Networks and the Internet (16/3/15)

In today's theory lesson, we learned about Networks and the Internet. This included things such as Intranets and Extranets, both of which the definitions I was unfamiliar with, and learned the difference between the World Wide Web and the Internet (the content and the technology, respectively).

I'm pretty much happy with this lesson. So yeah.

Programming Lesson 2 (22/09/14)

In today's lesson, we looked into some of the basic functions available in Visual Studio. First of all, we discussed the components of various lines of code, identifying Data Types, Variable Declarations, Expressions, Arithmetical Operators and Selection Statements. We then studies the two main selection statements in detail; If Statements and Case Statements. An IF statement looks like this; If Age >= 18 Then   MsgBox("You are an adult.") Else   MsgBox("You are a child.") End If While a Case Statement goes like this; Select Case Age Case 0 to 17     MsgBox("You are a child.") Case Else   MsgBox("You are an adult.") End Select If statements are more generally used, but Case statements are useful if many possibilities are to be considered, to avoid lengthy If statements. Towards the end of the lesson, we moved on to trying out our own VB programs, performing calculations, such as subtracting the inside area of a circl...

Sorting (17/3/15)

In today's lesson, we learned about Bubble Sorting, Linear Search and Binary Sorting. After practically demonstrating these, we then went on to program some applications on VB; one using bubble sorting and the second using Linear Search. I completed most of the first exercise, but was unable to complete the last extension at the time, where we had to make a button which would step through each pass of the sort each time it was pressed. Because of the way I have looped the program in order to make it more "efficient" as requested by the previous extension (although I don't personally see what difference it made), I am unable to keep both this feature and the step button; the two cannot coexist in my program. The second task I didn't get very far on because the lesson ended. I'm pretty much happy with everything from the lesson today. And that's about the final word. Except for this one; trumpet.
