Results for C S 201 0001 Sherriff Mark Total Individual Answers 61 See below for Individual Results SQL Injection Complexity The unit on Swing is my favorite because it starts to get into things that are more related to practical software that is designed for the end user as opposed to the more basic background functions I enjoyed the topic on internet security because it is a very relevant topic for everyday users The section on sql injection and hacking was especially entertaining No opinion The process of creating a program and applying it to a project Operating Systems because that s what first got me interested in computer science I liked the project because it was fun to work with people and create such a large scale project linux sweet I liked the hashing lecture because it was interactive project working with teams Threads I feel as though this is a very important subject when it comes to more complex programs and the explanation relating to operating systems was very interesting Binary search trees were my favorite topic because I nailed the question on binary search trees on the test Internet security because we got to hack a server Inheritance I enjoyed the lecture on internet security I thought pair programming was a good idea on paper but in actuality it slowed down the programming process My favourite was the stuff we did on GUIs although I d have liked to do a bit more practice on it before we started the project I enjoyed the lecture on SQL Injection attacks because it was very interesting I felt like if we knew a bit more it could be something I would enjoy messing around with very much because it is like a puzzle The collections and iterators were my favorite part because they were the most helpful topic that we covered as far as being able to write code more effectively in Java arraylist maps GUI SQL Injection hacking stuff Operating systems it was a refreshing break from the heavier programming stuff that we had done most of the semester Networks and internet security Of everything we covered I see this as being the most applicable The OOP and stuff was handy too but it s the kind of thing I already picked up just playing around with Java after taking 101 Page 1 of 11 The information in this document is private and confidential Please handle accordingly C S 201 0001 Software Development Methods Fall 2008 QUESTIONS AND DETAILS ANSWER MATRICES Special topics They were fun short and shallow in depth and well suited to ADD internet security SQL Injection and Hacking It was the most fun Security and networking because they seemed most useful for my future the extra topics at the end of the year the random internet security and operating systems SQL Injection I don t really have a favorite No particular topic really stood out to me that much Threads I thought it was the most interesting The last few lectures on internet security The SQL injection attacks we did in class was some of the most fun I ve had during a class all semester interesting things like SQL injection GUI stuff RSS feeds and JavaDoc These things are really applicable and more than just book examples I feel like the answers I put for question 2 subclasses and superclass is kind of is my favorite because I like learning useful tools but if I were to pick something intrinsically interesting in of itself I would actually say hash code When I learned about information theory in ECE 200 I got the impression that efficiency in sorting required as much distinguishing information as possible so it was interesting to see a that hash code basically works in the opposite way The Security lecture was informative and fun at the same time It was interesting to see the hack attempt and success of the blurb sent out before the class where we tried to hack into Krondor Operation Systems Threads Internet Security Because they were all new topics that I had never covered before in my other CS classes the j unit testing it was a good supplement to learn how to test our own code inheritance I don t fully understand it yet but it seems useful Just object orientation in generalq I enjoyed the last few weeks of class where we covered topics voted on in class I really enjoyed using and designing swing applications While I have not had any experience with interfaces outside of swing which I hear is a pain compared to other toolkits languages it seems to me that this is still a very useful skill and there is a certain sense of accomplishment that goes with being able to see a physical product of your code Recursive algorithms were my favorite because I found them very applicable to real life problems and just the general idea of recursion is interesting to me Swing because having a user interface is awesome the im client Almost all topics were interesting I enjoyed OS Linux more because I already knew about it and could easily connect with it The brief introductions to the topics after Exam 2 were all interesting since they were selected by the class itself data structures Internet security It s something I can play around with while bored and it should really increase my knowledge of basic programming internet security fun and interesting Internet security while not the most useful for my future academic career in CS was the most interesting single topic especially because of the hands on learning in class sql injection i thought it was fun to see basics of how hackers hack Java framework collections because it was the most practical Guis and event driven programming These topics allowed me to produce programs that I ve been meaning to write but haven t had the instruction for Page 2 of 11 The information in this document is private and confidential Please handle accordingly C S 201 0001
