All I do is dream big keep my head in the clouds...
The learning continues and I am excited as ever. We have start to learn about something that is fairly new over the past few years…Cloud Computing.
What is that??? Well glad you asked. Cloud computing means that instead of all the computer hardware and software you're using sitting on your desktop, you are able to use services provided by another company virtually.
There are several products that many of use daily that utilize the cloud. Let me give you some examples to explain a little better.
Apple iCloud
One example for all of the Mac/iPhone users is the iCloud:
The iCloud is a virtual free 5GB of storage for all of you music, photos, app, calendars, and documents. It will allow you to syncs all your content from all your devices to iCloud servers and makes your content accessible from any of your devices like your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.
Google Docs
Google Docs allows users to upload documents, spreadsheets and presentations to Google's data servers. Users can edit files using a Google application. Users can also publish documents so that other people can read them or even make edits.
We have been given a great introduction about this topic and I would like to keep learning about this topic and hopefully become proficient in it!!!
So we are coming to an end to the 1st semester of my first year in the Master of Internet Technology Program at UGA. I love every part of it. This semester I took Data Management and Internet Technology.
In our Internet Technology class we have discussed a wide variety of topics.
Business modeling was a topic that was totally new to me. We use the Book Business Model Generation as guide to learning about the Business Canvas and the different components that made up the canvas and how to apply them to the business of choice.
I really really really enjoyed the speakers that came to speak with our class. Chris Hanks spoke to us about entrepreneurship. I loved his outlook on the subject and helping us think outside of the box with fusing technology into the equation. Nathan Taitt, President of Eclipse Web Media, came to the class to discuss Search Engine Optimization (SEO) with us. This helped me fully understand how the process work first hand and how it really benefits the web site.
The latest thing we have been going over in class in Java Programming using Eclipse (I’m SURE you were wondering how my iPod got to Total ECLIPSE of the Heart) and Cloud Computing using Amazon Web Services (AWS). This has been an interesting side of programming for me. Learning hands on in the classroom is so beneficial to me. Dr. Piercy walked us through all the assignments to make sure that understood everything about the Java programming and the terminology we would be using. This has been the best classroom experience that I have had and I can WAIT to continue this journey!
