art gallery :)

I've decided to create a website through wix.com
i have chosen this site over others due to it's sophisticated look, and also it has allowed me to create the site from scratch, resulting in myself having complete control of what it would look like.

http://www.wix.com/sabineelizabeth/mcauley-art-gallery

using wix has allowed for easy nagivation and it's pretty cool :)
though using wix there will not be a password enable ability, and it's very plain/simple, but i think that adds to the look. i have added a background photo to the year 7, term 1 page so you can see what it would look like with the background.

also only year 7 have a partically finished site... and you just double click on images to make them bigger :)

hope you liked it !

and it would be helpful if you could fill out this survey please !
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGVjT3RJZjBJZHpaUTdtT3Z4LUV4Nnc6MQ

+ if you like the background image idea, the idea would be to have a different image for each year.

Programming Assessment Task Documentation

Introduction
(Replace this with: what is the purpose or problem that the program is trying to solve)

the purpose of the program is to provide a entertaining gabe which allows to enable two players/users to play tic tac toe against each other, and to result in either a win for one player/user or a no result.

Algorithm Outlining the Program
(put your flow chart here)



Explanation of Data Types used

(What types are used in the variables in your program and where ? Remember the DIM statement)

Text

there are labels for the instructions and the score, also text on the buttons to identify where the players opponent has placed either X or O, which therefor allows you the outcome of your choice (either a win or no result).
eg. button1.text= X and button2.text=X and button3.text=X then label1.text= Player X Wins !

Integer

the variable 'turn' in an integer. this variable allows the whole game to function as this is what allows the game to have more than one outcome.
eg. Dim turn as integer

Control Structure examples

(copy and paste the appropriate section from your program and explain)
Sequence:
You click on 1 of the 9 squares to allow the game to begin. Then your opponent attempts to change the outcome of the game by creating a no win situation.

Selection:

this section involves selection as it involves the words 'and' and 'else if'. These present to the computer conditions or a criteria that it must make a selection out of.

Repetition:

There is no repetition present within the program code. The only slight repition is the reset button which after the game results in either a win or no result, the player has the option to enable all buttons and to start again.

Use of Error Detection

The program handles incorrect user inputs and thereby stopping user created errors by limiting the options or possibilities for a user to enter incorrect values to start with. Through the use of buttons, the user is has no option other then to click on one of the nine buttons, as these are the only ones that are available. there is no room for user input error.

random

The INT function returns the integer part of a specified number.
Rnd is used to return psuedo-random values. These values may look random but because they use complex mathematical formulas they technically aren't random as they are still predictable.
Each time the program is run the psuedo-random values returned by Rnd are always the same. To overcome this you use randomize to initialise VB's random number generator. To avoid generating the same sequence of psuedo-random values you call randomize before you call Rnd.
To change the different values it can choose from you change the highest and lowest values. In the following code the highest is 10 and the lowest is 1. This means that it can choose a value between 1 and 10. You put it after: Handles Button1.Click

Hi LO Guessing Game

1) How many objects are referred to? What are they?
There's one variable, two text boxes and two buttons.

2) What is the name of the variable referred to?
secretnum

3) What are the three text options that appear in textbox1?
higher, lower and correct.

4) What do you think this code does?
You would enter a number in one of the text boxes and click a button but if the random number is higher, lower or if it's correct the other text box would tell you.

5) Well actually you should replace TextBox2 with a label and that means replacing TextBox2 in the code with Label1. This means that you can't enter something in the wrong textbox which is what I was doing which is why it wasn't working. In the original code I was entering a number where it shouldn't have been entered which is why you change it into a label because you can't enter a number in a label. The first button checks your answer and the second button resets it.

variables

A string is a sequence of characters. A string is like a data type storing a sequence of data values, usually bytes, where these usually stand for characters. That means that binary string and byte string are used to describe strings where the data they store but does not have to be text.


