September 30 Listening Is 50% of programmingThe first thing you will learn in a college information systems or project management class is that the user is the first thing you need to examine rather than the existing system you are trying to update or replace. From there you are challenged with others around you as the project is developed. But than again these problems all steam from communication with your colleagues. View the following illustration and at each panel comment on what might have gone wrong or right with that step. Also, if you had to blame a single person who would it be and who do you think programmers are more likely to blame? Please leave your name when commenting. I will create a turnitin.com assignment page since you guys like writing so much. September 22 What's Your MotivationIn the following article the topic of motivation is discussed. While this does not directly speak about web applications or programming it does give you a clearer understanding on how to stay focused on your work no matter what subject.
To be a programmer can sometimes be very boring even though we enjoy the work, we become unmotivated. For this assignment please read the article and as you go over "Phase I: starting out" answer each of the points the author makes and whether you do that already.
We will come back to this article later in the year for the second phase.
Please leave your name when posting a comment. September 04 A Little ResearchFor your first assignment of the year I would like you to begin to understand what web applications are and how we come across them every day on the Internet.
So in 500 words or more please explain what a web application is and cite some real world examples. Also, words like Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 are thrown around a lot today, but what do you they exactly mean. Then try a recall a web site that has undergone a Web 2.0 change over and explain what changes took place. Try to focus on some of the details rather than the whole picture.
This will be due on September 18th. You can either submit your paper in class or just paste your essay into this web blog. Either way we will discuss your essays and try to work out a solid understanding of Web Application.
Please leave your name when submitting.
Good luck. |
