Today, while working with Small Basic, I discovered a few new things about the coding language. I discovered, for one thing, that it is important to always look at the code you have written first before running the program, to prevent errors. I made a typo in one of my lines of code, and that ended up messing up the entire program because of that. Another thing I learned is the many commands that are possible to use while using Small Basic, such as Text Window, Background Color, and Title, as well as many more.

My project was the new apartment with 2 roommates.    1. What were some considerations that were more important for businesses than dorm or home networks? For businesses, faster networks, more reliability, and more security were needed. For dorm or home networks, you don’t need as much of this stuff.    2.  Are you able to install a network for any of the network scenarios that we presented in class? Why or why not? Yes, I am, because the instructions in the scenarios were clear and easy to understand.    3. What would have helped you to understand how to network in these situations more? If there were more details that did not just list simple copy-pasted instructions, and instead elaborated on certain topics with setting up a network.

My project was the new apartment with 2 roommates 1.  What did you already know about networks and networking  before we started? I knew a few things, I knew about ISPs, settings sites, and WiFi. 2.  What did you learn in your own  presentation that you did not know prior to the research? I learned how expensive certain networking solutions can be, such as how expensive routers and modems are. 3.  Do you have a better understanding of what components, hardware, software, and connections after your research? If yes go to 4. If no, why not? What would have helped you to learn more? Yes 4. What did you learn that you found interesting? I learned about how computers, smartphones, and tablets connected to the internet using WiFi, and what kind of hardware they used to connect to WiFi. 5. From the perspective of a Tech Support professional, do you think you can explain to a person the step by step instructions to set up  a network?  If y...

a.  Is it clear what is being networked? You know the business, the number of computers etc? Yes, it is. b. Is the set up of the equipment clear? Yes c. Can you clearly see in the instructions and pictures how to plug in the equipment? Yes. clear diagrams are included. d.  Can you clearly visualize how to install the network using the router?  You would be able to follow this presentation to do the install yourself? Yes e. Does the presentation provide you with all of the ISP package features? Yes f. Does the presentation provide you with the features of the router? The description of the router was rather vague, but it does include details about the router. g. Does the presentation clearly indicate what security the isp offers and how to set up a secure network with the router? Yes h.  Are the resources properly labelled and bring you directly to the actual source? Yes
