On Wednesday we started off with a lecture to help us with our assignment 2a, it was about web hosting and what we should be looking for in order to get the best host for our website. This helped me a lot as I knew very little about this at the start of the day. I have researched it more on the internet and analysed three separate hosts for my assignment especially the costs involved. I still have to finish it off, add more detail I would like to get a good impression of the costs in order to create a realistic budget statement for the assignment.
In the same lecture I also learnt about FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and CGI (Common Gateway Interface) I had never heard of these before the start of Wednesday. I now know what both of these are for. I am learning more and more each week and this is good for me because I have been out of study for a year and it feels good to learn new things. The course is quite intense over the two days we are in but we get study time where I have the time to review my notes and let things sink in a little more.
On the Thursday we started with a lecture about English. This was a little dull but I do feel my English lets me down heavily at time especially with my notes. I have tried to improve my note taking and hopefully with these sorts of lectures I will do so. In the afternoon we were able to concentrate on our assignment and take part in a feedback group. This was important for me at this stage because I have done a lot of work on three key parts to the assignment and it helped me to think about different things that I could do or add to make it better.
I am pleased with the way the course is going and I am enthusiastic about my future in Interactive media.
