â€œIn the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in his cosmic loneliness. And God said, “Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done.” And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak.

This week in PHP we learned how to send mail using the mail() function. We had to upload a php file onto our servers and send an e-mail to our group mates through that file.

For the first time in this program we have written out requirements documents. The next step is to bring those features and requirements to life. This process sounds more simple than it is. For my three features, there are a number of components that I have no idea how to code. In order to get

Today is almost the end of a long week, and I finally have a moment to pause and reflect on the past few days. During the previous week, reading week, I spent most of my time working on my PHP and ASP.NET assignments. I also typed up lecture notes on this flash card program I

His son gives him a robot butler who is programmed to take care of him. The movie explores the relationship between Frank and his robot, who he

This week in our XML and Web Services class we learned about XPath and XSLT. I am always surprised at how many different languages there are available to programmers and web developers. It is almost overwhelming because it is impossible to become an expert in all of them. Prior to learning how XSLT and XPath

With the second semester well under way, it is time to start thinking about internships. During my research, I have found myself thinking about my competition. My classmates are suddenly my competitors, and there are thousands of other computer science students who are also looking for an “in” into the Computer Science industry. This thought

One of our new courses this semester is called “Security and Quality Assurance”. Over the past two weeks, the security portion of the course has really caught my attention. I have always been fascinated by hackers and what I heard about them in the news. One of our assignments was to find 3 big hacking

Fresh Start

The first week of a semester is always inspiring and terrifying to me. It’s nice to have a clean slate: new classes, new teachers, new groups, and new assignments. It is refreshing. However, change is also scary. In the past semester we learned so much. Hearing the teachers go over each courses’ syllabus and explaining

This past Wednesday was the last day of our Digital Design course at Humber College. Royce was a great instructor. He covered a lot of material, while managing to keep the classes interesting. It’s hard to keep that kind of pace in a classroom. Often a teacher will move too quickly and the class cannot

I had big plans for the weekend that just passed. Very big plans. Those plans consisted of me waking up, sitting at my desk, and working. I did plan on moving for an hour or two a day, to consume some food and to get some exercise. Everything started off well. On Friday night, I

In the Web Development program at Humber College, we have lot of individual assignments and independent studying to do, but we also have a lot of group work.

In the Web Development program at Humber College, we learn a lot of things that are completely foreign to me. I’ve dabbled in HTML & CSS before taking the program, but nothing beyond the basics. I’ve even had my own website for a few years, which I designed from scratch. However, I never knew just

As we started learning Javascript in class, I began noticing a reoccurring pattern. Everything we were learning in class made sense to me while the teacher was standing infront of the class and teaching us. However, as soon as I sat down on my own to attempt an assignment, it became clear to me that
