What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

i completed the questions to go to my solutiopn but I still haven't completed the form. The next class I will complete step 6.4-6.6 .

Today I read a chapter from the book The things they carried. The boook is sbout the things that happened in the vietnam war and how they experienced. A liteunant name Jimmy was describing his story to his mother in a letter.

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

Today I completed a solution called dice game. This solution was very challenging. The hardest part was the way I had to generate the random numbers for the dice. Next class I have to complete the Mad Lib project.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The way i went about testing my program was by running it even though it may have had errors. By doing this it gave me a chance to see the build errors in the form. The results were that I had to have the answer for the form equal to to a variable

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcome them?/How did you overcome them?

one of the problems that I had developing my solution was declaring my variables and using the logical operators. I plan to overcome them by matching them with the name that I have them in my form.

Today I read a chapter in a book called Animal Dreams. The chapter was called pictures. It is about codi coming back to her hometown and is remembering all the memories she had back their and meeting her old high school friends.

Scored thru 11/25 (20 pts possible) - see Edline for your score tomorrow evening.

Today I read about the first chapter of the book Animal Dreams. So far I read about Dr. Homero Noline watches his sleeping daughters, Cosima and Halimeda. The girls perform elaborate rituals to hide their sleeping together; he does not tell them that he knows. They go to the cemetary for the Day of the Dead where they place flowers on a grave.

Today I read the book Big Fish I was in the chapter called three labors. In this chapter he performed three complicated task that demanded a lot from him. Also it talks about how he approached each labor and how he accomplished them.

What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?
The choices I faced in developing my solution was which button I should put certain code in for it to work. I chose among them by making one of the buttons the main focus to do everything.

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

I was able to make algorithms for two problems. These are helpful because they let you make a list of the steps you have to do for the exercise. Next class I have to complete the rest of step 4 and 5.

You generate random numbers when you use game applications, simulators and screen savers.

Scored through 10/31. All blogs from this point forward are second marking period.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The way I went about testing my program was by the Select..Case Is statement instead of the Select..Case statement which allowed me to put ranges instead of the commas. When your able to do this this lets you list a wider range of numbers. The results were that the formed worked correctly

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

The progress I made on my solution was that I stopped all the build errors and corrected the variables the solution is now finished. Next class I have to complete these steps in the textbook.

Provide yourself an example (not one from your instructor) of how you use a particular command thatwill help jog your memory in the future when you need that command again. You must provide a littlecode as well as a written explanation with this one.

A particular command that I use for the joke application was the end command. This command tells the form that you want it to close when you click the button. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Close() End SubEnd Class. This code represents the way to close a program.

Are there any specific tips you would give to someone else tackling the same problem? How wouldwhat you suggest benefit that person in solving the problem?

That you should make sure your variables match the name and text that you gave them in the form. What I would suggest would benefit a person with this problem because this is frequent error that people have all the time with a form.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?

The way I tested the program was by pressing play to see if the form would work but the form said that it had build errors. The results were pretty bad on the joke application.

What choices did you face in developing your solution, and how did you choose among them?
The choice that I faced in developing my solution was which jokes i was going to put in my form. The way I chose them was by choosing the best ones that were the most appealing. It was very hard to choose from so many.

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcomethem?/How did you overcome them?
Today when I did my joke project it was hard to matchup the joke with the puchline. the way I planned to overcome the problem is by switching the variables so that they match the names in the form. I overcame this problem by finally finding out that i neede to put quotation marks around the punchline and joke.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?
The new program I learned about was the nested if..then..elself stament which allows you to list more options in your form. I went about testing it by going in the vb program and doing a "guessing number application". the results of that testing was that I could use more choices.

Scored through 10/18. Check Edline for scores on Monday evening.

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?
Today in class I made progress with the If...Then statement. It much easier than I thought it would have been. The next class I need to finish an exercise 1 which allows you to use the If...Then statement to its entirety.

A particular command I used today was (Mod) it is a division command that leaves the remainder. It is very good to use when you need to get the value and the value of coins.

Today I read the book "Mama Day" which is a very good book. So far I have read about all the characters such as Sapphira Wade which is the main character in the beginning. When the book starts it talks about Sapphira Wade and her background and the way she died.

Scored through 10/5. Check edline for updated grades on Monday evening. Make sure to do these every day!

What problems did you encounter while developing your solution? How do you plan to overcomethem?/How did you overcome them?

the first problem that I encountered while doing my solution was gettiong to use the right variable. I kept having syntax errors because i would put the variable in the wrong spot. I overcam this problem by learning how to properly place the right variable with the right values as in the form.

Scored on 9/23/07. Check edline for grade posting tomorrow evening.

Today I read excerpts from the book "Harry Potter and The prisoner of Azkaban". In this book it is Harry's third trip to Hogwarts and everything its not going the way he likes it. He is tired of being at his Aunt and Uncle's house. His encounters with whom he believes is Lord Valdemort get worse and worse.

One problem that I had was getting the code to operate the form correctly. It was very troublesome and it wouldn't let me do a lot of things. I finally got it correct when I put parentheses, quotation marks and the right format

Autobiography of Malcolm X

I was reading the autobiography of malcolm x today. Basicly, I read about his early childhood from when his father died to when he and his family split up. Also I read how he used to run the streets when he was a teenager. next, the book talked about how he converted to Muslim while he was in jail and how he added the "X" to his name. That is as far as I got.

What progress did you make today on your solution? What needs to be completed next class?

The progress that i made today was learning to give different properties a code. Next class I should try to arrange a new type of code for the different properties.

How did you go about testing your program? What were the results of that testing?



The program I tested was visual basic. This program lets you fool around with a lot of the properties. I tested the different properties and moved, changed parts of the form. Me doing this helped me understand visual basic.

A command that I learned back color command. This command will be useful in the future because it would help me add color to all of my backgrounds no matter the application. I right- clicked on my mouse and chose properties and went down to back color. Once I highlighted the button it had various color backgrounds that I could choose from. i chose the desktop one and my background turned blue.
