As most if not all my blog users know, I’ve been doing these blogs as assignments for a class. But unfortunately, my CIS 115 class is now coming to an end. This will be my last blog article related to this specific course (as far as I know). The topic of this one is “Where do I go from here?”. I’m going to look at it in different angles. First, what would be my dream job in computer science? I’ve thought a lot about my dream job growing up. I’ve more recently decided that my dream job would have to be along the lines of working in a small group developing technology in some way using a variety of my skillsets. I’ve always been interested in simulation and space. Those have been topics that I’ve really wanted to delve into. I’ve always been fascinated by replicating real life processes in a logical way in a ‘perfectly’ controlled environment. But along the lines of computer science itself, I’ve wanted to learn more about operating systems and low level coding. Hopefully I can learn more...

Today I am going to give my thoughts on what I think about the book “Nine Algorithms That Changed the Future: The Ingenious Ideas That Drive Today’s Computers.” This book was a fun read. Much better than the last one. When reading this book, I felt engaged. What does that mean exactly? It means that I was captivated by it’s words to a point. Unlike the last book this book went straight into the details, so it was more like reading a todo/manual than a textbook. But not to the point that it was uninteresting. There were some boring parts, but for the most part it went right to the point and The most interesting thing I learned in the book was about RSA encryption. It was just really cool to learn that there is a way to make sure there is a private connection between 2 people even with people listening in. It’s a really fun concept. There were some parts that I didn’t specifically like. Like where it got confusing and I didn’t understand what was going on, especially with the chapter on ...
