About Me


    Hello everyone! This is Justin Bogaerts writing your newest tech blog! I am from Nashville, TN, but have lived in Las Vegas, NV for 8 years. My previous profession as a Special Education Teacher was an exciting career, but I have changed paths and am entering the field of IT with the University of Arizona Global Campus. I have the cutest pug puppy that is my world and spend most of my time working and going to school. Las Vegas is certainly an exciting place to live and I have loved every minute. 

As I'm writing this "About Me" section, I am looking at the Stratosphere out of my balcony and love the view of Las Vegas Boulevard.  Learning to code has been a goal of mine for many years and I am very excited to make this dream come true. I am fairly fluent in HTML and am quickly picking up on Python, Java, and other more advanced programming languages. Most importantly, I find myself enjoying what I'm doing. My other great hobby is playing guitar and that seems to have taken a back-seat for the moment, but music will always be a love of mine. I seem to stay focused on coding, music, and that's about all I have time for with working full-time. Best of luck to everyone and I hope you enjoy my upcoming posts.

Employee Management System - Simple Project

Image
  The employee management system project is designed to take user input and store the information as variables for later use. As Miller, Vahid, and Lysecky point out, a variable “is used to remember a value for later use" (2015). Creating the variables of employeeName, employeeSSN, employeePhone, employeeEmail, and employeeSalary were to hold the information to display later in the program. Variable types were string with the exception of the salary input that was set as an integer.             Repetition was very useful in writing this code. Each line was the same just changing the variable name and type in the string. Employee salary was the only line that had an addition with the sep= function to remove the space after the $ sign in the code. This was used for appearance purposes. Setting the variables to strings allowed the user to enter dashes if needed and parenthesis if desired for the phone number. Setting the variabl...

Explicit and Implicit Variables

  What is a Variable? Using implicit or explicit variables is an important decision when choosing what language to use when writing a program or starting to code. In simplest terms, a variable is used to remember a value for later use. The way different programming languages use variables is important for programmers to keep in mind when choosing how to code variables. Implicit variables are when the compiler chooses the type of output and explicit variables are when the programmer pre-assigns variables to have a specific output. Examples of Variables Each can be useful depending on the program that is being written. Boudreau points out that implicit variables can often be easier to use in programming and that sometimes the results can be just fine. However, leaving the compiler making that decision making on an assumption can often lead to problems. Explicit assigning of variables gives a more specific output and result and can be much more reliable. Depending on the lan...

Creating Tables in MySQL

  Creating Tables in MySQL           Creating tables in MySQL is important so that a user can add information, delete information, and update an entry using SQL statements. Also, a final statement was created to join all three tables demonstrating the relationships between the three tables. The INSERT function was used to add rows to the first table named tbldvdtitles. The information was inserted and the code and the results are pictured below: MySQL instructions were used by Oracle to guide the use of MySQL. The next table was a table called tbldvdActors with the information inserted and results below: Updating and deleting rows were part of the requirements for the interactive assignment and the following code was used: A third table was created to describe the relationships between actor ID and the ASIN number for each movie and the results were as follows: Joining all three tables was the last step and the results were as follo...
