    Hi everyone, welcome to my fifth blog! This week I will be reflecting on a few resources that I read in the Module 5 lecture material of CST 300 Major ProSeminar alongside some of the tasks we had this week. I also conducted an industry expert interview with my father who is a Director of Information Technology. If you are interested in seeing my report on that, click here.

  • Part 1: Support and Comment on Teammates' Goals
    • This week, students were tasked with commenting feedback on two of my teammates' education and career goals from last week. Below you can find links to the two blog posts that I commented on.
  • Part 2: Possible Capstone Ideas
    • Earlier this week, I met with my team to discuss possible ideas for our capstone project. We considered many ideas, including projects related to video games, artificial intelligence, and a webapp. Out of these three, our team seems to agree on creating a complex webapp as most of us seem to have prior experience in that area.
  • Part 3: Summarization of the week
    • In addition to the material learned through this week's lecture material, students had the opportunity to play around with AI by prompting it to create an analysis for Stakeholder 2 in the Ethics essay. Like the weeks prior, I also furthered my learning on teamwork and groups via OLI Modules 6 and 7. Our group also came up with three topics for the final project, those being AI race and development: USA vs China, Practices of Telecom Companies (Issue), and Cryptography in the Quantum Age. Of these topics, the most popular was the AI race between the USA and China and is also the one our instructors approved.

That is all for this week, see you in my Week 6 post!

Week 32 (8/13/2025 - 8/15/2025)

     (Click on READ MORE for better formatting)      Hi everyone, welcome to my 32nd  blog!  This is the Week 8 post for CST 334 Operating Systems. Write a 1-2 paragraph journal post, of at least 250 words, summarizing what your biggest takeaways from CST334 were, including any major challenges or topics you found particularly interesting. One of the major challenges in this class (at least for me) was wrapping my head around some of the long math-style problems that have been seen throughout the course. Thankfully, I was able to get a lot of practice with these through labs, ungraded practice quizzes, Midterm Preparation Quiz, and Final Exam Preparation Quiz. In addition, members of my team were able to help me better understand what was needed to tackle these problems. For example, Wootark Kim (Tom) made a step by step video for me and the rest of Silicon Surfers that explained how to do CPU scheduling problems featuring the RoundRobin policy. V...

     (Click on READ MORE for better formatting)      Hi everyone, welcome to my 41st-48th  blogs!  This is the Week 1-8 post for CST 336 Internet Programming. Similarly to CST 311 Introduction to Computer Networks, while journal entries were not required  for this particular course, I wanted to document the concepts and assignments from each week of class. If you would like to see some of these projects for yourself, this link acts as a homepage to visiting all of the projects described below! https://bevans34.github.io Week 1: HTML and CSS This week's primary focus was on learning/practicing creating a website using H yper T ext M arkup L anguage (HTML) and C ascading S tyle S heets (CSS). Highlights from this week included centering a <div>, which is probably one of the biggest memes to ever come out of web development. Labs: 1 - ePortfolio Site In this lab, I created a site hosted on GitHub Pages that features a homepage, about page,...

Week 24 (6/18/2025 - 6/22/2025)

       (Click on READ MORE for better formatting)      Hi everyone, welcome to my 24th  blog!  This is the Week 8 post for CST 363 Introduction to Database Systems. Briefly summarize what you consider to be the three (3) most important things you learned in this course. How to query in MySQL and MongoDB, including select, insert, update, and delete. This also includes advanced querying techniques, such as subselect. Understanding schema structure of MySQL and MongoDB. After all, for the above to work you need a schema to create/use the database and establish table structures! Creating EER diagrams can also be bundled into this section as it is related to schema creation. How to take database systems and turn them into real-world solutions. For instance, using the JDBC API to create a webapp with a MySQL or MongoDB foundation. This was explored in group labs 19 and 21. That is all for this week, see you in my Week 25  post! Onwards to CST...