Integer variables are variables that must take an integer value; a whole number like 1 or 2. A special kind of integer variables is binary variables. Integer variables however will make the program more complex, making it take more time to solve things..

and, or, not.

greater than, less than, equal too, less then and equal too.
^relational data operators !

a desk check is a way of manually stepping through a program and monitoring the change in variables.

test program.
tries to simulate unexpected values.

sample data.
data you expect will appear. to test its capability to work, stress test.

hertz - per second.
giga - bigger than mega, 1 000 000 000
mega - 1 000 000

when 'not' is the case, it is true ?

happy and sad / variables

and here is just some random code on variables, it really belongs somewhere else, but i'll fix that later !

we just were trying out some simple games here. the happy sad game is pretty simple and straightforward :)

heads and tails,

The first white box you se is a label but in the text part of the properties I've put a whole heap of spaces and made sure the background colour is white. The second box is a button where the text has been changed to 'CHECK'. The final box is a text box where the user can type somehing in. I put the following code into the code of the button.
If TextBox1.Text = "heads" Then Label1.Text = "win"
If TextBox1.Text = "tails" Then Label1.Text = "lose"
The code above is an example of selection. If you misspell heads or tails or use a capital letter then the label will stay the same as the last one.

A solution to this problm would be to use radio buttons because the user wouldn't type in something wrong. To put the radio buttons in I put in the following code:
If Heads.Checked = "true" Then Label1.Text = "win"

If Tails.Checked = "true" Then Label1.Text = "lose"
A user friendly programme should always allow for user input errors

ubuntu

OPERATING SYSTEM

USER

O.S
-hardware resources
-user assess
-manages software
-serves ; internert, orubtubg
-utility; backup, defragment

eg.
windows 7, vista, Wp
mac osx
linux ubuntu, open sourse, etc

BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM

versions of ubuntu

minumum specification - recommended
portable versions
google operating system
P.C

now more specifically to Ubuntu.. :)

Lynux is open source software so you are able to change it. this software is for free ;)
- has variety and ubuntu is one of the variations.
every 6 months they release a new one.
can run on any machine whether it be old or new so it is conveniently suited to make even your old computer look as good as a mac or windows operating system.
ubuntu loads of the cd or you can download the file on to a cd. install it from the internet and have double servers.
has open office which is also free and is compatiable with office. allowing you to open and save files also allowing them to be open or resaved to office and then with open office as well.
has its own ap store- the first ap store!

flowcharting

what is a flow chart?
a flow chart is a visual representation of the flow of data through the information processing system.
- decisions that are being made and the process.


Describe the basic flowchart symbols
A variable is a container that stores values.

with a rectangle- one arrow goes in and one comes out.
a diamond- making decisions- one arrow goes in and two come out- though the bottom and side. the text you put in the diamond can only be a yes or no answer or true or false.
the arrow joins another arrow and not the box. no lines coming back to a box and no lines that go diagonally.
always start with a start symbol and end with an end symbol.

With the decision making symbol (diamond) and the process symbol (rectangle), what are the rules for how many lines may enter and leave the symbol.
rectangle- one arrow goes in, one arrow comes out.
diamond- one arrow goes in, two arrows go out.

ariadne is too cool.

What is an Algorithm?

An unambiguous set of steps, which when performed correctly by a processor, will result in a process being carried out in a finite time.

For example if you were to explain to someone how to make a cup of coffee you would be defining an algorithm;

1. boil the water,
2. place coffee in the cup,
3. place sugar in the cup,
4. add the boiling water,
5. add milk,
6. stir.

1. Examine the algorithm above. What two properties of the algorithm enable it to correctly describe the solution to the problem of making a cup of coffee? What is it that makes an algorithm correct?(Hint: what would happen if you swapped step "6" and step "2"?)

2. Define Algorithms for the following processes.

Making toast and consuming.
1. buy bread.
2. buy toaster
3. buy topping
4.place bread in toaster
5. choose setting for idea toasting degree
6. press the toaster button thing down.
7. wait for the bread to toast.
8. take bread out of toaster
9. place toast on plate
10. dress your toast
11. place toast in hand
12. open mouth
13. place toast in open mouth
14. close mouth
15. chew
16 .repeat steps 12-15 until all consumed.
17. clean up.

