PTSD FLASH BACK ASSIGNMENT

I did have some experience on programming way back when I was still a freshman in high school. Even though I was still rusty on creating a website this assignment was still fairly easy for me since it just creating a webpage with minimal text and picture content. The most challenging part for me was not using a proper programming software. Using only a text-based editor application (notepad) it was challenging for me to decode some bugs, for example, multiple times I kept forgetting to put end tags or "/" because I was used to having a programming software to help me fill in the end tags and debug lines of code if there were any mistakes. In some parts, the assignment I kept referring to google to refresh my memory especially when adding pictures and links. For pictures the syntax was <img src="url"> and for links it was <a href="url">. In total the assignment took no more than 15 minutes to finished. This assignment reminded me a lot of my high school programming class and even consider this as a career at one point but I quickly dropped it because I just have no interest punching lines of codes on a desk for hours and a PTSD moment in java class where I had to debug line of codes on a test which took forever since java was a sensitive programming language. But programming gave me an idea what I wanted to do. It was an introduction to computer-related fields. My current interest is something with Information technology or cybersecurity.

The boring speaker

To be honest at first i was excited for our guest speaker since it was talking starting a companies and business. But as it continues I didn't find the guest speaker lecture that helpful and I also kind of feel annoyed mainly because I have a hard time grasping his theme. At first, he was talking about the books he wrote and the history of how he goes into writing books and then he was talking about his radio business in Tacoma. The lecture was bouncing back and forth between history and his business. So at the end I assume it's something about entrepreneurship but at the point his just kind of boasting about his business not really that informative in terms of enlightening us about starting a business and how to get there. In addition, he also talked about his web development career early on in his life. I'm not sure how it relates to the entrepreneurship theme lecture, But I guess it has do something about marketing your product and services via social media and online.

The filler course

To be honest I did not expect too much from this course. When I first read the course description I thought I knew what I kinda sign up for, but I guess I was wrong. Since the first day of class, it seems pretty chill it fitted my schedule and it was only 3 credits. So it gave me a lot of breathing room for other harder courses since this course is somewhat on the easy side. I've always been fascinated by new cutting-edge technology mainly because of it exciting to see what new tech can change society and the world again. I think this class might help me along the road for a IT or CS major at UWT. In addition, I also want to learn some history about the computer and the internet since I am a PC gamer I always wonder what the first PC was like and how it came to be the computers we know today. I’m running things to talk about the course so I’ll just talk a little about myself. My name is John Huang, currently a sophomore at UWT. I'm trying to major in CS or IT but I'm

Project idea

I am not too sure what I want to talk about for my presentation for my project but I do have a general idea since my criminal justice class is talking about cyber crime and my group decides to do a presentation for it I might as well reused something from my TCRIM class and present for this. Not only it saves me time and some effort but also it's along the lines of computers and technology. In terms of what specifics of cyber crime topic of cyber crime I think I'm planning to do something in regards to cyber crimes, hacking, DDoS etc. Some of the mainstream and less known cyber crime that people don't always know about which I will touch upon. If this doesn't go as I plan I might do something else like artificial intelligence or VR both of these subjects are pretty hot right now especially VR games I find the most interest in between the two. The reason why I am excited for VR because not too long ago I watch a movie called Ready player one. It absolutely blew my mind h
