Weekly Status Report

This week was the week back from march break. On Monday, we started with a lesson on the data types that can be applied while working the Visual Basic and how they can be more efficient, depending on the program that is being created. Data types are variables determines what kind of information a variable is able to hold. Take for example the String data type, which holds combinations of characters (words) up to around 2 billion. We were given a Visual Basic project that asks us to create a Temperature Converter to convert fahrenheit and celsius. also, it was to have a scroll bar to indicate how cold or hot it was. This was a little complicated at first, but i got the hang of it. On Tuesday, i had finished the program, and was told to make a similair one, but this time, it had to have a track bar to select the fahrenheit and it would convert to celsius, and show on the scroll ball how hot or cold it was.

On Wednesday, we were given a web awareness assignment to finish in order to prepare for the OSSLT literacy test. This essay was to write a minimum 3 paragraghs on selected topics about web awareness. On Thursday, I was absent for the entire day because I was job shadowing for my career studies class. And on Friday, the people who missed the class the previous day were handed out a sheet about identifying Strings, where i had to identify the function of each string and start a program about ten of them, and i'll finish next week.
