CST 438 - Week 7

This week, our team finished the third iteration of our project and got all the basic functionality, front end, and back end components working. We had some initial problems with front end form submission and querying our database for certain data fields, but we eventually solved these problems which finally lead to our front end and back end services communicating correctly.

CST 300 - Week 4

Educational Goals My current educational goals are to finish my bachelor's degree in computer science while also gaining a deep understanding of the fundamentals along the way. I have always believed that a solid understanding of the fundamentals goes a long way in any skill since you always refer back to them. When I have gotten stuck on a problem or some skill in the past, I have always taken a step back, broken down things into smaller pieces and remembered my fundamentals, and doing so has helped me through a lot of academic and professional work so far. Although I already know basic programming and data structures, I want to learn more about them and discover new ways of thinking in order to solve complex problems.  Career Goals I started a career as a full-time software test analyst about two months ago. Even though my job doesn't involve a lot of programming, getting a degree in computer science would be really helpful in all aspects of my career, such as identif...

CST 300 - Week 3

This week, we learned about ethics, ethical frameworks, and held a discussion about an infamous contemporary ethical scenario. After reading through this week's material I feel as if I have a much better understanding of ethics in society, and the motives behind people's decisions whether good or bad.  I'll admit I didn't pay much as much in depth discussion to Edward Snowden when he originally leaked all that information back in 2013, but after this week's discussion it really got me thinking about proper ethical behaviors in society and made me question much privacy I actually have as a US citizen.  Note: NSA, if you're reading this, say hi to my friend Chris for me. He's around the DC area somewhere and I'm sure you've run into him a couple of times. I swear he's a nice guy and doesn't bite.  Time Management and Studying I am getting much better at concentrating while working on papers and studying material. Unfortunately, I shoul...

The Final Journal

It's the end of a long, four year journey, and what a journey it has been. I never thought I could pull off finishing my second bachelor's degree four years ago when I first went to that introduction to programming class at my community college. I would like to thank all the friends I've made along the way and the people who have helped me through the last two years. Although it was difficult at times taking class while working 40+ hours a week, I'm proud of myself for making it through. I don't think I'll be a student enrolled in classes anytime soon, but I'll always be a lifelong student. See you all around.
