Programming
I developed my programming skills with a four-month long course which involved learning HTML coding and programming using VB .NET. I developed a basic website from scratch using HTML coding. Then, I began to learn the logic behind programming in VB .NET and gained experience developing basic applications for desktop and web use.
HTML
Using HTML and CSS coding, I developed a website consisting of six pages that contain meta tags, a table, a navigation bar, and images. This deliverable was developed using Notepad ++ version 6.4.5. This website has also been tested for compatibility in three different browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
Microsoft Visual Basic
This deliverable consists of a VB .NET application which calculates the scale of an aerial photograph after the user enters a camera focal length, aerial camera flying height, and the elevation of a ground point. When appropriate variables are entered, the map scale is calculated and the application plays a sound of an aircraft flying overhead. The application also allows the user to save the entered and calculated values to a text file. This deliverable allowed me to gain a basic familiarity with a VB .NET solution and understand basic object oriented programming. Additionally, the design, planning, and development of this practical VB .NET solution allowed me to learn how to design a user interface, validate user inputs, perform mathematical operations, and format output results.
