I really enjoyed how the program combined technical coding skills (HTML/CSS) with real-world business requirements, like following the Commonwealth Bank style guidelines. It was very helpful to learn about the security side of web development, such as SSL certificates and DDoS protection, rather than just focusing on the design.

I liked that the tasks were practical and built on each other. I researched financial cybersecurity, turned that into a web page with HTML and CSS, styled it to match brand guidelines, and then wrote a proposal for hosting it securely. It gave me a realistic picture of how a software engineer works with colleagues and managers, and I gained hands-on skills I can use in my degree.

I liked that the simulation provided practical tasks and allowed me to work through different stages of a software engineering project, from creating and styling a website to considering cybersecurity and secure hosting. It was a useful way to understand how these tasks connect to real-world software engineering work.
