GO16_AC_CH01_GRADER_1F_AS – Literary Festival Events

  

Project Description:

In this project, you will use a database template and create database objects to track events for the Literary Festival at a college. You will enter records into the Events table using a multiple-items form and a single-items form. You will append data from Excel to the Events table. You will create a second table in the database that tracks contact information for the festival events.

     

Start   Access. Open the downloaded file named go_a01_grader_a2_Literary_Events.accdb   and enable the content.

 

In   the Event List multiple-items form that opened automatically, in the new   record row, enter the following two records (the Start Time and End Time data   will reformat automatically):
 

  Title: Conversation with Aliyah Jones   Start Time: 9/11/21 10a
  End Time: 9/11/21 12p   Description: African American   Nonfiction   Location: Northeast Campus   Theater
  Title: Faculty/Student/Staff Readings   Start Time: 9/11/21 2p
  End Time: 9/11/21 4p   Description: Favorite Passages Location:   Southeast Campus Forum

 

 

In   the Event List form, click New Event and in the Event Details single-record   form, enter the following record (the Start Time and End Time data will   reformat automatically):
 

  Title: An Evening with Michael Evans
  Start Time: 9/11/21 7p
  End Time: 9/11/21 9p
Location:   Northwest Campus Atrium
  Description: Historical Writings

 

 

Close   the Event Details single-record form and the Event List form. Append the   records from the downloaded Excel file go_a01_grader_a2_Literary_Events.xlsx   to the Events table.

 

Open   the Navigation Pane. In the Navigation Pane, organize the objects by Tables   and Related Views. Open the Events table (the table has 13 records). Apply   Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, and then save and close the   table.

 

In   Datasheet view, create a new table. Beginning in the second column of the   table and using the data type of Short Text, create the Campus, Last Name,   First Name, Phone Number,   and Email Address fields (in that order).
 

 

For   the ID field, change the data type to Short Text and rename the field to Contact ID.

 

Starting   in the Contact ID field, add the following two records to the new table:
 

  C-01|Northeast|Woodward|Jean|(512) 555-3704|[email protected]
  C-02|Southeast|Snyder|Amanda|(512) 555-8391|[email protected]

 

Starting   in the Contact ID field, add the following two records to the new table:

  C-03|Northwest|Bass|Jordan|(512) 555-1740|[email protected]
  C-04|Southwest|Sweeney|Megan|(512) 555-7832|[email protected]
 

 

Apply   Best Fit to all of the fields in the table, and then save the table as Festival Contacts.

 

Close   all database objects and exit Access. Submit the database as directed.

In addition, you will establish your Key Assignment template that you will build in Week 1, and each week, you will add material to the appropriate section of the document.

In Weeks 1-4, you were provided with the foundation for implementing data structures using pseudo code.

This week, you will finish the tasks and paper, including the incorporation of appropriate feedback that has been previously received. You will also complete some additional steps, outlined below.

Part 1 Tasks (Objectives from Weeks 1–4):

Review and revise your final paper, which should include the following content:

  • Section 1: Lists, Stacks, and Queues
  • Section 2: Hashing, Heaps and Trees
  • Section 3: Sorting Algorithms
  • Section 4: Searching 

Part 2 Tasks (Objective(s) from Week 5): Finalize Your Key Assignment

In addition, include pseudo code for a routine that will prompt the user for a number. You will then calculate the factorial of that number, using recursion.

Week 5 Deliverables:

The following sections should be completed, including the collaboration of each section IP. Feedback received from the instructor and peers should be incorporated into the final paper.

  • Title Page
  • Table of Contents
  • Abstract
  • Project Outline/Project Background 
    • Section 1: Lists, Stacks, and Queues
    • Section 2: Hashing, Heaps and Trees
    • Section 3: Sorting Algorithms
    • Section 4: Searching
    • Section 5: Recursion 
  • Conclusion
  • References
  • New Content 
    • Create a pseudo code routine that will ask the user for a number, and then using recursion, generate the factorial of that number.
    • Create fully documented pseudo code to prompt for a number and generate the factorial, including error and bound checking.
    • Create a test plan to show how the program runs and can be executed.
    • Name the document “IT265__Final.doc.”

