Tech Topic Connection:            Week 5 Assignment 1:   Post 7:   Tech Topic Connection Aaron Bicknell INT100: Fundamentals of Information Technology & Literacy Prof. John Santorio September 20, 2021     The topic that I have selected for this blog post is programming languages.   In a previous post, I have provided some background on programming languages in general.   The other posts here have centered on other tech topics such as hardware, software, network topology, and digital security.   Out of all these topics, programming languages are what tie all these topics together and allow us to use computers as tools in our day-to-day lives.   Programming languages allow us to create the software packages that we use to interface with these machines.   They are the tools that tell the computers what to do by turning switches on and off.   These switches store data.   They ...

  Week 5 Final Project:   Blog Post Aaron Bicknell CPT304: Operating Systems Theory & Design (IND2151A) Dr. Joshua Reichard January 31, 2022   The course, CPT304: Operating Systems Theory & Design (IND2151A), at The Forbes School of Business & Technology has given me the opportunity to review in detail the fundamental concepts of operating systems and prompted this overview for inclusion in this blog entry.   Computer operating systems are designed to provide services necessary for the functioning of computers and processing devices.   The textbook Operating System Concepts Essentials (2nd ed.) uses an anecdote to describe an operating system's job.   The book states that "An operating system is similar to a government. Like a government, it performs no useful function by itself.   It simply provides an environment within which other programs can do useful work" (Silberschatz et al., 2014, p. 4).   While it may not ...

Mobile App Review / Discussion  I may have mentioned in my introduction that I have a pastime of power lifting.   As part of my training, many of my exercises are based off formulas associated with what is called a “One Rep Max”.   This number is a theoretical maximum amount they can be lifted in a single attempt based upon calculations of repetitions of lower numbers.   As the formulas to calculate the maximum potential are rather complex, I use an application called “One Rep Max” by Vander soft.   As you can see in Figure 1 below there is a data entry portion to log the weight of the lift and the number of repetitions.   It then displays the calculated “1RM” or estimated maximum lift potential.   One feature that I would like to see is to show both imperial and metric measurements.   In the united states, most weights are measured in pounds, however if competitions or in other countries metric is used.   It would be very handy to have both ...
