Well, I just got back from my first day of going back to school to finish up my B.S. in comp sci. I wasn't all that bad, except I haven't been in school for a while and have to retake a few classes that I had already taken in the past .. like History (slightly ironic) and English composition (good thing I saved all of my english papers from 1992). However, my last class for the night was a database class.
I remember a database class I took many years ago that was lecture only. The prof. handed out printouts from all of theseSQL technical manuals, shoved SQL syntax down our throats until we were choking on it, gave us all of these papers on data organization theories, and went in to great depth about database normalization and all of the normal forms. Pretty cool stuff, if a bit challenging for someone who had never worked with a database before. This is not the same type of database class. Pretty much all we are going to end up doing in this class is putzing around with Access and a little bit of SQL server. Oh how MS has ruined the education system *sigh*. We were told to read chapter 1 for Wed. What is chapter 1 about? Well, it tells you what a database is .. whoopie!!! It's going to be a long semester. On the plus side, my group and I are are pretty much assured an easy A ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
