Igoogle

Igoogle is a personalized web page. As you can tell from the title this is a service from google. There is a number of things that you can do on this webpage. You can add photos, news, weather and stuff from across the web to your page.
The igoogle gadgets interact with the user. Some of these include:

• Framed Photos = which displays a series of photos
• Google gram = the creation of special daily messages
• Daily me = it displays the current mood of the user
• youtube channel = displays videos from youtube
• countdown = a countdown timer

AND MANY MORE.
there is alot of stuff that are useful.

Themes can be also changed. You can select themes are best representing yourself. There is quite a big range of themes to pick from.

Overall i think it is a great webpage.

Programming Assesment Task Documentation

Introduction
The purpose or problem that the Pogram Visual Basic is undertaking is to see who wins the game of noughts and crosses. It is to accomodate the players with pleasure. This game is to especially entertain 2 players per game. When the 2 players decide on who is noughts and who is crosses the game will begin,  the program will automatically tell you who wins. they decide who is nougths and who is crosses they would begin the game. Also The program will tell whos turn it is next.


Algorithm outlining the Program
My flowchart below shows on how the game of noughts and crosses, the works of the game.

Explanation of Data Tyes used
Text;
ElseIf Button4.text = "X" And Button5.text = "X" And Button6.text = "X" Then
MsgBox("Player X wins!1")
Label6.Text += 1
Call disablebuttons( )
This label is a text variable. This label is needed for people to see what is happening with the game .
There is also a button for instructions involving text, score and  the outcome in whether you won, lost or drew, involving text.

Integer;
Dim turn As Integer


Control Structure examples
Sequence;
 This section is to be placed at the beginning of the coding section. Without this section the program will not work.

Selection;
If Button1.text = "X" And Button2.text = "X" and Button3.text = "X" Then
Msgbox("Player X Wins!!")
Label6.text +=
Call disablebuttons ( )
This part of the coding is the selection which involves and and if. This tells the computer that it is compulsory to make the selection out of these.\
Also another way of selection to take action is by starting a new game and that is by clicking New Game.

Repetiton:
There is no repetition in my game, however by playiong the game over and over again,


Use of Error Detection
The program of Visual Basic stops error by restricting the chances and benefit the user to enter the incorrect values. I have made my game to prevent any failures that may take place during this game.

Hi Lo Guessing game

I was away yesterday so i have no clue in what to do but when i asked someone for help it just clicked to me.
So here is a screen shot of my project.

Generating a number generator

So today i am going to owrk on this. It looks hard let us see  how i am going to cope with it.
So i basically opened up a new project in visual basic. i made a form with a button and a text box. I double clicked the button and i pasted this code in:

So here are screen shots of my final prooject:

HOW KOOL!!

• The function Randomize is  to initialize Visual Basic's random number generator. This is to avoid the same sequence of psuedo-random values.
• RND is a function of Visual Basic. This is used to return pseudo-random values. The RND is also used to bring back the pseudo- number.

*pseudo= most computers don't generate truly random values. Computers use complex mathematical formulas to generate values which look random by aren't. Formulas are complex, they are still predictable. Random numbers generated by computers can be thought of a very, very long list of values. The computer always return the values in the same order, but it doesn't always start at the same place of the list.

Variables

Variables are "containers" for values that can be used by a program. Varibales can contain numbers or text. Variables are given names sot hey can be referred to in the programming code.

 

                                                        Making these were soo fun and interestingg.

Programming Terminolgy;

Programming terminology is sooo funn!!


My topic is Samples using selection and repetition. This is what i wrote;

These are some samples of selection and repetition. The selection control allows the statement to be executed if it is true and the other set to be executed if it is false. The repetition control is known as the looping control structure. It repeatedly executes one or more steps of an algorithm or program.

Heads and Tails

This activity was quite interesting. I had some difficulties but them realised in what i did; I DIDNTREAD THE TASK PROPERLY.
So here arre some screen shots of my finished work.

UBUNTU;-
Ubuntu is an operating system(like windows7, vista and windows xp) where the internet is part of it. It stands between the pc and the user. It communicates what you want the computer do to and it will automatically do it.

• looks after the hradware resources
• login system is operated by giving access to certain username logins
• manages software, manages services.
• Lynux- open source software(you would be able to change it and it is for free).
•  6 months they release a new one.
• can run on any machine whether it is old or new
• Ubuntu  loads or can download the file onto a cd.
• has its own app store.

Questions:

1. versions of ubuntu?
2. minimum specification(recommended)
3. Portable

Algorithms

An algorithm is an ambiguous set of steps, which when performed correctlty by a professor, will result in a process being carried out in a finite time.

• POSTING LETTER-

9. Close flap on envelope
10. stick down with stickytape
11. Walk to post box   OR
12. Drive down to the post office
13. Walk to the post box
14. Tip the envelope into the mail box
15. Walk away

• MAKING A TOAST

1. Collect bread
2. Collect toaster
3. Collect butter/nutella/vegemite
4. Place bread into toaster
5. Turn toaster on
6. Adjust temperature as you wish
7. When waiting get plate out of cupboard

Internet Addressess

What is a URL?
A URL is broken up into three parts. They are:

• The protocol("http")
• The server name("www.howstuffworks.com")
• The file name (web-server.htm")

What is an IP address and how is it related to a URL?
Each machine is given a unique address called a IP address. IP stands for "Internet Protocol".
An IP address would look something like this:
216.27.16.137

In the context of an IP address, what is an octect?
An octect is a value between 0 and 225.

