WEEK 10

Basically, today's tutorial class of FSM4401 is focused on Transaction Processing System (TPS). It is sort of information system used by an enterprise at which data transaction is collected, stored, modified and retrieved. TPS consists of three parts, including inputs, processes and outputs. One of the examples under inputs which all of us are familiar to is data storage. It acts as base of an enterprise's system. TPS is mainly used to measure performance, provide reliability and ensure consistency in our works. During the lab session, the comments we got back from lecturer is quite good. I myself think that this is such a good opportunity for us to gain new knowledge as without this assignment, perhaps I will never get a chance to participate in websites designing. And through this coursework also, we learnt to communicate with others (restaurant owner etc), sort of small business meeting. However, changes and modification still have to be made to improve our work. Apart f...

Our FSM4401 class is on every Wednesday from 10-12pm (tutorial) and 2-5pm (lab). While there was some exception for this week class, as our class had been replaced by websites presentation, CIP-UPM , which means that we had whole day presentation the past Wednesday. The presentation was conducted in one of the meeting rooms at Food 5. It was a brand new experience for us since that was the first time we gave presentation in such meeting room (presentation is usually conducted in classroom ). Everything was fine. Each group was given one hour time to setup, present with Q&A session. During the presentation, we talked on SWOT analysis of WaffleWaffle! At Bkt Serdang and also had an brief explanation on the websites we designed for them. I was the one who start the presentation on that day. A bit regret to say that I was not so in condition while our group was presenting. Kind of blur. Anyhow, it is done and let's improve next time. I have a bunch of lovely teammates. F...

We were exposed to 'Blockchain' before our class started today. So, what is Blockchain? "Blockchain is the world's leading software platform for digital assets. Offering the largest production block chain platform in the world, new technology is used and incorporated to build a radically better financial system." While Bitcoin is one of the important components when comes to talk on Blockchain. Bitcoin is a worldwide cryptocurrency and digital payment system. It is called the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central repository or single administrator. However, all this while, this system is only being implemented in foreign countries. Recently, Malaysia is trying to bring in and work on Blockchain. It is said to be will bring convenience to all the industries, thereby contributing to country's economic growth. As Bitcoin which acts as money in virtual form will increase the effectiveness in terms of financial...

During the lecture class in Week 7, we were exposed to a new word, 'ARPANET'. So, what is the exact definition of 'ARPANET'? Basically, it is defined as the network which serves as basis for Internet. Back in 1967, the first concept derived had kick-started the development of 'ARPANET' under the direction of U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). And with the initial purpose of providing convenience for users t o communicate with and share computer resources, it was then upgraded to higher level from time to time.   Next, E-commerce which is the trend nowadays had been introduced in class too. The most common E-commerce examples that we encounter in our daily life include Amazon, eBay and so on. With these, shopping without stepping out of our house is no longer a dream. (But frankly speaking, we are so into online shopping :)) As usual, we had a short reporting session on our CIP Progress in lab hours. For our group, we had done the website dr...