Calling a friend on the phone.
1. gain friend
2.

no.

OMG.
my site fails.
everything works, aside from my music and slideshow.
i feel slightly better that this is happening to everyone else :/

i get why it's happening, it's because i changed the name of the root file, so my links are all retarded.. but since i'm such a quick thinker i changed the file name back.. BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK !

so i took it home, googled what i did, and there was the answer. because moving it accross would changed the name eg E:// to F://

^ problem.

so i moved it all to a CD, and changed all the links on that so when i hand it in to sir, everything will work !

...well i hope so. :)

no dispone de parking

the assignement is due tomorrow
fortunately i finished it yesterday :)
burnt it to a disk,
wrote my name on that disk.
gave that disk to the teacher.

i think that was a job well done.

interbam fam II

A URL is an address.
An IP address is a unique address each seperate machine has. Each one is expressed as 'octets' in a 'dotted decimal number'. For example: 218.27.10.194 The four numbers in an IP address are called octets because they have a value between 0 and 255. The browser communicates with a name server to translate the URL into a IP address which it uses to connect to the server machine.
Upload speed is how quickly your computer sends stuff to the internt and download speed is how quickly the internet sends stuff to your computer.
The units used to measure download and upload speed id bits and bytes.
Different locations offer different speeds because of how many computers are using the same

viva la germany

1) Name two programmes used for file compression.
WinZip and Stuffit.

2)What name is given to the file compression method that looks for redundant patterns?
Lossless and Lossy Compression

2.5)Why can't music be compressed efficiently with this type of compression technique?
music has lots of unique information so it can't be compressed much with this system because it doesn't have many repeating patterns.

3) What method of compression is most suited to graphics and music files?
The Lossless is better because it lets you recreate the original file exactly.

4) Name compressed file formats for the following media:
music- mp3 (it's compressed to roughly one-tenth the original size while maintaining a good quality).
still graphics- PNG uses ZIP compression, JPEG always uses lossy compression, GIF uses lossless.
video- WMV allows large video files to be compressed while retaining the rich quality of the video.

make the call, it's all you believe.

whats up ?

well i've been busy creating my website for my assignment.
right now, i've only really created my login and my menu which will be on every page, as a navigation guide.
it's really simple, and it's not that bad...but hey, it works perfectly which i'm very happy about.
here's alittle image ;)

i like the front.

1) What steps are recommended in planning your site?
Create a goal, just like in real life. Sketch out the structure of the site on paper beforehand, kinda like a thingy(oh darn, i forgot what it's called..i'll remember soon)

2) What is a web server?
A web server is a computer that runs special serving software.That software 'serves' HTML pages and associated files when requested by a client, such as a web browser. When you use your browser to visit a site, you typically make your request by entering a URL. When the server receives your request, it serves or downloads the page you need, like magic. well, the internet is magic, just saying :)

3) How do you put your website on a web server?
To put your site on a web server you publish it. Publishing generally means copying all of the files to a remote location on a server. In most cases the remote location is either an HTTP path or FTP path. The path you use depends on what technologies your server supports. If your web server is running Front Page Server Extensions or Share Point Services you would would publish you site to a HTTP location. For example, http://SabinesAwesomeServer/OhYesItIsSite. i'm so funny sometimes... :L

4) Front Page has 2 key functions- which would be website design and management. lovely :)

5) What is Front Page Metadata and which two folders contain these files?
Front Page metadata is information about your Front Page Website that makes managing the site possible. This data is used by Front Page to do all the great management features like creating & moving files, running reports and publishing. That's why you don't see all these files in Front Page because if you did see them they might get in the way of designing you site.
The _vti_cnf folder contains information about every file, such as which links are within the file and who modified the file and when. The _vti_pvt folder stores all the configuration inforamtion for the site, for example, which subsites are in the website and the permission configurations for the site.

