This assignment was the final project in the course. The task was to create a Craps game in which a user logs into their account, makes a bet, then rolls dice until either winning or losing the game. In addition, there must be a page to allow a new user to create an account.

This assignment required me to put to use all of the things I learned in the course. The pages all display basic HTML. The PERL scripts perform calculations, generate random numbers (for dice), make use of variables, read files, and write to files.
One of the projects for this course was to do a presentation. For my presentation, I chose to demonstrate how to install and use Ubuntu, a distribution of Linux. I chose this for my artifact because I had to put more work into this assignment than any other assignment in the couse.
This artifact is the final project of the course. For the project, we needed to create a database that contained the following:
  • At least 2 tables
  • At least 2 forms
  • At least 2 reports
  • A switchboard (menu) to access each element of the database
  • At least one relationship between 2 fields in different tables
This was the first task for the course. The objectives of this task were to create a dual boot configuration with DOS and Linux, setup Linux with multiple partitions that have specific mount points, and load networking packages without rebooting the computer.
In this task, we were given a scenario where there was a need to have 4 sub-networks that had at least 18 computers on each. We had to choose the proper subnet mask that would allow us to create the specified sub-networks, then we had to write a script that actually created them. There were also rules where each subnet could only reach a certain domain.
