tut week 5

Tut 5 for week five was on uml, not the most exciting tut. Im using a free open source uml molder in Linux.
opensuse 10.2 comes with umbrello. It has every thing you could think of for uml modeling. Well I know that I will do a lot of this in my assignment.

I didn't like the one tut question in which we had to try and recreate a uml diagram out of our text books. That seamed to basic for me but over all the tut was ok.

Tut 4 week 4

Last weeks tut number 4 was for fit2001 was not very interesting, we used the time to ask questions in a group about the assignment. I think the assignment will be quite interesting. We spent quite a bit of time discussing it in the Group.

The session we had with the Lecture was quite quick it was only about 15 min. I sure we got all the info we need for the assignment.

tut 3

I have not posted in while, tut 3 was a bit of a let down. We were supposed to listen to a pod cast with the creator of Basecamp, Jason Fried. It did not happen till after the tut. This is because the internet connection at Monash is controlled buy telkom (read below).

I went to the web site for base camp and did some wikipedia research on the topic. I think its quite an interesting product which was developed in a non traditional way. Similar to Many of the Google things which is release a beta, and keep in a beta state while the users interact with it and give feed back. They call this a gamma sate. It is rapid user centered development. As a good idea gets out their on the web and then the users get to decide how it looks and works.

Its interesting to see that their are other way of doing the same things, and with the internet we have not explored all of them.

FIT2001 week 1

This is a new series of post for a subject I am doing at university. Its called system Analysis and Design. unit code Fit 2001.

This first week of uni is always chaos, as nothing seams to be ready when we arrive at campus. The lecture rooms haven't got equipment connected and we don't have tutorials. This week was different, we had a tutorial and no lecture.

It wasn't a full tutorial either as we didn't have the lecture we couldn't cover all of the course content. I expect the form next week things will be very different.

This course is a second year unit and will probably be a bit more work then last year. I think it will be very interesting as we will get more into systems theory. I am built for studding I really enjoy it and could probably study any thing but IT is where my passion is.

I hope next week will be different and more organized and that things will be working like the library and the new lecture and seminar rooms will be up and running.
