My Introduction

     My name is Chukwuemeka Akpom. I am a senior Bioinformatics major at University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a minor in Computer Science. I really into software development such as video game development and general software titles. I would like to learn a lot of things regarding software development and programming. With this experience, I feel like I can use my programming knowledge in a more practical way such as developing code for many huge or minor companies.

     I started my education being a major in Biochemistry, but this was a major that I did not have a big passion for. I later began to realize that many things that entertain me in my life, or that I enjoy to do, stems from software. Ever since I changed to Bioinformatics, I have learned more from programming than I have from chemistry. This kept my interest educationally.

     I am from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I was only there for 5 years after my birth, so I am not sure what the environment is like. I moved to Georgia a little after my time in Alabama, and finally, to Maryland. I have spent the most of my life, personally and educationally, in Maryland so therefore, this state is more familiar to me.

Milestone 2 (Setup IIS and FTP Server)

     During this IIS setup, I had the most trouble browsing the created website. I would originally browse it using the given url of testingsite.com, but this was not the correct url to use. It did not display the text that I had written. Instead, this url redirected me to a bunch of junk information and text. I had known a little bit afterward that I did something wrong in the setup. It was either that or I did not enter the correct url. Advanced settings of the IIS Site      After changing the url to localhost.testing.html, I was able to get my resulting message. This part of the milestone gave me the most trouble and took up the most of my time. After correcting this error, I proceeded to work on the ftp site. The advanced settings of the ftp site are displayed. After setting rules for the ftp site and changing the port to 21, I am finally going to attempt to wrap up the remaining requirements for this milestone. ...

Milestone 7 (Testing the Exclusion Tab)

Image
For this milestone, I can finally get into software testing. Specifically, I am working on the exclusion tab in the BackupChain application. This tab is available in order to exclude any unwanted files from backing up. Once I select a file to back up, I then select a location for that file to be backed up into. The selected file will have multiple contents inside. This means that many different things will be backed up unless I exclude any specific file that I do not want backed up. In a pictures file called "Test," I have two photos. One is a picture of the windows logo, and the other is a picture of the recycling bin icon. I am going to backup the entire "Test" file, but I do not want to back up the recycling bin icon, named "Bin." For this software test, I will be using a file backup. The name of the file that I want to back up is "Test." Name of the back up location will be called "BackupPic2" In the exc...
