What I Learned in CompSci #19: Presentation Tips

Presentation Tips 

1. Use Compelling materials
2. Be Simple
3. Minimize the number of slides
4. Know what to say, don't just read what's on the presentation
5. Time what to do
6. Give it a rest
7. Use vibrant colors
8. Be creative
9. Edit ruthlessly before presenting

Use Compelling Materials
Have a reliable source and make sure that your contents are correct. Remember that Powerpoint only gives slide, you make the presentation. Have good contents and design
Be Simple
When making a presentation, it is best to be simple. Simplicity is good, only be complicated when needed
Minimize the Number of Slides
If your presentation is long, people will probably be bored. Minimize the number of slides and be concise
Know What to Say, Don't Just Read What's on the Presentation
Don't just read what's on the slide because we can also read them. Know what to say and have a copy if needed
Time What to Do
Knowing what to say is not enough, also know when to talk and know what to do when
Give It a Rest
*resting resting resting* Don't just work continuously, have a break and give yourself and your audience a chance to rest
Use Vibrant Colors
They're awesome. Don't use dull colors, not only because they are hard to read, but because they are boring to look at
Be Creative
Be creative, it's a must if you want to create an awesome and effective presentation
Edit Ruthlessly Before Presenting
Check the grammar and spelling, check like you are an audience

What I Learned in CompSci #17: CSS

CSS

  Cascading - Multiple styles can overlap. Which style gets applied pertains to the rules of CSS cascading logic.
  Style - CSS deals with presentation and design
  Sheet - CSS is normally located on a separate file

3 Implementation:
   1. In-line - as attribute
       Example:

   2. Embedded / Internal - as style tag
       Example:
               

   3. External - as a separate file
       Example:
           

CSS Syntax:

Types of Selector:

1. Element Selector - selects all element of a specific tag.(ex:body,p,span,...)
2. Class Selector - selects all element of a given class.(ex:class=a, .a)
3. ID Selector - selects all element of a given ID.(ex:id=b, #b)
4. Pseudo Selector - selects all element with a user activated state(ex: :hover, :visited)

What I Learned in CompSci #15: Searching Tips

Web Searching

Another thing that I learned, tips and tricks on searching

Tips and Tricks

1. Use web friendly words - use the more likely phrase or word
2. Less is more - be simple
3. Search with an exact phrase - use quotation mark
4. Don't worry about cases - search isn't case sensitive
5. Search within a specific site - use site:
6. Don't worry about punctuation - search ignores special characters
7. Search by file type - use filetype:*the file format*
8. Get number conversions - by typing the number and unit
9. Get the time - use time
10. Get currency conversions - use [currency 1] in[currency 2]
11. Check the weather - use weather and the place
12. Get definitions - use define:
13. Calculate anything - enter any math equation
14. Exclude a word or site - add a dash

Use Web Friendly Words
This means you should search using a phrase or word that is more likely to be shown on the internet. We shouldn't be complicated, but instead search for the simplest possible word
Less is More
Instead of searching a long phrase or words, you are more likely to find what you are looking for if you use the simplest and most possible word, like what I mentioned above
Search With an Exact Phrase
To search with an exact phrase, put a quotation mark around the phrase. But be careful because you might miss another possible result
Don't Worry About Cases
Search engines usually ignore the case
Search within a specific site
To search for something within a specific site, add "site:*website*"
Don't Worry About Punctuation
Search engines ignores special characters and punctuation marks.
Search By File Type
To search something with a specific file type, add "filetype:*file format*"
Get Number Conversions
To get the number conversion, just type the number and unit
Get the Time
You can know the time in any country, you can do this by typing "time *place*"
Get Currency Conversion
To get the equivalent value of a specific currency in another currency, just type "*currency 1* in *currency 2*"
Check the Weather
To know the weather in a specific place, just type "weather *place*"
Get Definition
To know the meaning of a certain word, just type "define:*word*"
Calculate Anything
Bored of calculation manually? Then just use a calculator, but you could also compute using search engines. You can do this by typing any math equation
Exclude a Word or Site
Some websites are not reliable, you can remove them or make them not appear when you search by adding a dash 

Evaluating Search Result
Why do you need to evaluate your search results?
 There are two main reasons:

1. Quality Control - anyone can publish on the web, so there is little quality control, and information is often inaccurate and/or out-of-date
2. Reviewing the success of your search - careful evaluation can help you produce better work, raising your marks

5 Questions to ask

1. Author
2. Host Site
3. Audience
4. Currency
5. Content

What I Learned in CompSci #12: DNS

DNS

Another lesson that I learned in Computer Science 1 2nd Quarter is DNS or Domain Name System.

Domain Name System  
     -It is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services,  or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network
     -It is organized into a naming hierarchy which is used to identify domains that are at different levels
     -It provides name server operations, which entails mapping a user-friendly name to a routable address

Domain
     -Is a group of computers with a common set of rules.

Subdomain
     -Is a domain in a domain

Top Level Domain Names Example:

•  .com - commercial organization
•  .edu - educational institutions
•  .org - noncommercial organization
•  .gov - government
•  .net - companies involve in the Internet infrastructure
•  .biz - added to accommodate buisness
•  .info - informational website
•  .aero - aerospace company
•  .pro - professional groups

What I Learned in CompSci #11: Protocols

Network Protocols

One of the first thing I learned in Computer Science 1 2nd Quarter is Protocols

Protocols
     -It is a set of rules that governs the communication between computers on a network
     -These rules include guidelines the following characteristics of a network:

• Access Method
• Allowed Physical Topologies
• Types of Cabling
• Speed of Data Transfer

Some Protocols:

1. IP or Internet Protocol
2. TCP or Transmission Control Protocol
3. UDP or User Datagram Protocol
4. FTP or File Transfer Protocol
5. SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
6. HTTP or HyperText Transfer Protocol
7. ARP or Address Resolution Protocol
8. DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol   

  Internet Protocol
      -It is the primary network protocol used on the internet.
      -It is often used together with TCP and referred as TCP/IP. 

IP Address:

• IPv4 or Internet Protocol version 4
• most widely used network address
• It is 32 bits long, which conceptually allows for 232 addresses (4,294,967,296)
• written in dotted decimal notation, with one byte (eight bits) between each dot
• Example: 192.168.100.25.
• each number can have a value ranging from 0 to 255
• Classified into Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D
• IPv6 or Internet Protocol version 6
• intended to be the successor to IPv4
• 128 bits in length
• supports 2¹²⁸ addresses
• Example: fe83::2cfb:cc9a:298f:fb74%11
• MAC Address / Physical Address
• Each device on a LAN is identified with a Media Access Control (MAC) address
• Some people refer to this value as a hardware/physical address as well, because manufacturers might place the MAC address on a logic board (such as an NIC) inside the computer
• Example: 00:27:C4:A3:64:52

Transmission Control Protocol
      -It is a connection-oriented network
      -It is used by Internet applications like World Wide Web

User Datagram Protocol
     -It is a connectionless-oriented network
     -It allows to send messages or datagrams to other hosts on an IP network

 File Transfer Protocol
     -It is the standard network protocol used to transfer files over a TCP-based network such as the Internet


Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
     -It is used for or e-mail transmission across IP networks


Hypertext Transfer Protocol
     -It is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web


Address Resolution Protocol
     -It resolves IP addresses into user-friendly names

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
     -It used to dynamically assign IP addresses to network nodes
