On Monday, we we given a lesson for the Time Control function in Visual Basic, and how to use it for things in the properties in the timer, like enabling the timer when the program has loaded and the interval between each event in milliseconds. After the lesson, we 2 exersizes on how to create basic digital clock program and a stopwatch program. On Tuesday, we presented 2 jobs (database developer and computer programmer) out of the 6 selections from our report about the different careers involving computers. On Wednesday, we worked on an in class exercise to prepare for our test tomorrow, including the types of string functions, VB operators, and loops.
On Thursday, our class had the Computer science test for the things we were going over yesterday (types of string functions, VB operators, and loops). On Friday, we had a lesson on the next loops, while loops, which are used when the number of repetitions for the program is not known before we start the loop. This is as long as a condition remains True, and the End While is achieved after a certain condition is met. Then we got 2 excersizes and 1 assignment on while loops, which were a little difficult to understand at first.

On Monday, we created a program in Visual Basic, which was formatted so that it would output four images of the sun to the user in a slide show form. But before i could start that, I had to finish the programs from last week, and started the slide show. On Tuesday, we had another lesson on Loops; this time it focused on using the "Exit For" statement, which is used to end a program at an appropriate time for a For ... Next early and move the execution to the first statement after the loop. I finished my slide show and then did the programs we got for Exit For.
On Wednesday, I continued to work on the Exit For programs. On Thursday, we received a project about the different types of computer jobs like a computer programmer, animator, and DBA. We got in groups of 3 or 4, and choose 6 of the jobs to do, so we could make desriptions of those jobs. The mission was to choose six different jobs, and report about each one and their relevance to computer programming. On Friday, I finished my part for the project and finished my Exit For programs.

On Monday, no one was in class because the school was off for the Easter Monday. On Tuesday, we were finished our PizzaPalace project and our teacher marked it, i think we did pretty well. And as a treat, our teacher brought us some pizza. On Wednesday, we were given a lesson on using Loops in Visual Basic, which we went over when we were doing our flow charts, which was not in the program writing itself. We were given 7 small programs to complete that were based on using loops in different situations. An example of the loops excersizes is our 4th exercise, which asked us to write a program that calculates the product of odd numbers from 10 to 59. That would mean the program would calculate 11+13+15+17... and so on, until the number 59, and then it would output the sum.
On Thursday, we worked on more Loops, but it was debugging, as well as QuickWatching to use break points in the program, so we can see how the program works step by step. On Friday, We continued on the looping programs with QuickWatching, and we had to do 3 programs for what we did yesterday, which was set up the program, run through using QuickWatching, Make a table, and put each variable, and write the output. Except this time we had to describe it also, basically step by step.

This week, our teacher told us we would not have any lessons and be doing a project in Visual Basic for the whole week. This project was based on the order menu of a restaurant called Pizza Palace. This project would take the whole week, and we were in groups of 2 or 3, and this project would help us with things such as radio buttons and dialog boxes.
On Monday, I was assigned to a group of three, and we started and finished the entire interface of the order form which had different pizzas and toppings, as well as the different drinks and side orders, with a bill to add it all up, and did a little declaring. On Tuesday and Wednesday we focused on writing the program's codes for each of the commands we wanted the program to perform, and on Wednesday, we had finished all but the dialog boxes and documentation. Thursday was our last day to do work, because it is Good Friday on Friday. On Thursday, we created the Dialog Boxes which are used to exit the program and to set the prices for the pizzas and for the side orders and drinks, and we did the documentation.
