1-1 Discussion: Introductions and Operating System Comparisons

Before you complete this discussion, read and complete Cisco Netacad Chapter 1. Then, introduce yourself briefly and share your interests in taking this course.

Next, describe your experience with the following operating systems: Linux, Windows, OSX, iOS, and Android. (You may not have experience with all of them, but you likely have used one or more.) Compare and contrast the operating systems that you have experience with based on at least one of the following features:

• User interface
• Ease of use
• Performance
• Applications
• Support

In your responses to your peers, try to pick those who have different experiences than you do. Consider their initial posts and describe how those features affect you in your professional and personal life. What kinds of issues have you experienced? How did you handle those issues?

ASSESS YOUR CURRENT WORKFLOW

Reflect on your most recent visualization project and try to sketch or write out the approach you took. What stages of activity did you undertake and in what sequence?
