Introduction

Hello,


My name is Colby Fraser and I attend Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island. Currently, my major is network engineering. I plan on changing my major to computer programming. My dream job would be owning my own programming company where I would subcontract projects. My expectations, however, are to be at least a lead project manager at a well-known company.


I have a few hobbies. I enjoy snow boarding and video games. I signed up for Ski and Snowboarding club here at school, as well as Psychology Club. I love riding my bike and BMX. Video editing in Sony Vegas Pro is fun as well.


I am from the small town of Pembroke, New Hampshire. I have lived in New Hampshire for my whole life, half of it in the city, the other in a town. I hope to gain needed knowledge to succeed in this industry from this class and future classes.

Alice 2-1 In the Lab Penguin Dance


 Above is a homework assignment for FIT1012. I used Alice 2.3 to create a scene of penguins talking and dancing together. The skill set I learned is that methods can be used to organize the code for future use and debugging. There are three penguins; Pamela, Peter, and Paul (left to right). At first, they each give a greeting, then peter says "welcome to the Penguin Dance". They all start dancing. The closing scene has them one by one exiting the scene by gliding.

Alice 2.3

Alice is an object-oriented programming application that allows users to learn the basic fundamentals of the end product of programming without coding. I found the program user-friendly and creative. The program makes organizing information easy. So far, the task have been simple and I swept right through them. However, I am sure that there will be tedious assignments to come.

Twitter for Business

Tyler McMullen, Tim Batzinger, Richard Potts, and myself made a Google presentation on the benefits of twitter for business. Twitter can be used for large corporations to advertise a new product line to the masses or small business advertising to a small group of users. The full presentation can be viewed here I learned twitter can spread the word quicker than any other type of advertisement out there and companies can actually earn money by advertising. You can read more about this in an article I found called Twitter Promoted Products 101
