CST 462s - Module 6

Week 6,

This week is a bit more compact, however this is because we ended up getting our final survey responses a little bit late. We ended up having to go back and edit our survey questions both on the form itself and the research paper, as well as sending the form to another class. After that, we went over the responses and gained some interesting findings. There were a couple of themes found among the students. The students all felt they have the same level of access to technology to their peers, and they feel the school does encourage them to use technology and provides them with sufficient resources like laptops. However, they feel there are additional factors that may contribute to a student's success in STEM. One factor being a mentor or role model who already has experience in the STEM field. The final common theme found in the responses is the mention of there not being enough opportunities in extracurricular activities relating to STEM.


As for the service learning, I have continued to review bug reports, and was recommended to bibisect bugs in reports that may not even request a bibisect, as these may be easier to complete. By the end of the week, I will have completed my 25 hours of service learning.

CST 363 - Module 7

 Week 7! This week involved involves us using a NoSQL database called MongoDB. After using both MySQL and MongoDB and the instructions that came with it, I can certainly say that there are a few differences between MySQL and MongoDB.  For instance, MongoDB is not relational, whereas SQL is. Mongo and SQL use different query languages. And Mongo doesn't use transactions but SQL does. Some similarities however, include both SQL and Mongo supporting things like query projection, unique keys, and indexes. One thing that is strengthened on Mongo, is replication, which increases reliability which can be useful when an error occurs. When it comes to my preferred choice of the two databases, it depends. MySQL's language is more human based or easier to read, but it doesn't make it easier to find very specific data from multiple schemas. However, if you are already familiar with coding in JavaScript, or coding in general, then MongoDB can be strong choice as it is easier to support ...

CST 363 - Module 6

Week 6, This week was a fun week. Mostly because we started to connect our databases to a java project. From there we were able to learn how to use the database from java and see what it is like to work on a website that uses the database via user input. Additionally, we are working with groups to make this website work.  Aside from the website, we also were able to practice our SQL statements a bit more, which for me I feel I am getting faster at completing. Those are the main things that we worked on this week and so far, it is interesting.

CST 311 - Module 3

 Week 3 This week's material was very more focused on the transport layer. One topic was multiplexing and demultiplexing. To sum the topic up, this is how data is handled from multiple sockets using a transport header. The multiplexing occurs at the sender, using the transport header containing the source and destination port number, then demultiplexing occurs at the receiver, which allows the receiver to deliver the received segments to the correct socket. There are also two variants of these, connectionless demux and connection-oriented demux.  More on the topic of connection and connectionless transport, connectionless refers to the UDP protocol and is considered bare bones, there is no handshaking and each UDP segment is handled independently. What makes it bare bones is the fact that there is no effort in flow control, delivering data in order, reliable data transfer. However, it can be implemented at the application layer. On the other hand, with connection transport (us...
