We are already halfway done with this course; I have learned great information regarding how databases operate. At first, I thought databases were strictly utilities houses to store data, but throughout these last 4 weeks I have learned that there is more that goes into it. Such as "normal Forms", these forms are designed to remove anomalies such as duplicate values or redundancy. I also learned how to communicate with business units if I even have to get pre-requisite for a specific database project. One can achieve this by understanding the business needs, and converting that into a production database that runs reliability, ensuring that it is compliant with   the least privilege principles. I have also learned the importance of "keys" such as primary keys or foreign keys. Only one primary key can exist, this is to ID the key and reference it in a foreign key when it is called. 

- How much do Azure online databases cost for a small application owner?

- Can one integrate a Linux DTB. into a windows environment?

If so, will there be any benefits?

- Why would an enterprise level app. choose a Mongo DB vs SQL?

Learning Journal - CSUMB - January 6, 2025

 Greetings,     This week I learned about the campus of CSUMB, and how it was a military base before officially becoming a CSU in the mid 90's. The vision of our school is based on collaboration, teaching us skills that are essential for the modern workforce, and to provide the best possible curriculum with relevant technologies that will help us excel in our future, if we do our part and endeavor the challenges that Computer Science conveys. I also learned about the different ways to format APA style, depending if it is a website, book, or personal interview. At my previous schools, we would utilize MLA, so this is a great learning experience.  I also refreshed on the importance of plagiarism, and why it is extremely important to do on our work, even with all the tools we have such as AI, 3rd party websites, etc. The challenge I overcame this week was to have a deeper understanding of how Dynatrace operates, and all the different components that shape a successf...

     Educational Goals My education goals in the CS program are to strengthen my engineering foundational skills. I also want to strengthen my programming skills by expanding my knowledge in python and Unix.

The percentile that I feel I will obtain is arou...

      Lecture: Week 2 Learning Journal Post      Part 1: Review and Reflect Learning Strategy       The tops three areas that I am good at is to stick to my schedule, unless an emergency comes up, I like to stick to my schedule from the beginning of the day, until the end of the day. I am also good at studying when I have "planned" for it, I usually plan my studies in the evening and over my online educational journey, I have been disciplined enough to stay on track. Lastly, I am good at thinking skills, I can think critically, and come up with ideas or a desire to research something and learn about it. This ability is used in our everyday life’s, at home, while studying, and at work.  The top three areas that I feel I am weak in is where to study, sometimes it is easier to study at home but that is where I can easily get distracted at. I also feel that I am weak in is reading, sometimes when I am tired, it is hard to read all the m...
