Why is Programming Important

-
A program is a collection of instructions for a computer to execute a task. Programming is very useful and important because you can easily automate any task, interact with machines and computers, and to further create new intelligent machines. Being able to program is very beneficial because not only can you become a programmer or software engineer as a career but you can also take those skills you have learned and bring them to your current occupation. For example if you work at a desk job doing spreadsheets, you can learn to program it to automatically do it itself and will buy and the company more time and money because of this. Learning programming is important to me because it will soon help me do my work better, faster and be more efficient. Being able to achieve a successful code or program releases a great feeling of achievement and why its very important to the upcoming world. In the words of Steve Jobs he says " Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer... because it teaches you how to think". This is very true because being able to think creatively and outside of the box to create a different method of code is very critical and can help out in different situations.

Lab 7

Lab 7 was the most difficult labs their was to code. This lab involved designing and coding. The main part of the lab was to link our web pages to one where you just click lab1-lab7 without having to go back and forth. We first did this by duplicating our folders of lab1-lab6 and copying them into lab 7. This was because we needed the files to be copied into the lab 7 directory to ensure the links wouldn't change when we create our web page. Once all files are in we have to create a index.html in lab 7 because this was the homepage and how the website would read it as index.html. After this part we had to go back into Photoshop to design our images to click for each lab. After this is created we head back into Dreamweaver to start coding the index all together. We first start by putting our heading banner which we learned in the previous lab. Then we inserted all 6 lab images using the <img> tag. An example was: <img src="Images/lab1.png" alt="Lab1" cla...

Lab 8 Reflection

During this lab the main goal was to create flash talk movie about one of the topics that we researched about.  A flash talk movie is a brief speech or presentation, intended to grab the attention of the audience and convey key information in a quick, insightful, and clear manner. The point of this flash talk was to describe in 2 minutes  the importance of the Internet and the effects on people and society. The three main topics given to choose from were Net Neutrality, Internet Censorship, Advanced option: Protocol Vulnerabilities and/or hacks. The topic I chose to talk about in this video was Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is “Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication” (Wikipedia). This means that we as consumers of the Internet we are to surf freely among the web with...

" Minority and dissident communities face a perplexing challenge in countries with authoritarian governments. They need to remain anonymous to avoid persecution, but also must establish a trustworthy identity in their communications." Computer science and researchers traveled to three countries to help assess their challenges of maintaining a secure social media presence. They designed an app for android that would create a safeguard for the members for their anonymity and reliability of posts. The three countries were Mongolia, Zambia, and Turkey. These countries suffer from restricted speech, like Russia and China.  " The problem with anonymous communication is you don't know if it's credible," said Miriam Metzger.  This is where the app SecurePost comes into play because it allows the community to create secure groups on famous media, like Facebook, to maintain consistent presence on social media. The app allows total anonymity and flags any potential pos...
