Three most important things about CST 363 Intro to Database Systems

1. Because this is an introduction class, one of the most important things as a student was the introduction to all of the terminology involved in database planning, implementing, and maintaining.  Anyone looking for a future career in data would know precisely what to study more after this class.

2. This should go without saying but, being introduced to the SQL language is also a significant part of this class.  Even though it is just a start, learning the syntax of SQL teaches enough to continue to practice and become proficient.

3. The final most important thing about this course was the quality of the assignments.  The assignments made it easy to be introduced to new topics because they all used real-world examples such as the Zagimor database schema relating to a retail store or the hafhmore database schema relating to rental management systems.  Being able to work with data that is easy to understand as well as easy to visualize in the real world made studying and working on these assignments much better.

This week I was troubleshooting an issue that arose from the previous week's work.  The layout of the page was affected forcing all of the content to the bottom of the page rather than the top.  This was fixed by implementing CSS directly into the div tag as I did not want to change any of the global CSS files.  Next, I plan on looking through the issues page and selecting some bugs/features to implement.  I did not face any challenges this week, mostly trial and error until I solved the issue.

 The Agile and Plan and Document (Waterfall) processes are very different.  In the Agile process, iterations or sprints are used to complete smaller tasks rapidly whereas the Waterfall process follows a predetermined timeline for deliveries.  The Waterfall process is usually used for very large projects and takes much longer due to each delivery being reliant on the previous one.  Also Waterfall process uses a large chunk of time to rigorously plan everything at the beginning of the process whereas Agile allows for changes throughout the process because of the smaller deliveries each sprint.  This allows for quick and simple testing of each delivery versus the Waterfall process that usually begins to test near the end of the final deliveries because again each delivery relies on resources from the previous.

  How does React compare to other frameworks you have used for front end development?  I have not had much experience with front end development frameworks.  I have had little experience with JavaScript and HTML.  One thing I noticed about React that is helpful is the ability to have HTML embedded directly into JavaScript rather than have numerous HTML files and JavaScript files.  This is useful in maintaining readable code and code that is easily navigated.
