Lecture:
This weeks lecture was based on ' Cloud Computing 7 Relational database'. The lecture had started with a video which was about 'Cloud service as a Xaas'. this was interesting as I was able to know what as-a-service is as it is a computing which involves IT resources and services that can be accessed. That does not mean that the business needs to own the resources, they don't really need own the equipment and these services are provided to businesses in different scales.
After the video, Haider had started with the presentation; he explained about utility computing as businesses would rent the resources which they used based on subscription based and has a lot of scalability benefits as it is able to meet the demands. An example of theses would be google, amazon, Microsoft etc.
As technology is moving forward there is cloud computing which is based for the internet such as Gmail. Hiader then went talking about the varies advanced cloud application which I found very interesting. One of the advanced aloud application which I found very interesting to know was Green computing. I am very interested in making the world a greener place and knowing that there is an advanced cloud application that just does the job really intrigued me. Hiader after capturing my attention had put up another video which based on introducing database. I don't have much knowledge on how to make a database. Haider had then explained and showed us on how we have create a simple query, form or report. This is a useful tool for business students to be able to make a simple form on using database. I was very interested as once I got home, I went back on the lecture slides and managed to make my own form. I was very happy that I was able to make a simple form using database.
In our seminar today we had focused on excel activity on lookup and V lookup. We had Hiader Bilil for this seminar. I had found this a little difficult as usually with Susie we are given instruction on how to do the activity. Whereas this week we were given a sheet which we had to follow and it had the issues included. I had followed the sheet but it would come as N/A which was a little annoying as I though I was doing it right but this was done deliberately in order for me to know the mistake that can usually happen on excel. On my usually seminar session Susie would show us on exactly how to do it which would would be very useful and I would remember the formulas this way. I had found this session very confusing and difficult. I had managed to finish the activity but I was still confused which made me go on YouTube to look on lookup and V lookup.
I had also found that we were a little behind on the excel work as last week we should have the IFs worksheet on excel. Hiader Bilal told us to do by ourselves during the week. This was a little challenging as I thought I was on track but knowing that we were 1 week behind then the rest of the groups was a little frustrating. Once I got home I had done the IF's worksheet and completed as I knew I would not have time or I would either forget to do it.
Group work:
For our group work we had focused on finding the problems and solutions. We had made a table which included problems in one section and solutions in the other section. We had had a meeting where we had discussed on each problem and various solutions. This was very successful as I was able to fill in the table and complete it. All my team members had attended the seminar today which gave us a chance to have a group discussion on what we are planning to do next. We decided to have a meeting on Monday to work on the presentation. On Tuesday we would be doing the presentation. Mumtahin had decided to make the YouTube channel. This way we can upload the video as soon as it is finished. According to plan we are heading in the right direction and in this case we should be able to record the video before the Easter break.
