Week 7 Update

We are coming to the end of Week 7, which means only one week left. The lab this week had us create firewall rules on a Fedora system. Security has always been a subject of computer science that I have always had a bit of an issue with. Although the command line controls used for this lab were a bit confusing, I do like the straightforward flexibility that this style allows. I really feel like I learned some new useful things. One issue I am finding myself having is typos. Since there are a few commands per line, it is normal to make a few typing mistakes. However, these mistakes can either prevent a command from working or fire the wrong command. I am going to have to really be careful with this in future. I can't wait to wrap up the project next week. Good luck to everyone!

Week 6 Update

Hello, everyone! We are here at the end of Week 6. Unfortunately last week was another week where I did not get my work completed. However, I have managed to get everything in this week. Learning about MySQL was very interesting. I can definitely see how it would be useful in a business setting, especially when maintaining large customer or employee records. Things are close to wrapping up here and I am hoping I can get myself fully caught up. Good luck everyone!
