Term 2 Computing Science Evidence

For this module I have been learning many new things. I have been finding some of these quite challenging. One of the areas that I found interesting is the binary relations. Below are some screen shots of one of the questions from the tutorial and the answer which I made for it.

Term 2 Hardware and Networks Evidence

In this module, we have moved on from the hardware side and started on the networks side. I find this area very intresting and I do not struggle within this area. I also already know most of the concepts that are taught within this as I have previously learnt these in college to a destinction level. Below is a screenshot of some of the basic work which I have been doing for this area of my course.

Term 2 Project 1 Evidence

I have been working as part of a group to create an android application. For this we have decided to create a unit convertor. We have all been assigned tasks within this, of which we have all decided upon. One of the main things that i was required to do for this was to code the layout for the device within eclipse. below is a screenshot of some of this code, that makes a Tab layout for the application.

Term 2 Programming Evidence

There have been a fair few things which I have been learning within this module. The main thing is moving on from using BlueJ to programme in java, to using eclipse. I did not find this hard to do as I found out that the only real difference between the two is that you are required to make a start up class in order to run your code and enter your data, which is a simple task. i have provided this information in my evidence for eclipse, which I have also linked on my PDP. Below however is a screenshot of some basic code that is used in order to create the MP3 class of the Dome Project, which I added in order to allow me to place another type of item to the database.

Term 2 Modelling Evidence

I have been learning to do a few new things within the Modelling area of my Software Design and Development Module. The main thing that I have been learning to use is a plug in for Eclipse known as Jigloo. This allows the user to add a variety of objects onto a GUI editor. By using this I am able to create applications with ease, as these objects are pre coded, meaning that all I am required to do is code them to do the function that I want them to do, instead of coding the basics to make them work. I will be using this in order to create my second assignment for this module.

Term 2 Studio 1 Evidence

I have been learning about programming within Android for in term 2. Within this i have beel elarning how to create layouts, add features like different screens, text, buttons and more to the application as well as make it so that it can run on an android phone. Below are some screenshots of some of the basic work that I have done within my studio 1 sessions.

Term 2 Linux File Handelling

I have found that in term 2 I have been able to understand a bit more about the file layouts within linux and how they interact with each other. I have not gained a lot more knowledge within this area however so it is somthing that I aim to improve.

The Linux File System


Term 2 Using Linux Ouranos

Through term 2, I have been finding it easier to use this operating system as I have become a lot more familiar with it. i am able to navigate around it and use most of its fretures with ease.

Term 2 Eclipse Evidence

In my second term of university, I have moved onto coding java within Eclipse instead of BlueJ. I found this an easy change as there is not really much difference. The one thing that I noticed that needed doing was you are required to create a start up class in order to input the information. Below are some screenshots of some java coding within Eclipse.

I have also been doing some basic object orientated work using a plug in for Eclipse known as Jigloo. This allows you to drag and drop items onto a GUI editor and then give them functions. Below is some basic screenshots of this.

Term 2 BlueJ Evidence

I have currently stopped using this software in order to programme in java, as I have recently moved onto using the programme Eclipse in order to programme in java. I have learned to do a few new things within BlueJ though. These include such things as arrays, loops and collections. Below are a few screenshots of some of my more recent work.

All Evidence For My Second Cycle of PDP

Hello again. I am currently doing all of the evidence for my second cycle of PDP (Personal Development Planning). I will be keeping some of the evidence links the same as there has been no change in skiills using those types of software, however there will be some new evidence for a lot of programmes. These will include BlueJ, Eclipse, Using Linux and File Handelling within Linux. For all of my modules I will be providing new evidence of more recient work.
