Tutorial Blog 3

I want to talk to guys about the power of the internet.  The interent has changed the world is so many ways.  Many of these ways people don't even notice or they take for granted.  Without the internet I wouldn't be attended the University of Florida, I wouldn't be taking this class and I wouldn't be writing this blog. Think about all the people that write blogs, where would they be today without them? Our generation lives and dies by the internet.  It is everywhere now. Its in almost every single pocket these days.  The iphone, ipod, android, ipad, etc. This is the information age. It's not about how much know, it is about whether or not you have the skills to find the neccessary information.  Think about it.  If you don't know the answer to a question, what do you do?  You look it up on the internet, plain and simple.  The internet has created billonaires and millonaires, think facebook, twitter and other internet compaines.  The internet has also made people broke with online betting and online pokers websites.  You can buy anything you can think of on the interent, the possiblities are endless.  You can buy shares of Apple stocks or crates of fresh apples.  To think that we have barely scratched the surface. 

Database Project Blog

Hello Bloggers!  Kevin here to talk to you about our most recent project, the database project.  This project was very interesting and quite challenging at times.  I enjoyed getting to learn how to use Microsoft Access and its infinite capabilities.  I know we only scratched the surface with the different techniques we learned with Access.  But, I feel that just with these techniques so much data can be organized in real world situations.  These are skills businesses look for everyday in future employees.  I hope to be able to widen my knowledge with Access and databases to enrich my business career.

I did find it kind of annoying that you had to set up the forms and the reports by yourself.  It would be nice if there were some automatic formatting for the length of text you were using.  I feel that would have saved myself a ton of time.  I'd say it would really help if it was more like a spreadsheet model on excel where you can double click the boarded between cells and it would automatically widen the cell to fit the desired text.  As far as that I experienced no other hiccups or hitches using Access that I didn't like.
