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.

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



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.

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

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.
