CST 363 Week 8

 The three most important things I learned

* There are numerous types of databases that all allow for the creator to do different things. It is important to pick out the right type of database systems based on the application and needs of your users. 

* I learned the MySQL language which is a useful tool for all applications where a relational databse may be used. 

* I also learned about relational databse structure and the relationships between different entities and how utilizing the different types of relationships can be useful in making a databse that is without fault.

CST 370 Week 5

 This week we moved from learning how to read and understand algorithms, to a more direct approach to writing some of the more advanced algorithms that explore the more common mathematical and logical problems programmers tend to face. Learning about topological ordering, tree structuring, and quick sort was very interesting as these concepts are huge throughout the computer science landscape. COming off the test last week I feel reinvogorated to keep learning.

CST 370 Week 2

 This week was very interesting, I had learned about time efficiency and Big O, Theta and Omega notation in the past but it was great to learn formal definitions and see some examples of how they can be applied. Understanding how to evaluate recursive algorithms was new for me and pretty difficult to understand at first but after reading the text book and other required materials it started to make a little more sense. I would like to continue practicing evaluating both recursive and nonrecursive algorithms  just to continue understand the asymptotic notations a little bit more. Overall it was a good week and the homework was challenging in a great way.

CST 370 Week 4

 This week I was able to study some of the topics I struggled with in previous weeks like recurrence relationships. In preparing for the test being able to use two sheets of paper as notes was helpful for studying but also helpful for the test. A refresher on merge sort was also a welcome experience as well as the divide and conquer techniques.
