WEEK 12

LAST TOPIC OF THE TRIMESTER HA
So good to complete the trimester within 12 weeks,yet i hate it when its exam.But i got no choice that's why am a student.hahhahahahhha.
The final topic was relational database.
This topic was a bit tough  to understand because it was a bit technical,but by ALLAH'S grace it went well at the end.
 A Database Management System (DBMS) is a set of programs that enables you to store, modify, and extract information from a database, it also provides users with tools to add, delete, access, modify, and analyze data stored in one location. A group can access the data by using query and reporting tools that are part of the DBMS or by using application programs specifically written to access the data. DBMS’s also provide the method for maintaining the integrity of stored data, running security and users access, and recovering information if the system fails. The information from a database can be presented in a variety of formats.

REVISION STARTS

Not much was done this week,due to Christmas holiday.But when we had the chance to meet we had a revision exercise.

WEEK 10

WEB APPLICATIONS

In this web we studied about web applications and how they are been used.In addition we learnt how to manage and create web sites including the two types of web:static and dynamic web.This is very important because ,we have an assignment due for submission on the 12th week on creating a website using Google.Before this lesson i did not know how to create a websites and web pages but during the lesson i started getting the idea and am using it now with the help of my group mates  for our assignment.

WEEK 9

THE FOCUS WAS ON OUR GROUP REPORT AND BLOG.
This week not much was done during class since the submission date for our reports was almost due,so we were given the privilege to ask question about our report during lectures.In addition we were given group in class activity on case study about information systems.during the lab session our blog were checked to see if we were on the right track.And it did help me a lot because even though i was doing my blog but i was not doing what was expected of me since its my first time.

WEEK 8

Quite challenging
Week 8 was challenging because it was more technical and every detail to help in our group report on information system was basically taught in this week.Even though we already knew about the IT infrastructure and IT architecture but what we were taught about information system really helped us a lot.In week 8 more light was thrown on the advantages of information systems,its types and more elaboration was made on the definition features and importance of the various types of information system and where they are used.furthermore it is through what we where taught that my group and i decided on what information system was the best for our organization.
Moreover during the next session ,i learnt something more useful because its not only going to help me now in school but even after school.That is INFORMATION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY. Is all about the guidelines, steps or the various ways one has to go through to be able to arrive at the best and most efficient information system you need  in your organization and how to implement it.After careful study my group and i decided to use the structured approach(SDLC).It was through the SDLC methodology the we were able to choose the best information system needed  our company.Lessons in week 8 gave us a lot of exposure to what was needed from us in our report.
