The use of libraries are an important part of coding.

A library in programming code is a collection of similar objects that are stored for occasional use.  It is a collection of reusable and precompiled programming routines that the programmer can "call" when writing code so that the programmer can just use and not have to write it.
Frameworks are reusable software environments that provide functionality to facilitate development of software applications, products and solutions. They can include compilers, code libraries, tool sets and application program interfaces to help the development of projects and solutions. A namespace are structured hierarchies that serve to allow the reuse of different names in different contexts, and have a purpose of avoiding name collisions between multiple identifiers that share the same name. A class is like a blueprint, it is basically set of instructions that define how an object looks and its specifications, they can store things and do things. Finally method is a series of statements that together perform a task.
There is a hierarchical structure because it makes programming easier to perform. It keeps everything well organized for you to program and without it things would be harder to develop. If you have errors, for example, it is easier to find them with the hierarchy because you can see exactly where it is and not have code scrambled around, so it saves you time.

Libraries are used in compiling to contain the source files and save the programmer time by reusing code instead of having to write code again. I have not found specific comparisons of the library structures of  c# with java and c++ but I have noticed that more people prefer C# library structures and I hope to see why as I learn.

Your Online Life, Permanent As a Tattoo

View TED Talk Link Watching this TED talk titled “Your Online Life, Permanent As a tattoo” talks about how the use of social media can be the same as having a personal tattoo. Juan Enriquez, the main speaker, begins the presentation by using visual pictures of what tattoos can represent in a person's life. Using pictures, he shows the audience that tattoos can be beautiful, intriguing, intimate and also builds humor by stating that they can be mistakes. After showing the audience these different types of tattoos, he starts to question them about what if social sites and services were to become personal tattoos. At this point he begins to add more information on how the way we express ourselves on  social media can impact and create our  “Electronic Tattoo”. Juan states how difficult it is to get away from our electronic tattoos, since forms of technology, like facial recognition are getting better and better at recognizing people's faces. He adds up that if someone...

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 ...

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
