Web Database Application (WDA)- My Study Materials

December 27th, 2011 § 1

4:34 AM, my computer clock quoted. That doesn’t alter the fact that I am not going to bed yet. Well, I am downloading songs from “The Veronicas” (Hook Me Up, the whole album); I just got the name from Indrie during the lunch yesterday noon, so thanks to her lolz.

Around 2:00 AM in the morning, my computer got another spyware attack. I am guessing that the spyware is still in my computer but inactive; later I’ll do the full scan to wipe all the spywares, hopefully it’s gonna work this time. Anyway, this is not my topic for this entry. I am gonna be writing a little bit about my exam, my study material. So enjoy :D

This semester I only have 1 exam which is Web Database Application or I often call it as WDA (simpler, faster, and easy to understand lolz). The exam is weighted only 40% of the total grade because the whole assignment is 60% hurdle. The group assignment of the subject drained me to bones, but then luckily the team managed to complete everything JUST on schedule. It was a huge work since we kept on adding functionalities here and there…scope creep should I say.

The course for me is not a very difficult subject because as you go read from the reading material from the lecture, they are all basic stuffs. If you have done Web Programming course before, the concept is more likely the same but the implementation is little bit different because of the programming language you are using. The whole lecture covers the topics of session, http request, form handling, user-driven querying, validation, etc. I should say they are all basic stuffs (again!). There are areas I need to concentrate more such as Template using PEAR ITX or MDB2 and also setting up basic authentication on server. I’ve done this before but using .NET which is MUCH MORE SIMPLER and EASIER (you know what Microsoft products can do rite? lolz). So, definitely I will be spending much time to focus on such areas.

Friday noon, I went to lab to print the whole study material and I decided not to use flip page during the printing which then I ended up with a lot of papers. After I re-think of what I’ve done….I’ve been wasting papers lolz, I just realized that after I went grouping the documents into more manageable format. One of the duty programmers said “Next time use flip pages because I am wasting a lot of papers”, indeed I did lolz..Anyway in the end of the day, I didn’t care so much because if I am using all of printing balances I’ll go end up with the same thickness and wasting that amount of papers anyway, lolz…After I compared it with the thickness of my alarm clock, they are actually pretty much almost the same in size…what the hell, am I doing….?

Anyway, to those my friend who are having exams….gud luck, have fun, and let’s roll in the exam room :D The Best of Luck :D
