About Me

 Hello everyone,
My name is Zach, I was a 0231 Intelligence Specialist for the United States Marine Corps before I was medically retired. I am currently pursuing my BS in Information Technology, and this will be my first class and blog pertaining to the study. I have finally finished my General Education Requirements and my General Education Competencies and can finally focus on my Major course requirements. The reason I chose this as my major was because it interested me and in hopes of finding a stay-at-home career so that I can better pursue and build upon current interests and hobbies I otherwise wouldn't have time for. I've always enjoyed learning how to build computers and servers and how to maximize performance on both. I am hoping to build on that foundation of knowledge with what I will learn in this class and in setting up this blog.

Words can hardly express how excited I am to start learning more about Technology and I look forward to interacting and learning with everyone.

AI and its relation to the concepts of information technology

 I chose A.I as my tech topic. AI and its relation to the concepts of information technology and computer science, including the history of computers: Artificial Intelligence can be traced back to the earliest computers, where pioneers like Alan Turing posed questions about machine intelligence (Turing, 1950). (Side note, did you know Alan Turing was arrested and chemically castrated for being a homosexual and all of that after his service in helping crack the enigma code the Germans were using to disguise their communications in World War 2 ultimately saving hundreds of thousands of lives?) The advent of digital computers laid the foundation for AI, creating the possibility for a machine to simulate human reasoning. This is deeply connected to the central tenets of computer science, which involves problem-solving, algorithmic thinking, and the efficient use of computational resources (Brookshear & Brylow, 2020). Reliance on the major hardware components and functions of a mode...

Understanding Java Installation and Object-Oriented Design Principles

Understanding Java Installation and Object-Oriented Design Principles Java Installation Simplified Java is a programming language that is essential for modern software development. Before you begin writing code, you'll need the Java Development Kit (JDK). The JDK is a software bundle that equips you with tools to develop and execute Java applications. While Oracle is a well-known distributor of JDK, Eclipse also offers an open-source version known as Eclipse Temurin, which you can download and install.  JDK (Java Development Kit): The JDK is a software development kit used to develop Java applications. It is an implementation of either the Java Platform, Standard Edition; Java Platform, Enterprise Edition; or Java Platform, Micro Edition platforms released by Oracle in the form of a binary product aimed at Java developers. It includes the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), an interpreter/loader (Java), a compiler (javac), an archiver (jar), a documentation generator (Javadoc) and othe...

Week 3 Post 1 Revision

 Computers store data on hard drives and removable drives using a hierarchical system. The hierarchical system consists of the File System which is the overall structure that a disk drive uses to store, retrieve, and organize data. Following the File System is the Directories/Folders, they act as containers for files and other directories. Directories can be nested within each other to create subdirectories. Lastly is the Files themselves, a file can contain any type of data and is stored in a directory.  My current backup plan was put in place after losing countless personal files after I had them all stored locally on my cellphone and said cellphone was dropped in the ocean. I have 3 copies of any and all-important information i.e., bank statements, military record, medical documents, and any documents pertaining to anything currently being financed just to name a few. Three copies on my cellphone which is backed up to the cloud and can be remotely wiped thanks to AVG antivi...
