It is very important for all companies and different businesses in today's technological age to be aware of different ways to secure their email systems which are set up for employees to communicate the companies private informations. Even though computer hacking is illegal, it is sometimes hard to catch hackers who can cost a company millions of dollars if they were to get into a email system. This why it is really important for companies to set secure email systems. It is also important in regards to employees who are let go by a certain company, since with secure email system this employee that is release can be easily adjusted to where information does not reach that individual no more. Another importance of secure email is toe prevent hacker from hacking into computer while using public WiFi, which known to have many hackers and is difficult to keep secure. Establishing secure emails system is definitely a must for companies to operate safely in todays world.

Week:14 clear

This will be the last weekly post I will be making for this class and I'll have to say its been fun doing all the projects and learning so many important things that I will be able to apply in the real world. This week present a variety of information about storage device, virtualization, and many more. Yet again, the information provided help me to better understand computers and its usage, as well as knowing how to fix problem related to it and using them to their out most potentials. During this week, I also had to complete the Secure email project, which was something so simple but very important to know in the business world. I will say that i enjoyed this class, since i learned so much that I could apply in my future careers.

Week:13 clear

This week was a very interesting week as we covered information regarding security risk associated with computer and internet usage. Some of these risks include internet and network attacks, unauthorized access and use, hardware theft, software theft, information theft, system failure and wireless security. Committing illegal acts on the computer can have great consequences. An individual can be fine major money and can be also convicted to serve jail time according to the extent of the issue. Its is very important for people who use a computer along with the internet be informed about these different risk since they might be violating it themselves, but also so they can know how to better protect their computer.

Database Project

The database project was the hardest of the projects dust far. I thought it would be easy since I previously thought that Excel was the most difficult application out of all Microsoft Office, and also since i never used or had any back ground information on how to manage Access. The basics skills i learned was how link to and from database,as well as how to create a table, query and report in Access. Even though Access had easier functions than Excel did, because of the wizard, creating a query alone took it over the edge to be harder than Excel. There still need to be a lot of more work so I can better master Access.

To help enhance when I utilize database again, I would like to know how to connect it with Excel better and using different feature like graphs and charts to give a better understanding of the information. Picture and visual aspect are good feature to have so that would definitely enhance things.

Week:12 clear

This week was very interesting with dues to amount of work I got done this whole week. I worked on several extra credit opportunities and also the database assignment which was the toughest assignment yet. I really did not to expect this assignment to be so difficult since i was able to sort of breeze through the Excel assignment. Everything I did got intertwine with one another so it felt like i was working on one big project. I should definitely work in advance because this was really a work load.

Week 11:Clear

Weeks 11 was a very busy week for me with going through all the information provide about this week's topic which was Database management and also getting the discussion work done as well. Week 11 covered a variety of of information such as what are good characteristics of database,the three fundamental concepts of a relational database management system, the different kind of database management systems (object, hierarchical, multi-dimensional, relational), and so many other quality information. overall this weeks information was very informative and I could definitely take away a lot from this week

Excel Project

The excel project was definitely the best and most rewarding project I think we have done thus far. Even thought I took previous classes like CGS 2531 here at the University of Florida, there was one thins which did not get the chance to learn which was pivot tables which help me to really realized the greatness of Microsoft Excel.In this students had to applied several basics techniques which we acquired either maybe from previous classes or from the lectures or information provided by our ISM 3004 course.Some of these basic helped me to walk through the Excel Project with not very much hassle. The information that was present on the Excel sheet, was about 500 different subjects how heart rate was collect for each minute of 20 minutes where they worked out for 15 minutes and cool out for 5 minutes. Being able to use diferent things such relative and absolute cell addressing, helped me to make calculate values for 500 different people with in seconds, once a function was put into a cell.If I wanted to find the maximum heart rate for each person, I could easily enter a function such as =Max(I3:AC3) for one person, then drag down to calculate everyone else's, which is done in seconds.
Over everything I learned about Excel, there are two things which I think are absolutely amazing. These two things are the "IF" functions and Pivot Tables. "IF" Function are function which does a logical test, and then it yields a specific answer if it is true and then yields another specific answer if it is false. Her is and example: =IF( [any number]> 0, “positive”, “negative”), in the test if a number is greater than zero it will yield the answer that it is a “positive” if it is false it will yield that it is “negative”. The amazing thing about this and excel itself is that you are able to use this for a large amount of information.Pivot tables is another amazing thing i learned. The way pivot table work it thats it takes a BUNCH of information and magnifies it to specific categories, where could get different results as far as the sum, average,count, min, max, etc, of those categories. This capability is easier to see, than to explain because it is really something that work wonders.Overall I enjoyed the project, and I would really like to learn more about Excel.