Some key Terms- The Internet and Web Design

Define the term Protocol.

Protocol is a set of rules governing the format of messages that are exchanged between computers.

What are the following protocols used for?
TCP/IP- (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) Purpose to allow computers to communicate over long distance networks
HTTP- (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) standard mechanism for the exchange of application-level messages between devices on the web.
SMTP- (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) sending and recieving emails
FTP- (File Transfer Protocol) copy files between their local systems and any other system that their network can reach.


What does GUI stand for? What was used before GUI?

GUI stands for 'Graphical User Interface'. Dos was used before GUI.

There are two methods of data transmission-Series and Parallel. Explain the difference between them.
The two methods of data transmission are Series and Parallel. The difference between the both are that series is much easier, economical and has the most simplest method for transferring digital information. In series, transmission is sent one bit at a time. This is preffered because it is not expensive. It can trabsfer data over long distances.

The Parallel data transmission tranmits all binary data and each part needs it's own path. All bits can be transferred at the same time and it can move a large amount in a period of time. The let down on this is the interconnecting cables between the 2 points.(Cabling=complicated and expensive).

Define the term URL? Explain the components that make up the URL?
URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. This is the address of a website in the world wide web(the internet).
The components to make up a URL:

• A scheme: This identifies the protocol to access the resource.(it can be HTTP or HTTPS)
• A Host: Identifies host that hosts the resource. Provides service in the name of this. This can be followed by a port number(http://www.example.com/)
• A Path: Identifies source within the host that the web client wants to access(/software/htp/cics/index.html).

Quizelet

Mr. Lennon found a website called "Quizelet", which has many quizzes on different topics. I found that it is interactive at so many levels. Completing quizzes, your test of knowledge, putting an input and respond by giving a result to your knowledge, also it is allowing to be authors on this website as on the Internet.

bASIC html No.1

 I have finally finished my first ever html. Now i am proud to have the knowledge of making a web page(html)

This is the text for my html which i found quite easy to do to the help of the website of http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

History of the Internet

How did the Internet Originate?

The Internet originated by the people by the early 1960's who saw great value in allowing computers to share information on research and development.


Who were the people most responsible for creating it?
The people who were responsible for creating the Internet were Robert Kahn and Vinton Clerf this was because they developed the transmission system for sending data from different networks.

What system immediately proceededd the internet?What was it's purpose?
The sysyem that immediately proceeded the internet was called TCP/IP(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). This is a technical achievement that makes the internet possible.

What is an IP packet? What is it comprised for?
An IP packet is an address that identifies computers taht is on the network so you can give and receive information. It is comprisded for the size of the packet, the sender and destination address aslot he data being sent.

What does TCP stand for?
TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol.

The Internet

The internet is used for many things. Some of these are online banking, social networking;

• Keeping up with friends
• exchanging ideas of professionals
• Professional bloggers

This is also being used for online banking for some banks like National, St George, etc... Internet sales may be used to buy brand new or second hand things that may be in use with a very low price, not a place like Big W or Target, some of these may include ebay, or grays online, etc. Educational purposes are used to research for assignments, or work. Some may include; google, yahoo and etc...

Job seeking/ Employment may be advertised. These may be printed from the media, seek.com. Teenagers look for entertainment from the Internet which are; games, videos, listening to music and gossip.

Internet is is basically a big part of our lives, especially for the teenage group with their facebook, twitter, myspace and all of that sorts of things.

Rosemarie and i are a group on this mini task and we are going to give a little speech with a powerpoint. So now as we have just finished our speech as we were the first ones out of the whole of the class. We got it over and done with. THANK GOD!!. aNYWAYS BACK TO OUR little tasks in class.

Creating a simple database

Here is my firstttt database everr. It is sooo simple and sooo easy to do. Here it is...

(If this image is not clear please click on the image to view it)

Database definitions

1. Field: In database systems, fields are the smallest units of information you can access.



Record: Records are composed of fields, each of which contains one item of information.


File: Almost all information stored in a computer. Must be in a file. There are different types of files: data files, text files, program files, directory files and so on.


Query: In the method, the system presents a blank record and lets you specify the fields and values that define the query.


Database: Traditional databases are organised by field, records and files.


Report: A formatted and organized presentation of data.


DBMS: A collection of programs that enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database(Database Management system).


Data dictionary: a file that defines the basic organization of a database.


Data type: we can usually do this through -, %, : and $. This indicates the datatypes.

3. Some of the most common databases we use is our conatcts mobiles. Also we are in a database in our school. As soon as we swipe our card on the machine we can view our details and more necessary stuff for school. Our Ipods are in a database because of the songs put into it. They are all in categories e.g most recently played. The most important one we use everyday, GOOGLEEE.

What is a database?

A database is an application that manages data an allows fast storage and retrieval of that data.

Examples of Databases.

Some exapmples of databases are mailing lists, voluntering tracking and many more.
