Dear Class:

Today, we will take notes on programming in general and C++ notes in particular in a google document. We may get to "Hello World!" and make sure that we figure out any "bugs" it has.

You need to go to the book room on your own and get the text entitled Introduction to Computer Science Using C++ 3rd edition.

We will look at binary numbers (machine language) as well but toward the last part of class.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

Today we will finish up the DataBase handout we almost finished last class. It is due today after the first 20 minutes of class. Please print out the final sheets, staple them together, and hand them in. I will project up on the screen what I want and how I want it for your parameters. Remember, recheck your data to make sure you are accurate in what you entered.

Otherwise, after the first half of the class, we will be opening up C++ and working on that. There will be a little bit of vocabulary involved but not too much. If you work on it at home, you can download at bloodshed.net. Hopefully, we will do the first bit of a program called "Hello World".

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:


Edit your Report
Use handout
Change font, color, alignment, border, fill
Paintbrush

Publish it to WORD and EXCEL
What can you do with it???

Watch this tutorial: Export Access to Excel or Word

I want your data exported into Excel. I want to do more with it. The following is a new category for Excel that I want put in:

Expenses per day:
Trent 2.43
Hayden 3.40
Loren 2.10
Helena 1.25
Michael 1.75
Kevin Guan 2.24
Ngai 3.10
Kevin McGill 2.00
Ana 1.55
Paul 2.02
Naragan 3.10
Trung 2.25
Nahu 1.11
Brent 2.00
Ryan 3.22
Gabriel 2.22
Felix 1.25
Richard 2.25
Raymond 2.10
Kevin Tomlin 1.11
Josue 2.00
Jason 2.24

Please put in the costs. Total will be "=cell*174" (a year of school will be 174 days). Make sure you copy the formula down by putting your pointer on the "fill handle" (the small black square on the bottom right corner of the cell) and dragging the formula down.
Sort the First names from A-Z
Create a graph. The Graph will reflect the first names and the total spent for year at David Douglas. This will be done by selecting the first name column and then holding down the control key and then selecting the "Total Yearly Expenses". Select two other columns of your choosing. Choose the bar graph for this. Save but do not print. I will look at them next time I am in class.

Print a copy—from WORD?? EXCEL?? OR ACCESS???
Must have enhancements
Correct Spelling—watch caps
Centered on Page
Name on bottom left/period on bottom right
We will do in class.

Watch the following Youtube tutorials together:

Relational databases
Microsoft Access ® 2003 Sales Invoice: 1 Relationships

Query databases
Microsoft Access ® 2003 Sales Invoice: 2 Query

Microsoft Access ® 2003 Sales Invoice: 3 Report


Open DATABASE NOTES
wildcards—* ?
comparison operators—like < > +
compound criteria—using two sets of criteria

Go back to your original database.

QUICK SORT
Filtering—a temporary sort
Filter by selection
Highlight something and click on filter by selection icon
Can only select one criteria
Run filter
Remove filter
Filter by form
Click on Filter by form and enter a criteria
Can select more than one criteria
Run filter
Remove filter
This will be the icon that looks like a "funnel" which I told you about.

Permanent Sort
Creating a Query—extracting specific information
How do you do a query? Go to youtube for a tutorial (Watch as a class)

Using design view
Add a table and select fields
Options:
Sort
Show
Criteria
Or—more than one criteria
When using check boxes yes/no
Criteria:
“smith” matching Smith
“Smith” or Larson” matching both
Not “Smith” everything but Smith
S* everything that begins with S
*s everything that ends with s [a –d]* begins with a through d, ends with anything
between 10 and 15 shows 10 through 15
“Johns?n” shows Johnson and Johnsen

Make sure you understand the query part that adds, limits, and shows data.

We will finish this. I have a handout that we will finish that will end our Database and a quiz on the vocabulary of Database on Tuesday.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

Open notes and make sure we have all these terms: Database, record, field, datatype. ADD objects, table, form, report, querie.

Open Class database in datasheet view—what can we do with it??
Basic—can’t change the header/footer, you can delete it in setup, only have one font, one size for rows
Sizing columns—double clicking between field names or sliding
Sorting—Highlight entire field and use AZ↓ or ZA↓

Highlight a field and use binocular icon to look in, match, search
Navigation bar at bottom to move between records
A "pencil" is displayed on the left when editing a record
A "triangle" is displayed on the left when selecting a record
Add or delete a record
Add a new field in design view—School
Type in David Douglas High School one time and use Control ‘ to repeat in every cell

Work on some OJBECTS:

Create a FORM using wizard
Choose all the fields
Choose a layout—columnar is good for now
Choose a style
Give it a name—click finish
Does everything fit
View/Design View to edit
Edit Field Box and Detail Box
Change font and size
Rearrange to make sure it fits
Shift click to highlight more than one box
Use the paint brush for editing
View Form View to check it out
Print Preview—use the icons to view one, two, multiple pages
Use navigation to get to new record and add the teacher

Was it easier to input data in a form or table object???


Create a Report—create a report using wizard—choose the class table
Pick four fields
Pick a grouping—group by age
Pick a sort—sort by last name

Dear Class:

Please open up your student account on the DDHS server and then open up this blog so that you know what we will be doing today.

Please open up the Database notes we did and we will be adding to them the definition of: objects, table, form, and report.

Then, open up the "Class database" file we did last time. This will reflect the following:

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

You were to write them on a piece of paper and then plug your information on the database itself.

Now, I will be handing out the papers that you did to other students. You will be filling in that raw data into the "Class Database" that we will be using.