6) There are 2 basic types of website that you can create in Front Page. What are they and how do they differ?

The 2 types are disk-based websites and server-based websites.
A disk-based website is a site you create on your local hard drive. After you design and work on your site you can later publish it to a remote location like a web server. Disk-based sites are most commonly used because they have a clear advantage: you can edit and test them on your hard drive before they go live.
A server-based website is a site that you create and work with directly on a web server. When you save your pages, the site is immediately updated. Some people refer to this as working with a website in real time.

ohh would you look at how productive i've been :)

assignmentt - musee :)

NOTES ! :D
make sure it all leads from the initial website. structure ;)
frontpage ; save everything to a folder, not the computer.. red boxes aren't fun.
javascrpitkit.com :)
very useful. ^
industry standard name ; defult.htm
resolution ; frontpage, right click, you can choose the resolution. DO IT ! 1024x768and state that on the website !
don't have .bmp images. TOO LARGE.
suggest .png ?
zipped format (file compression)
&& one page of the site will explore possible careers i want to pursue on IT. atleast 3 ?

DUE DATE ; WEEK 10, PERIOD 4.
23rd JUNE !

it's been awhile...

sorry, but we've just been doing all this hands on stuff and i haven't had time to blog, but now i do :)
first i'll tell you what we've been up too...
javascript.com
search; menu hover.
(the first one) but it's the most basic....try for a harder one ?
*you have to place it in the head part ;)

but the picture above is the login, which it really easy, once i realised to put all the pages into one folder. (remember MUST DO THIS IN FUTURE :)

it's really basic, becasue the aim was to get the hang of it, and i think i did quite well :)

^ was done in notepad.

&& we've also been trying out frontpage, which is cool, but i like notepad better, it's more straightforward.

the fambam ;)

What is meant by a netbook? What is the 'cloud' in cloud computing?

A netbook is a cheap *not really* (under $500), mini laptop however they can't handle extensive multi-tasking, they have minimal storage, cramped keyboards and small screens with bad resolutions. Cloud computing is used to allow services used in everyday practice to be moved onto the internet rather than stored on a local computer.

What applications does Google docs offer online? Why would you want documents stored in the 'cloud' online?

You can create documents, spreadsheets and presentations online. You can do all the basics like making bulleted lists, sorting by column, adding tables, images, comments, formulas, changing fonts, bold, underline, indent or changing background colour.
If you have your documets online you can invite people to view or edit it when they sign in so it's good for group work. You only need a computer with the internet and it has an auto-save feature. You can control who sees it.

What advantages do students and teachers find in Google docs?

It's easy to prepare assignments, meetings, chat online and organise schedules, even within groups. Even without thier USB or hard-drive they can still do the assignment or take notes for it. One teacher added the power points to it and in the chat part of it, the students chatted about the presentatin and asked questions about it.

Which netbook, if any, would suit your needs? Explain.

I would like die if i had the Acer Ferrari One. Mainly because it is beautiful.. And it also has a really good battery life which means that I can do an assignment for a long time without it dying on me or having an annoying bubble to tell me to connect it to the power point. It has a good memory so I can store plenty of school work on it. It is light for a computer so I can carry it around with me easily. And have i mentioned it's STUNNING.

do you java ?

What is Java Script?
Javascript is a programming language that is used to make web pages interactive. It runs on your visitor's computer and so does not require constant downloads from your web site.

What is Object Oriented Programming (OOP)?
Well OOP is a computer science term used to characterize a programming language. It began in the 1960's and Xweox PARC used it to designate a computer application that describes the methodology of using objects as the foundation for computation.

