    Hi everyone, welcome to my seventh blog! This week I will be reflecting on a few resources that I read in the Module 7 lecture material of CST 300 Major ProSeminar alongside some of the tasks we had this week.

  • Part 1: Final Video Project Planning Reflection
    • In our meeting with my team this week, we discussed how to go about completing the Final Video Project. After considering a few different possibilities, we decided it would be best to split our project into five main parts: Introduction, Political, Technological, Economical, and Conclusion. Our topic, the AI race between the USA and China, has implications in all three of these sectors. I am tasked with writing the conclusion for the video, which means that I am responsible for recapping what's already been said alongside adding our group's own remarks regarding this race.
  • Part 2: Summarization of the week's lecture
    • In this week's lecture material, there are a lot of resources that are useful for curating presentations, a skill that is important for our final project. First, there is the rubric for the project. This document outlines more precisely what skills and content are expected. There is also a link to TED.com, an organization that has hosted a presentation for just about any topic imaginable. There is a humorous corporate comedy video titled "Life After Death by PowerPoint" Finally, there is a nice resource on visual aids and props that are useful when presenting physically or digitally.

That is all for this week, see you in my Week 8 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...