The next structure you will investigate is the Hash table and its methods implemented in pseudo code when linked lists are used to handle collisions. 

The task this week is to complete the pseudo code for the following hash table operations: 

  1. Insert
  2. Remove 

Assume Hashtable is a simple array of size 8, with indices 0..7. Numeric keys are mapped by a Hashfunction that gives the mod(8,n) value for any key “n” yielding the Hashtable index for that key (0..7). A Hashtable entry is null unless a key exists with that index as its hashed index; if so, the Hashtable entry points to the first node of a linked list of keys with that hash index. The last node on this linked list has a null reference for the next referenced node. Assume the occurrence of a linked list node is represented by the object “Node” and its “Data” and “NextRef” attributes.

Week 2 Deliverables:

  • 1 pseudo code implementation of each Hash table operation: Insert and Remove
  • Fully documented pseudo code.
  • Add the completed pseudo code and the output to the Key Assignment template Section 2: Hashing, Heaps and Trees.
  • Name the document “IT265__IP2.doc.” 

Sort algorithms have many trade-offs, in-fact even the sorted output sequences might differ. 

Part 1: Your tasks for this assignment are the following:

  1. Identify at least five (5) algorithm differences that might be considered when choosing a sort algorithm. 
  2. Offer examples of related sorts with the discussion of each difference considered. 

Part 2: Rationalize:

You have formed a hypothesis that Big O analysis is not appropriate for comparing different sort algorithms, but rather for comparing the performance of a given sort algorithm as the number of sort keys change. (Hint: consider locality differences among sorts).

Week 3 Deliverables:

  • 5 fully documented differences among sorting algorithms.
  • Support the differences with Sort algorithms that exemplify the related characteristics.
  • Generate a summary of Sort differences.
  • Include the Big O critique.
  • Name the document “IT265__IP3.doc.”

Key Assignment Draft: Include session changes

The first two Individual Projects used linked lists for stacks, queues, and hashing implementations. With this task, searching performance with linked lists will be addressed. 

Part 1: Your tasks for this assignment are the following:

  1. Discuss the use of a binary tree when searching for keys in an array.
  2. Discuss the use of a binary tree when searching for keys in a linked list. 

Part 2: Complete the following program:

  1. Describe a linked list structure to support binary searching.
  2. Create pseudo code to describe a binary search with this linked list variation. 

Week 4 Deliverables:

  • Summary of binary search with an array.
  • Summary of binary search with a linked list.
  • 1 fully documented pseudo code implementation of a linked list useful for binary searches. 

Part 3: Key Assignment Draft:

  • Section 1: Lists, Stacks, and Queues
  • Section 2: Heaps and Trees
  • Section 3: Sorting Algorithms
  • Section 4: Searching 

Name the document “IT265_yourname_IP4.doc.”

You have been retained by Widget Sales Company, an international company with offices in 25 countries, to develop a website that will allow its employees to enter travel expenses incurred on a business trip and store that data for reporting purposes (see Widget Sales Company Project Overview [DOCX] for more information). It is estimated that, initially, only 100 employees in the United States will use the system, but within two years, all 2,500 employees worldwide will be using it. The site should have functions that ask for input and calculate the following:

