Computer Systems! Raspberry PI, compared to Normal PC

Here is a raspberry PI Motherboard, and a typical windows PC motherboard.

Event driven programming

 Here is an image of basic VB code, of a basic form. This is the first time i have used VB.

First Procedural Programming lesson!

In today’s first Procedural Programming lesson, we were introduced to python. We practiced creating basic commands, and eventually created our own application. Which is the Age calculator, as shown below. I found these lesson’s very interesting, and am keen to learn this Programming Language.

SMART Targets!

Today in Tutorial we were set a task of choosing 3 different targets, the targets i have choosen are as follows:
-Be full equipped for the lesson
-Make more time to prepare for class
-Make more time for homework

I think out of all the targets on the sheet of paper, these are the ones which apply to me the most.

Systems Analysis and Design, First lesson (Waterfall Model)

Today’s first lesson with Systems Analysis we took a look at the Waterfall model. This is basically a sequential design process, which is often used in software development processes. It’s a fairly basic process model, and is relatively easy to understand, considering that there are 5 main processes which need to be met to enable the waterfall model to be successful. 

History of the Internet

  Basically i researched the origins of the internet, and created a valid timeline from the start of the internet to the current day.

I created the timeline on a piece of software called ‘tiki toki’

Internet Use questionnaire

Here we have two graphs which i have created using primary data which i have collected myself from the students at Weymouth college.
The graphs determine the purpose thew students use the internet for, and how long they use it for.  Here are the Graphs:

Graphics Software

              In today’s lesson we determined the difference between Bitmap and Vector Images.  And basically Bitmap images are a type of computer file which is used to store pictures; these pictures are made up of loads of tiny blocks which are called Pixels. And a vector image is basically I a solid colour, it’s all one image. This means it’s not an image made up of pixels. Also the resolution is a massive difference, vectors are resolution independent, so the image could be re-sized to any size and without the blockiness you’d get if you were to try and stretch a bitmap image too much.

First time i have ever created a blog, it’s easy. And the customization settings are fun to play around with.
