My homework this week was to create a database schema, add some data from one of four sources, connect it to an AWS RDS instance using MySQL, and use the monitoring tools within AWS RDS to set up a CloudWatch dashboard to monitor the database. Since I had some issues with my computer this week,... Continue Reading →
One thing that I like about SQL is the consistency. While there are several flavors, (e.g. Oracle, Microsoft, etc…) I can usually figure out the basics in whatever database I find myself using. Right now in my AWS database class, we are using cloud based relational databases, so SQL has entered my world again. It... Continue Reading →
Okay, kind of not exciting for some people, but it was exciting for me. I finished the AWS introduction class (I got another A!) and now I am enrolled in the AWS Database class. Our homework assignment for this week was to launch a database in the cloud using AWS. Granted, I have used Firebase... Continue Reading →
While I have continued to do my AWS class homework (AWS Educate has a ton of helpful resources, and I am officially enamored with the seeming simplicity of Sumerian), the past two weeks have also involved events where the learning was condensed into one day or several hours!

I know the title is cliche.... but my homework assignment this week for my AWS class involving using Amazon Polly.

Also, HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery/JavaScript are powerful together, as are many other front-end JavaScript frameworks. I decided it was time to take another Angular... Continue Reading →
I finished my JavaScript class final project on December 17. Since design is a skill that I am working to improve, I decided to do something more front-end oriented. Due to the fact that the holidays were timely, as was enormous amounts of food, I decided to make a food holiday calendar. Essentially, a user... Continue Reading →
I was at a party on Saturday night and a friend asked what type of math class I am taking. I said “Discrete Math.” In response, she said that she had never heard of it, and was going to Google it. Another friend said that she would not find it on Google because it was... Continue Reading →
My Discrete Math final is coming up on December 16. We had a midterm on Sunday, December 3. In the remaining two weeks, the class will cover 5 chapters. I am not sure how the professor will do this in our last 3 hour lecture, but he has taught this class before, so I know... Continue Reading →
