Dis is Late I Guess

This week in IT I worked on late work that I had due, as well as a big database project. I also started learning Ruby on my own time in IT.

In IT related news, the new model of the Dell XPS 15 was released this week. It features an upgraded graphics card, along with the new 7th generation Kaby Lake processor series from Intel. There are also rumors about the new IPhone 8, which could get rid of the Touch ID feature completely. The rumors state that Apple could be moving towards a two-factor fingerprint and facial recognition feature. Finally, we learned more about AMD's new Zen architecture, which will be marketed as RYZEN for desktops and mobile devices.

Since I missed the programming blog last week, I might as well throw a batch in here. This week saw an adventure into the world of Ruby. In my experience with coding, Ruby is one of the most simplistic languages I have seen. The language is very close to actual English, with most of the functions being relatively self-explanatory in their function. The basics are similar to Java, with a few more useful features thrown in, like the UNTIL loop, a feature that would be greatly welcomed in Java.

That should be about it for this week.

And So It Begins

     Since this is my first blog post, I guess it would be smart to lay out how I would like these posts to go on a weekly basis. I want to have a programming post on Wednesday, hardware on Thursday, and  some kind of random post on Friday morning, probably about networking . I will cover topics ranging from hardware, advancements in the field, my escapades in programming, and any other things I find interesting during the week.

     Programming Wednesdays will normally be an introspection of the weeks attempts at programming something. I will also talk about various programming languages and any cool things I found that week in my adventures.

     Hardware on Thursday will read a lot like a series of reviews. I will talk about primarily home PC parts, advancements in the field of hardware, any cool new toys that come out, and my predictions for what will flop or take off.

     As I said Friday will not have a set topic, but will most of the time revolve around general networking and advancements. I may include talks about AI, robotics, or security from time to time.

     I think that should be about it for my first blog post. Stick around for my first real posts next week starting on Wednesday.
