My Reflections

We cannot argue our lives have become fully dependant on data. Leak or hack of our personal data means a lot to us and we take great care to maintain our privacy on the internet. This course gives a more in depth idea how companies store people's data and how they are sorted so that large amounts of data are found quickly. As data continues to become larger and larger, we need to make sure there are no redundancies. Software engineers link databases to the programs and websites they have made to store the data his/her programs and websites have gathered from users. So, this is a very interesting topic that was taught. 

 

My first Impressions

Databases were very new to me. I knew big companies stored data on servers, so I thought we would be working with servers. However, I never knew there were so much done behind the scenes like scripting as well as so many concepts being introduced so that the data stored, is not redundant. All of these got me even more excited.
