- 11. Phase 3 Chapter 7 Output and User Interface Design This chapter really hits home because this is what I do The website about how users read on the Web made me re-examine how I entered surveys on Websurveyor and how the user views it and even how the client views it
- 12. Phase 3 Chapter 8 Data Design This chapter also made me look at the ways I do things How I could make the output more viewer friendly when being presented to the client Making better relationships between data allows me to come up with cleaner more understandable data for those viewing results
- 13. Phase 3 Chapter 9 System Architecture Most of this chapter was above my level of work but allowed me to understand what was going on After learning about Cost Benefit issues, and backup, I started to view other tickets (a ticket is a job that needs to be done) that are assigned to other analysts and I could understand what needed to be done In my free time I play with batch processing
- 14. Phase 4 Chapter 10 System Implementation System Implementation was just in time, we are currently switching from Abtab ( statistical software that’s 20yrs old, but boss knows it as if he made it) As we switch over I was able to ask questions straight out of the text book that helped us address problems before they arose Needless to say it backfired, we are still using Abtab, I did more scaring then anything
