Discuss the differences between scripting and programming

This week we will:

1. Research Python as a language and compare it to some other languages like Basic

2. Discuss the differences between scripting and programming

3. Install VMware and download the Windows 2012 server

4. Create your first VM with the Windows 2012 OS (again, do NOT try to install the Windows 2012 OS on your PC, only install it in the virtual machine that you create)

5. Install IIS and some other apps like JES and Chrome

6. Use JES to play with colors

Pay careful attention to when deliverables are due; the course calendar provides a good summary of due dates for the week

SLP 540 2

this module, your task is to try the tutorial SQLCourse – Interactive Online SQL Training for Beginners. This is described as:

This unique introductory SQL tutorial not only provides easy-to-understand SQL instructions, but it allows you to practice what you learn using the on-line SQL interpreter. You will receive immediate results after submitting your SQL commands. You will be able to create your own unique tables as well as perform selects, inserts, updates, deletes, and drops on your tables. This SQL tutorial currently supports a subset of ANSI SQL. The basics of each SQL command will be covered in this introductory tutorial. Unless otherwise stated, the interpreter will support everything covered in this course.

The more of the tutorial you can work through, the better; however, your grade is primarily dependent on how you approach the task and how much learning energy you put into it rather than specific output from the tutorial.

Once you have completed your exploration of the tutorial, you are to prepare a review of the tutorial, like the kind of review that you would find in a good computer/information systems journal or website, covering the following topics:

· what the tutorial taught you and what you learned specifically from the tutorial (>75% of your write-up)

· how effective was the tutorial, who might find the tutorial useful, and any other aspect of the tutorial that you think a reader might find useful

Your paper should be three to four pages in length, and reflect your personal experiences with this issue. The important part of all these project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what you might have learned about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.

The more that you can use the exercise to develop personal implications for your growth as a potential business person as well as a moral individual, the more value you’ll get out of the exercise.

Dilemma

Helen wants to move to a new community, and she is applying for a job with a small retail establishment. She is confident that she is fully qualified and will be able to perform well if she gets the job. The employer, however, has advertised for someone with three years of retail experience, and Helen only has two-and-a-half years. She is considering whether to exaggerate slightly on her resume in order to improve her chances of getting the job.

 

Helen asks three friends to offer their advice on what she should do.

 

Henry says, “Go ahead and claim three-and-a-half years of experience; they’re going to be so happy with your work that by the time they check (if they ever do) it won’t matter.”

Jennifer says, “I’m sure you’ll arrive at the best decision on your own; I’ve always known you to be an honest person.”

George says, “It is never all right to lie, even when you are unlikely to get caught and it seems relatively harmless to do so.” 

Initial Post Instructions

For the initial post, address all of the following questions relating to the dilemma:

 

Upon which of the Three Primary Schools of Ethics is each of Helen’s friends relying? Explain your reasoning.

Can you imagine other people using the same approaches to arrive at different kinds of advice? Provide examples.

Do one of these Three Primary Schools of Ethics feel like the style you usually use already? Explain.

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least two peers or one peer and the instructor. Further the dialogue by providing more information and clarification.

 

Writing Requirements

 

Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up)

Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source)
