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:

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...

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 ...