What three components make up OOP?
weeell, O & O & P :L
Inheritance, Abstraction, Polymorphism, Event Handling and Encapsulation are also significant concepts within object-oriented programming languages. i'm not sure if thats the right answer, but it's all that google is giving me :(

Give an example of an object, a method and an event.

ohh would you look at that...the bell went, shame.

look below... :)

i've just realised i forgot to screenshot my first html page...
but the second one, or third one... because i kinda failed for a bit, is under :)

quizlet.com
this is just some fun that we had in class, and it's educational...

but i just played some games in germal, which was harder than expected considering i don't know german...
&& it's an online memorization tool that was created in october 2005 :)

which was like, 5 years ago. wow.

And back to ist work, we made html pages, and ^ is minee...i'm sorry that the pictures weird, this new paint in windows 7 is kinda freaking me out. whilst making this, i used the www3school website, which i think is just wonderful as it basically gives you all the information, all you have to do it customise.

*and i put in abit extra...i put in a form !

define the term - protocol ;
the rules that determine the format and transmission of data between computers

what are the following protocols used for ?
TCP/Ip ; Transmition Control Protocal is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet to send packets of data safely
http; Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the protocol for transfer of web pages. it defines how the browser should respond to some commands
smtp; Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. the protocol used for sending e-mail messages.

what does GUI stand for? What was used before GUI?
Graphic User Interface. &&

there are two methods of data transmissions - serial and parallel. explain the difference between them.

in parallel transmission, multiple bits are sent simultaneously on different channels within the same cable, or radio path, and synchronized to a clock. Parallel devices have a wider data bus than serial devices and are able to transfer data in words of one or more bytes at a time.
in serial tranmissionn bits are sent sequentially on the same channel which reduces costs for wire but also slows the speed of transmission.

define the term URL. explain the components that make up the url.
Uniform Resource Locator
the first part of the address is called the protocol identifer and it indicates what protocol to use.
the second part is called a resource name and it specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

in the context of data transmissions, what is error dection? name and exxplain one common method of error dection?
The detection of errors. It is a class of techniques for a computer to detect funny messages that have gone all funny and garbled. A common method is checksum. Each message is transmitted with a number in a formula and the recieveing place puts that same formula in to get that number. If it the same then there has been no funny mixed up messages being sent.

what is HTML and explain why it is important ?
Hyper Text Markup Language. It is important because it is the coding used to make web documents as it defins the structure and layout of the document as well as the content

parlez vous francais

how did the internet originate? gain a technological, and potentially a military advantage over the Soviets in the middle of the cold war.
who were the people most responsible for creating it? Tim Burten Lee, and the united states fovernment Advanced Research Projects Agency in 1958.
what system immediately preceded the internet?
what was it's purpose? Internet Protocol is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork.
what is an IP packet? what is it comprised of? it's like a transporter, where information is disassembled into small blocks of data, sent independently to the destination address, then put back together at the receiving end. Each block of data is known as an IP packet. And it is comprised of an IP header followed by a variable-length data friend.
what does TCP stand for? How does TCP deal with the lost IP packets ?
Transmission Control Protocol, and they request retransmissions of lost packets, rearranges out-of-order packets, and even helps minimize network congestion to reduce the occurrence of the other problems.

the interbam.

the wonderful internet :)

what makes it so essential?

online banks.
social networking sites. - communication with people who live far away from you. used by industry buisnesses to promote. professional exchange of ideas.
blogs. - ideas. promotion.
online shops. (ebay, buisness, stores) they use it to sell and promote their products.
online advertising.
educational purposes. eg. google -posting, sharing,
job seeking.
entertainment. eg, youtube.

the whole idea of a new of communication. (protocol)

and here's some stuff that i learnt from the video/animation thingy ;;

1957- batch processing. one things at a time. remote connection needed.
october4 1957- DARPA. accelerate information sharing.
foundatins of internet - sceince, military, money.
packet switching. objects are sent in parts.
inter-net; the sharing of networks.
phone companies developed the (something) protocol.
1990february- internet up and running.

and this could be the end of us

>:(

the 's' dive has decided to hate on us, just like last lesson, so no assignment working today..

but here is the theory part of our asignment..

oh wait, i was about to write my storyboard, but no, because i can't save it.

but here is alittle sample of my wonderful yet-to-be-finished assignment :)

i'm sending all my love to you

a s s i g n m e n t - p a r t a

Question One;
What ethical/legal issues need to be considered when implementing this database.
the type of language in the song, there might be bad language.
the images you display/songs - copyright, you need to get permission to display those images from the publishers, eg. sony

Question Two;
Discuss what advantages such a system has over conventional methods of organizing and previewing music?
you can search through any genre at any time, you can view mutlipul tracks at the touch of a button, it saves time that would be waisted if you had to flick through every album in the whole store.

