CST334 Module 8

 What to Write in your Journal Entry  Write a 1 - 2 paragraph description of what you learned this eighth week in CST 334 Topic: persistence - as it applies to Operating Systems as well as it applies to a CST 334 SCD Online student to complete this course~

  • In computer science, persistence refers to the characteristic of state of a system that outlives (persists more than) the process that created it. This is achieved in practice by storing the state as data in computer data storage.
  • In life, persistence refers to the characteristic of firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

Applying to operating systems:
    Persistence is a vital aspect of operating systems due to the general use case computers have developed into. It would be incredibly hard to use a computer if every time you switched programs or turned the unit off your data would disappear. Computers used to behave in a way like this back when they would input and output a physical set of data, but today most bits of information are digital.

Applying to students:
    As for students, we will constantly run into difficult parts in our educational and professional careers and these parts must be overcome, without persistence any hard situation would just be dropped and moved on from which would lead to one not truly advancing from one place to another.

CST489 / 499 Week 16

  For this week, please spend time browsing through your two years of journals and reflect on your overall experience and growth in the program. Some thoughts on future plans would be great, also.   This program has been an interesting two years, we've gone over so much material and yet I know I have so much more to learn just due to the nature of this field. I hope to continue to grow as I have these past 2 years and into a position where I can leverage my new skills.
