learn UNIX and C. The counselor there (she was really pretty) convinced me to enroll in the UNIX/Oracle class she was trying to fill for 5 and I would complete the class. She told me I could use the free time available to learn C. From Jan’93 to Jul’93, I spent every day at BCC learning UNIX, C and Oracle. The first time, I got the concept of the relational join and tied it back to set theory was my first eureka moment of understanding. Interestingly, the theory was invented by Dr. Codd on the year of my birth.