Question Three;
Create a "data dictionary" for your database.
discription of field, name of field, data type (image, number, etc.)

Question Four;
"Storyboard" how the user will navigate through your database, ie. the path from user follows to get from one form to the next.

it's now or never

&& it's that time of the term again, where the assignment comes into play.
we basically have to make a prototype of a database which main intent is to be used by a owner of a music store.
i'm thinking of using around 15 songs in it...

and it'll need to have
-song title
-artist
-album
-genre
-duration
-album cover
-sound sample file
-release date

mmmmmmmmm, i think i'll use a few of my favourite songs for this assignment :)

emotion sickness - silver chair
haven't met you yet - michael bublé
you might have noticed - the academy is
thanks for the memories - fall out boy
waking up in vegas - katy perry
sound of madness - shinedown
jesus of suburbia - green day
fall for you - secondhad serenade
decode - paramore
how to save a life - the fray
funhouse - pink
the antidote - story of the year
resistance - muse
last night on earth - green day
time is running out - muse

i'm starting to like this assignment :)

love, i just haven't met you yet

bits and bytes ;)

1. what is a digit ? a digit is a single place that can hold a numerical value between 0 and 9. Digits are normally combinded together in groups to create larger numbers.

2. you may be asking what is the base 1o system ? The base-10 number system is known as the decimal number system. but be warned, they are extremely expensive.

3.where does the word bit originate from? it's like a failed attempt at an acronym 'binary digit'

4.how would you write 4,321? well i'd write it as 4,321..but you could also write it as; (4 * 1000) + (3 * 100) + (2 * 10) + (1 * 1) = 4000 + 300 + 520 + 1

5.write the following numbers in binary (base 2)

21 = 10101 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 4) + (1 x 1)= 21 (base 10)
24 = 11000 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 8) = 24 (base 10)
30 = 11110 (base 2) = (1 x 16) + (1 x 8) + (1 x 4) + (1 x 2) = 30 (base 10)

6. what is a byte? a byte is a sequence of 8 bits processed as a single unit of information

7. How many bytes in a kilo, mega, giga and tera bytes.

1 kilo: 1024 bytes
1 mega: 1048576 bytes
1 giga: 1073741824 bytes
1 tera byte: 1099511627776 bytes

and there are some extra questions, which i attempted, but the numbers were too large and freaked me out, so i didn't do them :/

you are, the only exception

weeeeeeeeeeeeeell, hasn't it been awhile.
tomorrow, basically we are just going to present our 'mini projects'.

and i've decided that i shall do some tasks, well task 5 in particular.
&& let's create a form :)


weeeeeeeeell, first you open up the database window then go to forms which is under objects. click new. then a window will open and you chose one of the autoforms or wizards. I chose to use the form 'wizard'.
&& in the drop down thing (sorry, i don't know what it's called) you then choose which table or query you want the information to come from and click okay, then another screen will open and you double click which fields you want to be shown and click next.
you then have to chose which format you want it to be shown in and click next. you then get to choose which background you want and click next. finally you name the form and click finish.
you are able to go through all the records with only the selected fields showing or go to the first or last record in the file.

here is my wonderful example :)


seriously, i can't upload ! i am going to go home and try it from there, because i need to upload my work to prove that i don't just sit around and do nothing all lesson.

passing by you, light up my darkest skies

spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam :)

just so you know, this is a mini project, not an assignment :)
ummm, i'm working with ariadne in this just like old times.. and there are six dot points we have to complete, so ariadne is going to do numbers;1,3,5 and i shall complete;2,4,6 and next lesson we are going to converge and create a powerpoint?

