CST 363-2253


In week 06 of CST 363, I learned that API stands for application programming interfaces; this is utilized for POST and GET commands that can communicate a applications such as python with a database called Python psycop2 or Java DB porgraaming which is known as Java JDBC.

I also learned that one can utilize SQL queries within their java or python code, for example one can call a getPerformThisAction( select * from DB WHERE  value = 'XYZ'); within their java class. 

A very interesting itesm that  i laerned this week was how to make a local database, a java application host a local web site based application. This was very neat to learn about the controller classes, the back/front end HTML files, and how to set the approriate commands to enable them to communicate with each other. For example, in lab 19 we are tasked to create classes that will either create a patient or prescription. We must ensure all requirements are met in order to have the application run as designed.  For examples, in application folder there is the controller + mainApp.java classes. In view folder, we add the different views that each application utilized (eg: doctor, patient, prescription).  In application properties, one add the credentials

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...

Learning Journal - Week IV

     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. I am working on obtaining a stronger understanding in machine learning, artificial intelligence and software engineering. This will be accomplished by working on small scale assignments or projects that introduce me into these respective technologies.  Career Goals My career goal is to continue to promote within the company I am currently working at or to move to another company and take on a more challenging engineer related role such as an Architect III or  Software Engineer. Wild guess of your percentile of the ETS Computer Science test After viewing the ETS page, test description and sample test I feel that this test will challenge me greatly but is a great standard as a computer science major. 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...
