The first resource compares MySQLi and PHP data objects (PDO’s). I don’t think the first half is particularly relevant given MySQLi stopped working with PHP 7, but it still explains the PDO well enough that I think I have a better understanding than the book. It goes over signing into the database, error tossing, and data fetching.

   The second source is a little more speculative because I’m so busy this week between work and my other class, I haven’t had a ton of time to knock this out yet. So far I can connect to my database, but I still need to make sure I can insert into and recall data from my database to fulfill the requirements for the assignment. I intend to continue with the PHP data objects and will use the below video as a reference. What I have watched so far appears to show what I think I will need to do.

   I’ll probably be coming back to this discussion numerous times over the rest of the week to hopefully learn from everyone’s sources. With any luck I won’t have a ton of questions, but I will ask them here if I have them. Best of luck everyone and I hope you are not swamped!

Critical Thinking Assignment #6: 

Java Program #6 of 6 (70 Points) 

Java Interactive GUI Application for Number Guessing with Colored Hints

 (based on Module 7 material) 

1) Develop a Java application that plays a “guess the number” game as described below.

a) Your application first gets a random number in the range 1-1000 inclusive (you

might want to use Math.random() or the Random class).  

b) The application then displays the following prompt (probably via a JLabel):

I have a number between 1 and 1000.  Can you guess my number? 

Please enter your first guess. 

Post a textbox for the user to enter a number and post a message telling the user to

hit ‘Enter’ after entering a guess in a textbox (probably using a JTextField).  

c) Input the user’s guess in the code for a previously-registered event-handler

method (consider using the event-handling approach discussed in the text, or the

actionPerformed() method of class based on the ActionListener interface, which

will require some additional research outside the text). 

d) For the first guess, color the entire background red, meaning that they are getting

warmer (you might want to use the setBackground() method for a container).  If

this is the second or later guess, and they are further from the correct number than

the last guess, then color the entire background blue.  If they get the correct

number then color the background some other color than red or blue. 

e) If the user guessed the number correctly, respond with their number, post a

congratulatory message, get a new random number, and display a JButton to start

a new game.  Otherwise, to help the user close in on the correct number, post a

message, with their guessed number, whether they are “TOO HIGH” or “TOO

LOW” from the correct number, and whether they are “WARMER” or

“COLDER” (this should match the background color).  Also report the guess

number of the next guess (e.g. “Enter guess number nnn”). You might want to use

a concatenated string in JLabel for these incorrect guess messages.   

f) The process is repeated each game until the user guesses the correct number.  Be

sure that you erase obsolete status messages. 

You must run your program for a scenario where the number is not guessed

correctly for at least 4 (four) tries (it can be more).  A game where you guess the

correct number on the fourth try is acceptable.  You must show all user inputs and

program outputs for this scenario, not just a sample. 

Your submitted output must include the appropriate red or blue background after

each guess.  

You must include at least one “warmer” and one “cooler” result.  

To help you visualize what is required for this program please review the sample

output from the last step in these specifications below.

(This program was taken from Exercise 11.15 on page 592 of Deitel & Deitel’s “Java

How to Program (Sixth Edition)” (2005 by Pearson Publishing Co.)) 

Be sure that you include the course, the program number, your name, and the date in your

program header.  Include additional comments as necessary and maintain consistent

indentation for good programming style as shown in the text.  Be sure that you capture all

of your output for this program’s execution for full credit! 

2) You may use any Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you choose to

develop your source code, compile and link your code, and execute your program

(jGRASP is recommended).  Or you may use the Windows Command Prompt.  

3) You are to submit the following deliverables in a single Microsoft Word file in this order,

and clearly labeled.  

a) A screen snapshot of your Java source code (all file(s) shown separately)

displayed in the IDE or Windows editor showing a successful compilation if

possible (only the beginning of the source file(s) are necessary).

b) A listing of your entire source code file(s).  

c) A screen snapshot of all of your program’s inputs and outputs for a complete

number guessing game.  Partial screen snapshots from a game will result in lost

points.  

4) Your instructor may compile and run your program to verify its correctness.

5) You will be evaluated on (in order of importance): 

a) Following directions and inclusion and packaging of all deliverables in Step #3. 

b) Correct execution of your program (this includes proper compilation).  This also

includes getting the correct answers! 

c) Proper commenting of your Java code and indentation (as specified in the text).

d) Neatness in packaging of your deliverables (to include putting the items in Step

#3 in the correct order). 

6) Here’s an example of what the output from your application might look like: 

7)  

8) 

When contemplating the execution of a project, we must include topic like “Organizational Structure” and “Organizational Culture”.  Search the Internet and determine the three (3) major organizational structures. Then define and discuss culture,  what is it, and how can it impact the execution of your project?

All posts must be a minimum of 250 words. APA reference. 100% original work. no plagiarism.

1.  When you are designing a Local Area Network what components on the network would you include in your physical diagram?

2. Network Evolution and Trends – Why would organizations use BYOD to have their employees bring their devices to work?  What are some advantages and disadvantages of this trend? 

Each questions 350 words and provide references 

Question 1

What is Risk Management? And provide at least one example of project, product, and business risks.

Note: You do not need to write complex statements taken from web resources. This is a discussion and you will earn better grade if you compose the discussion in your own words and correct grammar based on reading chapter 22 and reputable articles. 

Question 2

Description

Explain why the process of project planning is iterative and why a plan must be continually reviewed during a software project.

Note: Please list your reference/s.

1.  Explain the behavior approach and 2 general kinds of behaviors.  What is the central purpose of the behavior approach?

You should post a follow-up response to at least one other classmate.

Geri’s post reminded me about viruses in Mac Vs Windows. From time to time I hear from students about how Macs tend to get fewer viruses. Why do you think Windows has a bad rep with viruses and hacks? Is there a reason for being attacked more than a Mac? Are Macs more secure than Windows? What are your thoughts?

Related Diversification. Related Diversification is the most popular distinction between the different types of diversification and is made with regard to how close the field of diversification is to the field of the existing business activities. Related Diversification occurs when a company adds to or expands its existing line of production or markets. For this assignment, consider your own company or one that you know well. Assume your company opted to pursue a strategy of related diversification and respond to the following questions. 

• What industries or product categories could it diversify into that would allow it to achieve economies of scale?
• Identify at least two or three such industries or product categories?
• Describe the specific kinds of cost savings that might accrue from entry into each?
• Incorporate our coursework (Thompson text and other material) from this week into your above responses.

Submission Details: 

• Your analysis should be between 1000 -1500 words.
• Incorporate a minimum of at least our course text and one non-course scholarly/peer reviewed source in your paper.
• All written assignments must include a coverage page, introductory and concluding paragraphs, reference page, be double-spaced, and proper in-text citations using APA guidelines.