2. How are databass involved in this topic? they store your email address so they can send you pointless emails to try and scam you. they find your email by say lets 'google search' they just scan through emails, and store it on their databases.

4. Describe some of the ways in which this data can be misused. This type of data can be misused due to that people give their information away believing that they will get something in return, when in reality they only just get pestered with annoying emails, and in some cases, lose their identity.

6. What are the legal responsibilities. Well, spammers don't really have legal responsibilioties

so i can lose my memory

well as of right now i shall be creating a database as stated in activity 4.0 :)
upload next lesson :)

weeeeell, this is a sample database that i created.

you've got a riot on your hands

you've got yourself a wild card ;)

a wild card query is one that shows all records matching the same letter or information provided. and it doesn't even require to be a full name or number. it can be as simple as the first letter of the name/surname you are looking for and have an asterics before/after that.
eg. *X (this wild card will show all records that end in the letter X.)
if it was X* (this would show all records that start with the letter X)

i won't give up, i won't let you down.

queries can be an "and" query or an "or" query.

"and" - both conditions must be true

"or" - at least one condition must be true

here are some answers to some questions about some query.. and wasn't that vague

Question 11. What sort of information has the query selected? all information that matched the query, for example in the picture above shows all the people who's postcode is 2010 in my database.

Question 12. We can alter any query as follows... What sort of information has this second query selected? It goes into further detail, basically meaning that the people in the database will have more specific details in common.

how can this be, it was all so simple then

task 3.1, ah boo-ya :)
creating a basic database... ... the address book
well, i can't exactly show you that i'm watching a tutorial, but i am..
and probably next lesson (which you won't really know, because i'll use this post ;) i shall create a database titled 'address book'.

welcome to the wonderful world of narnia :)

&& there are different types of databases, the 'and' query or an 'or' query.

for an 'and' query both conditions must be true opposed to an 'or' query where at least one must be true. for example, they live in sydney or they are born in 1990.

&& this is how i made the address book :)
so as the address book was saved as a table. I was now to click on the query tab, then new. I was then to drag all the fields into the field coloumn in my query table. then I was to type in one of the poscodes from my address book into the credits coloumn. then save the query.

doneeeeeeeeeeeee, wow, i just flew through that :)

iss never happen before

database activity: the yellow pages :)

now, you may been asking now, what exactly is a database ?
and now, i shall tell you :)
(just to tell you now, I've started using LOTS of smiley faces, because they're really nice and happy)

A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. Very useful :)

now, you may be wondering, what are some examples of databases..well, you know when you go to a library, and they scan the book you want to borrow, i think it's called a catalogue, that's a database.

now here are some questions :) (see i told you i really like smiley faces)

Question One; I know there is a computer shop in the main street of Katoomba (Katoomba St.), but I don’t know its name. See if you can find the number for me.
well, i don't think i'm meant to give you the address, so i'll tell you how to find it on yellowpages.com. First, you would type 'computer shops' in the business type section, then tell yellowpages (not verbally) that it is located in katoomba street, then it'll direct you to all the computer shops in katoomba. easy, simple and efficient :)

Question Two; Is the yellow pages a database? of course it is silly :) because as stated above, it is a collection of data thaat is organised, and can be used easily and efficiently.

Question Three; Advantages of the electronic internet yellow pages? it's more economic as you don't have to print millions of copies to hand out to every house hold which means it's better for the environment because we're not cutting down as many trees, they can actually show you where the store is, because there is a map, which you can print out, and of course, the address/phone number :)

Question Four; Disadvantages/dangers. wow, that just makes it seem evil now doesn't it. Some of these are, not everyone has internet, hence no yellowpages.com. also that we realised that it is quite easy to stalk someone because all you need to know is their last name, and type it into the search, and bam; you have their address :/

doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
