A Bit of Reflection

-
Creating a journal entry was a revealing personal experience because it made me realize how much time I set aside for various tasks throughout my day-to-day. I personally have been working on establishing a work-life balance and this also includes school. So, an activity like this really hits home. What really made things engaging was taking the information I discussed about my day and transforming it into data. This allowed me to see how much time I dedicated to a specific task, which probably says a lot about me and how I manage my priorities. This goes to show data can represent almost anything within a program. Really anything can be transformed into data. On that note, transferring this into calculated percentages helped provide a much more detailed preview to how I manage time. Admittingly, I may use this data to my advantage and reassess how things are being managed. There was a lot to be offered learning about Microsoft word in this assignment, I needed time to inspect other elements of the suite. Additionally, I enjoyed the presentation piece. I spent a lot of time making business PowerPoints, so having a simple laid-back presentation was nice for a change. Something I’ve never had the chance to do before with Microsoft office was utilize their application known as Access. This was a unique tool that took data and placed them into tables and cells and formatted things nicely. Each “data-set” responded to other, whenever I made changes to the tasks they updated in a different chart, same goes for my selected priorities. This is something I see used for websites using MYSQL all the time, taking collected data sets and placing them into neat organized tables. I get the feeling we’re about to dive into the world of Information Technology as the class goes on.

                                          https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/323304323/ Scratch is a unique program for building animation experiences. I had personally selected the Music extension and put together a series of sounds, motions and music notes. The result was a success, but I did run into a few challenges utilizing Scratch. First, putting the sounds together in a way that made sense wasn’t an easy task. Every time a music note was placed, the graphic cut out would dance ahead of the beat. Another problem I had ran into was getting the right number of “Steps” for each section that made the cut-out move. To overcome these challenges, I made several adjustments to the timing for each “step” section by changing the variable from 10 to 5 seconds. Portions where the animation did move on beat were left alone, while and the music notes were repositioned behind e...

C++ Final Project

  Throughout this course, we were introduced to various fundamentals that were applied throughout my program. Some of these include Variable assignments or declarations, branches, loops, and lastly, vectors and functions. To best describe the program, I will provide a high-level overview of each file.    For our main program, we start with including headers and throughout the updates and changes of the assignment, added directives to call on files ItemtoPurchase.h and ShoppingCart.h. Next, we implemented a Menu using print functions, this is shown with the PrintMenu implementation. I included a loop to allows users to add additional inputs. Included in this stream were multiple display statements to show items purchases.  I added additional assignments and implemented classes such as ItemToPurchase to later assign items and organize them into each class. and used additional print func...
