Dear Class:
Database
Day One:
What is a database?
Why use a database—information about customers, information about inventories, any type of information a business would need. You can design, manipulate, sort, and print.
Who has a database—schools, libraries, government, stores, banks, business on inventory and employees
Internet Search:
Who won the Heisman trophy 2 years in a row?? (1974 1975 Archie Griffen
Who Was David Douglas named after?? (David Douglas, a botanist)
Who are some notable alumni from David Douglas??
Record?
Field?
Requirements: contain a unique name, describe the field, <= 64 characters, cannot begin with a space, can’t use . , ! [ ]
Fields have data types—text, number, currency, date/time, yes/no, OLE Object (picture), hyperlink (address), lookup wizard (giving options)
Field size—usually default works but you can assign different sizes
Who has a long name that always gets cut off???
Icebreaker—creating a database about our class
What do we want to find out about each other—pick 10 fields
First Name
Last Name
Age
Favorite Food
Favorite Color
Gender
Eye Color
Birth Month
Job
Database Exp
Programming Exp
Grade
Hobbies
Siblings
Middle School
Sports
Write them on a piece of paper
Pair up to find out information about someone in the class—record it on paper
Let’s put our class in a database. . .
Create a database
Different programs: MS ACCESS, Oracle, Dbase
We use ACCESS
Determine fields and data types
Enter your own data on the first line and SAVE it.
Pass the papers around the room and have each of you enter all the informtion on your own computer.
Open WORD document and create a “Database Notes” file
Vocabulary: database, field, record, data types

ear Class:
Today, I want to continue to look at transitioning to GameMaker 8.0. GameMaker 8.0 is already loaded, although you may have to go to the C drive to load it. The first tutorial consists of:
There are two that are beginner level:
The Scrolling Shooter and the Maze game Either one is beginner. I had another shooter game but it was advanced and I found out you need Game Maker Pro to use it (It has 3D included in it).
There are sounds and icons as well as samples are on the YoYo Games Site. They are in compressed form and I am not sure if 7-up or another decompression software is available. I will have the folders available on "My network places", "View workgroup computers", and then "Green-Hite" computer. It will be in the only shared folder. Only nine students can be on it at a time so I suggest copying the folder to your student folder and then disconnect off of mine.
You did a really good job last time on the Islands and the plane.
We will see how we do!
Review for the final: It will consist of writing a C++ and a Visual Basic program that will be similar to other programs that we ran. You may print out a C++ program, like "Calculator" that has most of the formula and then print out a Visual Basic program such as "Multiplier". You can use these on the final!
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:
There is a good source of tutorials at http://www.vbtutor.net/ that I want to look at.
We worked on the first lesson of the tutorial at the website and the second lesson. I wanted the "simple calculator" and the "color changer RGB" done. We ended up, last class, doing the BMI calculator at the end of Lesson 7.
I want to, as a class, look generally at how to manipulate each of the "objects" put into a program about "Feelings". You will name each picture as "PicHappy", "PicOK", and "PicSad" and for the text, "TextHappy", "TextOK", and "TextSad".
Lesson 3 talks about properties, including color schemes and naming of the window. Lesson 4 talks about object oriented program "OOP" and Lesson 5 speaks of writing the code. Lesson 6 refreshes our minds about managing data (integers, etc. that we have seen before)
We finished Lesson 7 in which you did the "BMI" calculator. I recorded those last time. I do want to do the "grade" calculator in Lesson 10.

Mr. Green-Hite

Lesson 1 had us just do a simple button. In lesson 2, we will do a simple calculator. I need to see the calculator. I did not see all of them. The next lessons are old friends. Lesson 3 talks about properties, including color schemes and naming of the window. Lesson 4 talks about object oriented program "OOP" and Lesson 5 speaks of writing the code. Lesson 6 refreshes our minds about managing data (integers, etc. that we have seen before) and then Lesson 7 is about Mathematical Operations in which you will all do the "BMI" calculator. I hope to get this far today...
