Major Project: Privacy and Data Protection

Image
 PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION   First of all, what is Privacy ? The right to be left alone, or freedom from disturbance or intrusion, is known as privacy. The right to have some control over how your personal information is gathered and utilized is known as information privacy.  (IAPP, 2022) Different cultures have quite different ideas on what a person's privacy rights are and how they should be protected. (EMOTIV, 2022) Why Privacy is a great deal? As more data is collected and exchanged, information privacy is getting increasingly complicated. The uses of data are becoming more sophisticated as technology advances. As a result, organizations are faced with an extremely complex risk matrix for maintaining the security of personal information.  (IAPP, 2022) What is the difference between Privacy and Security? Data privacy is concerned with the usage and regulation of personal data, such as establishing procedures to ensure that consumers' personal...

The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics

Image
You may not copy or use proprietary software unless you have paid for it. Some businesses are tempted to acquire a single copy of a program and distribute it to multiple computers. "Pirates" are pursued aggressively by organizations like the Business Software Alliance, which face severe fines and negative publicity if found. Pirates of software are rarely apprehended. Using a shareware program for an extended period of time without registering it is the same as stealing it. (Goldsborough, 2004) One of the best examples of the 6th commandment is Netflix. Netflix is a platform where you can watch movies, series, documentaries, animes, cartoons, etc. Which gives you a great range of options. However, great things usually come with a price, that is why Netflix also has subscriptions. People generally like the features of Netflix. However, the price you need to pay for a subscription that you might use only once a week or once a month does not sound very appealing. That is when pe...

Initial Idea 2: Computer Programming

Image
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING What is Computer Programming? Computer programming is the process of designing and developing a wide variety of software programs in order to achieve a specified computing result. The process includes duties such as analysis, coding, algorithm generation, checking algorithm accuracy, resource consumption of algorithms, etc. The goal of computer programming is to find a set of instructions that will allow a computer to solve a given problem. (Martin, 2022) Computer Programming is not hard if done correctly. The hard part of it is finalizing the right programming language because there are many programming languages. (Martin, 2022) (TSR, 2022) Programming languages, like normal human languages, have a grammar called syntax. There are several fundamental program code parts that are shared by all programming languages.  (Hansen, 2022) Important components of programming languages are; -Programming Environment -Data Types   -Variables   -Keywords ...

Initial Idea 1: Database Design and Implementation

Image
 DATABASE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION First of all,  What is DATA? Data are facts or pieces of information about the object under review. For instance, the person's name, age, height, weight, ethnicity, hair color, and birthdate, are examples of personal data. Data encompasses more than just written facts; it also includes photographs, images, and files. (CFI, 2022) (Twinkl, 2022) There are a few terms for understanding the connection between data and databases. - Fields Fields store the most specific details of information about the data. - Record Record is the storage of connected data. - Table Table is the storage of connected Records. - Database A collection of Tables, but... What is a Database? A database is a collection of logically connected data that is arranged in a way that makes it easy to access, manage, and change. Databases are typically accessed electronically through a computer system and managed by a database management system (DBMS). (CFI, 2022) (CFI,...

Software/Hardware skills

Software/Hardware skills Software(s) used in the past -Google Flutter software language for some time. (Self-study) -C++ for educational purposes for two years. -Draw.io for creating flow charts. -WordPress software to create a website based on marketing education. -Excel to create databases for the website. -Word for article writings. Before the course Did not have any engagement with computer courses (programming, computing, cyber security) before this course Hardware(s) used in the past for special reasons, Expectations. Did not use hardware for any special reason in past. However, assuming that I will be able to experiment with hardware(s) in my DMU career. Also for software languages expect to learn while studying at DMU is Python as a starter. However, expecting to learn even advanced software languages. What is the profit of learning software/hardware skills? Since we are moving into the computing sector inch by inch. Whatever it is that we learn, it might or will be useful thro...

Introduction Post

  Reason for choosing DMU I did not have many options other than DMU through the appliance period. Therefore knowing people who are studying at DMU influenced my choice as well.  What sparked my interest in DMU As I have mentioned earlier I did not have many options but it was because of people I know studying at DMU.  My Course title Computer Science BSc (Hons) with International Incorporated Bachelor Mandatory and optional modules for the course All modules are mandatory, the importance rate is up to % of effecting the last marks My goal after finishing the course (Work, placement, job, gap year  etc.) Probably going to keep studying for now What skills can DMU equip me to help me achieve my goals? Academic English skills, which is necessary for higher education. Essential computing and programming skills which are useful for course work and future studies. Where do I see myself after 10 years? I am seeing myself working flex hours and having my free time spent wor...

Welcome!

  About me Welcome to my Blogpost,  I am Selim Korfez, 17 years old. From Turkey but before coming to England have lived in Italy for three years. While I was studying in Italy, my family decided to move to England, and after all that I am currently studying computer science at DMUIC.  Interested in working with computers, designing, and drawing. Nowadays everyone works with computers but it is not all working for me. I mostly use my computer for playing fps games and watching stuff. It was not different before either, it might differ with the second option but playing games is always a present feature of computers in our lives. Watching stuff might contain; watching TV series, watching Youtube videos, watching Anime, etc.  By mentioning watching Youtube videos, I want to add also that Youtube videos are not only entertaining content but also an easy way to improve skills in any manner. If I give an example from myself it would be car design sketching and 2d characte...
