Traveling Through a Network

 Packets are small bits and pieces of data that help us find where we need to go on the internet.  For example, when you Ping a website it sends some packets to see if the website receives, responds, or is lost. Each Ping and Trace route was different from each other due to the domain being different depending on what part of the world you live in. Depending on your physical and geographical location can determine how fast or slow it takes. We use packages all the time when we use the internet so packets are always been used by us.

Pings and Trace routes can be great to use when you need to troubleshoot problems. For example, when a certain website doesn't or can not load for some reason you can ping the website and see if there is a response or not. Everyone can use this for any use because it is useful to know when a site is up or down. Meanwhile for a Trace route command, with large networks with multiple paths, you can troubleshoot and see if they are all working properly. That command can be used in more office settings, job settings, or networking positions. These commands can be helpful in everyday use and can give valuable information about multiple parts of the internet. Sometimes it could time out and even spit out an error. 

That's all for this post, have a nice day!

Newbie's Guide to Java: Algorithmic Design

Learning Java can be tough but there's mores more to it than just the basics of Java. One of the main ideas to Java is Algorithmic Design. What is Algorithmic Design? Algorithmic Design is the process of creating step-by-step instructions to solve a problem or accomplish a task efficiently. It involves selecting the best approach, seeing how complex it is, and ensuring the most optimal performance for the program.   How to apply Algorithmic Design while developing structured programs?   To apply Algorithmic Design and data structure techniques, first it is a must to choose the right data structure that will optimize time and space complexity for the problem at hand. Then, implement algorithms that efficiently manipulate these structures to achieve the desired outcome while maintaining clarity and scalability in your program. Some algorithms and data structures are better suited for specific problems since they offer improved efficiency, reduced complexity, or better scalabilit...

Newbie's Guide to Java

 So,, you want to use Java, well you come to the right place! This guide and blog will help you set up and understand basic fundamentals for getting into Java programming. What Is Java?       Java is a a popular high-level, object-oriented programming language. It is used for creating many applications, games, and tools. This code can run on any platform without recompiling as long as it supports Java. It can run on may platforms such as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.  Installing Java In order to install Java you need to go to the official Oracle website to get the Java SE Development Kit . After that you can install The NetBeans IDE to try out making a "Hello World" Program. For more information you can check out this official guide by Oracle .  Concepts and Features of the Object-Oriented Design Principles Object-oriented design principles in Java are focused on organizing software into objects. Key features include: Encapsulation: restricts access to...

Programming Languages

  Scratch is a website used to create things using building block type coding. It is used by millions and is also used to help teach many others how to create many things like animations, music, and even simple video games. I used to use this program way back in middle school to try to learn programming. As someone that has used this tool before going back to it felt somewhat familiar as I was able to create a very simple scratch project within 30 minutes to an hour. But this return didn’t go completely smoothly, there were some difficulties. Here is my simple scratch game: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1000826814 This game is a simple game of the Scratch mascot cat getting an apple. It is only one level and even features a drawing of my very own stick man character. While I did have experience with scratch previously, I did not have experience with the multiple types of coding like machine language, assembly language, and even python. Using those languages was a first time for ...
