Week 6 Reflection

This was midterm week and glad it is over. I found the midterm to not be too bad and I was expecting more, but am glad with what was given. However, I found it a little difficult to discuss some of the questions, in great length and fealt that I was rambling on about the same thing at times in order to try and meet the required length. I am glad I did well and hopefully the final is similar.

Week 5 Reflection

This week was a thorough reading and discussion on e-commerce. This is a fast growing industry and one that will continue to profit and grow. However, it was not always so profitable and can still be that way without proper planning and being customer focused. The mini-project this week was challenging at first to try and come up with an idea, but after some time thinking of some imagitive ideas, I was able to come up with an idea, I believe could be used in the future. Another great week of class and preparing myself for next week. Hopefully, I won't have to use my brain too much, since I had to think of a unique e-business.

Week 4 Relection

This was a week of reading more on networking and dealt with how data is transferred via telecommunications either wired or wireless. In addition, we read more on the media used to transmit the data, either ethernet or fiber optic wires. Finally, this week's mini-project was my least favorite and a site I find wasteful of people's time. Twitter is a site where I believe is someone who does not have any time or friends and needs to be aware of what others are doing. There are better ways to communicate with people and what happened to be open-minded and meeting and talking with someone in person. However, with today's generation, this is the way which is preferred. To those who like to use Twitter, have fun and I will be out doing better things in life.

Week 3 Reflection

Week 3 was focused on data resource management and when into the various types of databases and the challenges and we face with ensure security of them. In addition, we analyzed a database named Zillow and had to do a review of the site and state what security issues or threats to the site which hosts the database. There will always be some type of security issue with databases and the data which it contains. We must ensure we do everything necessary to secure them and also at the same time provide easy access to users. I find it interesting and beneficial with the mini-projects and I look forward to the next one.

Week 2 Reflection

This was an interesting week of coming up with some cool ideas, which we may all see in the future. I would have to say that we have some creative minds in this class and it was neat to see the various ideas for the mini-project. Overall the week culminated with an overview of computer hardware and software. A good review and should have been a refresher to most folks in the class. Look forward to what is next and what mini-projects we have coming our way.