  • The total number of days spent on the trip.
  • The time of departure on the first day of the trip and the time of arrival back home on the last day of the trip.
  • The amount of any round-trip airfare.
  • The amount of any car rentals.
  • Miles driven, if a private vehicle was used. The vehicle allowance is $0.58 per mile.
  • Parking fees. (The company allows up to $12 per day. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)
  • Taxi fees. (The company allows up to $40 per day for each day a taxi was used. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)
  • Conference or seminar registration fees.
  • Hotel expenses. (The company allows up to $90 per night for lodging. Anything in excess of this amount must be paid by the employee.)
  • The cost of each meal eaten. On the first day of the trip, breakfast is allowed as an expense if the time of departure is before 7 a.m. Lunch is allowed if the time of departure is before noon. Dinner is allowed if the time of departure is before 6 p.m. On the last day of the trip, breakfast is allowed if the time of arrival is after 8 a.m. Lunch is allowed if the time of arrival is after 1 p.m. Dinner is allowed if the time of arrival is after 7 p.m. The program should ask only for the costs of allowable meals. (The company allows up to $18 for breakfast, $12 for lunch, and $20 for dinner. Anything in excess of this must be paid by the employee.)

The program should perform the necessary calculations to determine the total amount spent by the business traveler in each category (mileage charges, parking, hotel, meals, etc.) as well as the maximum amount allowed in each category. It should then create a nicely formatted expense report that includes the amount spent and the amount allowed in each category, as well as the total amount spent and the total amount allowed for the entire trip. This report should be written to a file.

Phase 1 Instructions

In this phase, you will be analyzing the project from several different roles: Project Manager, Database Analyst, and Python Developer.

For each of these roles provide:

  • A high-level overview of each role. This will be very general and describe what a project manager, database analyst, and developer are expected to perform in any project.
  • What information each role will need in order to complete that portion of it. This will be specific to this particular project. Include the departments and (or) personnel with whom each role will need to interact so there is an overall plan concerning how to proceed.

If you are unfamiliar with any of the roles, you can research the Internet for more information. Feel free to reach out to your peers, as many of these roles are represented by the various majors in the course. This should be a high-level analysis; the details will be provided in Phase 2 of the project.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Analyze the roles of team members and data and functionality requirements needed to develop an application.

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux

by Uncategorized

 

Attached will be a template of the assignment is wanted done. I will do the audio recording narration of each slide.

Instructions

Faster Computing has contacted Go2Linux and requested a brief proposal presentation for migrating its systems from Windows to Linux.

The company is specifically interested in seeing the following information:

(10.1.1: Identify the problem to be solved.)

  • Based on your current understanding of Faster Computing’s business, what are some potential benefits of Linux?
  • The company is aware that many different Linux derivatives exist. Be very specific and choose only one version (e.g., Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, Redhat, CentOS, Kali). Which would Go2Linux recommend, and why? Give specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, support, updates, user interface).

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

  • What steps will be required to migrate the systems from Windows to Linux?
  • Are there graphical interfaces available for the Linux workstations that would provide similar functionality to Windows? Some users are concerned about working with a command-line interface.

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of required technologies.)

  • What tools are available on Linux for the servers to provide file sharing, Linux services, and printing? (e.g., Apache/Nginx, Samba, CUPS, SSH/SCP). Ensure you identify what the functions/services are used for (e.g., Samba is used for file sharing).

(1.1.3: Present ideas in a clear, logical order appropriate to the task.)

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a three- to five-slide PowerPoint narrated presentation.

  • An introductory slide
  • A summary slide
  • Voice narration on every slide

For each slide, you will embed your own audio recording as if you were presenting the content to the Faster Computing team. Faster Computing has not yet committed to the project, so this should be presented as a proposal. The presentation should be visually appealing; the inclusion of at least one image that supports the content and adds value to the proposal is required.

(1.3.3: Integrate appropriate credible sources to illustrate and validate ideas.)

You must cite at least two quality sources.

You used at least 2 references and your references were cited properly following an accepted style. Ask your instructor for clarification.

Use the Migration Proposal Presentation template to get started.

(2.3.1: State conclusions or solutions clearly and precisely.)

You should present your proposal as if you are selling to the company. Revisit all of these important reasons in the summary slide.
