Scalable Data Infrastructures

SDI is our introduction into coding.  The goal is to teach us basic programming skills.  We will be using a text editor for our assignments (I am using Sublime Text).  Utilize different data types, variables and output.  Control program flow with conditionals, logic and loops.  Build Javascript functions and learn some object oriented programming.  We will start using Git and Github (version control).

This is the first real coding class and the beginning of our development journey at Full Sail. I have been waiting for this since I enrolled for the program and it is finally here!

Project 1:

We had to create a Javascript version of a flowchart that we were provided.  Our code was to be based on a story.  Mine was about skiing.  The flowchart started with setting some variables that included a string, string with escapes, number and boolean. The chart also had a boolean conditional, a number conditional, a string conditional, a string concatenation and a math function that all needed to be output.  This was interesting since it was my first time writing Javascript with a story.  The story actually helped.  My code.



Project 2:

Well same thing again this week.  We were given a flowchart and supposed to come up with a story or process and code it to fit the flowchart.  Instead of explaining the chart I have included it below.  I stuck with my same story and just expanded it.  My Code.

  1. I am currently attending Full Sail for Web Development and Design. I know little to nothing about this industry and I am kind of trying to get a start. I will start my first course 'Scalable Data Infrastructure' and I cannot seem to find out what it is. I would really like to know, that way I have an idea of what is going on before my course starts. Can you point me to a source that explains what it is and gives some examples? Thanks is advanced!

  2. Hello Peter,

    My name Is Manny Monteagudo and I am also an aspiring Mobile Developer. I have not reached this course yet; however, I have been trying to do a lot of learning on my own so I can have a better understanding of what my next steps are. Since you have taken this course, How would you rate this class? Does the class do a great job on building a foundation upon itself? My concern is i know this class is only a month long and I worry I would not be able to grasp the concept as thoroughly as I would like. Any thoughts or suggestions ?
