Why I am at MATC

Hello! My name is Noel Dominguez, I am 20 years old and I am currently enrolled in the IT mobile application developer program at MATC. 

 I am at MATC because since I was little I had a passion for technology. I was always seen as the “techie” guy from my family. I always liked taking old electronics apart just to see how things worked from the inside and ever since I was introduced to computers my love for technology grew even greater. While at high school that part of me only got stronger, my passion led me on a iphone repairing business that involved the tweaking of iphones internally(jailbreak) and externally. After graduating high school I devoted my time and developed a game based on a twitter trend. I managed to publish this game on iOS, Google and Amazon app stores within a few months, not to mention achieving this with not one clue on how to code.

I am currently in my second semester in the IT mobile apps developer program, not only because technology has been a part of my life, but for the reason that I want to contribute my passion to the growth of technology. My main goal is to strengthen my programming skills and hopefully that will take me somewhere.

WHILE and IF statements

A while loop statement will repeatedly execute a statement as long as the given condition is true. If the while loop's condition is set to true then the program will go into the loop, and will keep looping as long as that condition remains true. For example: int score = 15; while (score  <  20)       {             Console.WriteLine("value of score: {0}"), score;              score++;        }        Console.ReadLine(); In this example the program will go into the loop for as long as the value of score is less than 20. Once it's in the loop it will increment the value of score by one, then it will check if a is still less than 20. Once the value of score reaches 20, it will no longer go into the loop as the condition will no longer ...

The importance of sharing data between functions/methods, and their scope.

It is important that functions/methods share data between a class because in programming you will be having a lot of methods that will need to share data to function correctly. For example, if you had to calculate different types of data with equations, you would have the calculations being done in one method then transfer only the calculated data to a display method. If data isn't shared between these two classes then only the calculation method will have the data, and no other methods can access it, making it difficult to use that data to perform more tasks. The scope refers to the portion of the program a variable is visible, as well as where it can only be used. It is referred to where a variable can be read from and/or written to, in other words where the variable lives. Visibility compared to scope is where the variables can be used and shared. We can set where a variable can be accessed with three different options, public, private and protected. This is important becau...

MATC Event Planner Project

In my IT Project management class I had to work with team mates to create a project that we could essentially propose in the real world. The project we created was an event planner that MATC organizations could use to create events, since there is no streamlined system in place today. During this process I learned the different methodologies that people can use to create and successfully develop a project. The time I spent in creating and working with my team in this project has taught me the importance of planning a project instead of jumping into it right away.    Here is the link to my final project's proposal document:  Project Proposal Project Presentation
