Documenting a Day

    Thanks to this assignment, I could really dig into these applications and try them out in detail. I was able to see which I would prefer to work with versus one that I may choose not to. In this essay, I will compare the functions of Word processors, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and database applications and the disadvantages and advantages of each application. 

           The functions of each of these applications vary from application to application. Word has a ton of options at your fingertips as far as how you want something to be typed and processed. It also gives you the assistance with the editor and word count functions. Excel, to me, is a data processing application that you can input statistics and have them formulated for you automatically, pending the formula you use. This is great for business applications and anywhere you may need to produce numbers. PowerPoint is an excellent tool for office use as its primary purpose is presentation. You can create personal slides and spice them up with animations and transitions to show people information. To me it makes it easier to understand when it's in a power point, and someone is walking you through it. 

           They all have their advantages and disadvantages to me. I would personally choose PowerPoint to document the information about my day. It is easy for the end user to understand, in my opinion. It makes seeing the slides and animation fun rather than just reading a document. To me, that is the main advantage over the others. As far as a disadvantage, I would say that excel wins when it comes to pure numbers. Something that should be mentioned is that you can incorporate word and excel into the PowerPoint as well if you feel so inclined. 

           This was a fun assignment, and I enjoyed going through all these different applications. I was able to see which I would prefer to work with versus one that I may choose not to. In this essay, I compared the functions of Word processor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and database applications. I could also see the disadvantages and advantages of each application.

Applying Algorithmic Design and Data Structure Techniques

 Java Newbie? Come on In! Today we will be talking about applying algorithmic design and data structure techniques in developing structured programs. Do not fret; I intend to take you through this as a newbie to a newbie would! First, we need to understand what algorithmic design and data structure techniques are. A data structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data so that it can be used efficiently. Arrays, trees, linked lists, stacks, graphs, etc. are all data structures that allow us to perform different operations on data. Algorithm design is simply just a collection of different steps that will lead you to the correct output. The two work hand in hand by influencing each other more specifically the design of the end result.  Are some algorithms and data structure designs better than others? In my opinion yes they absolutely can be. It is highly definitive on the desired output that you are seeking. Both of these complement each other to prod...

Summary Blog Post     Understanding the fundamental concepts underlying operating systems provides a solid foundation for comprehending the features, structures, and mechanisms employed by contemporary operating systems. This knowledge is valuable for a range of roles involving system administration, software development, and working with computer systems in various domains.     While being in this course, I have gained new insights into how operating systems theory works as well as understanding the fundamental concepts that underlie operating systems. When these concepts combine, they form the foundation for the design and functionality of contemporary operating systems. Below are my responses for the final questions for this course. I will say that this course was a vast venture into how the theory and design of operating systems truly work and function.  Describe Features of Contemporary Operating Systems and Their Structures     St...
