Event Driven Parenting?

Aim: To evaluate the suitability of event driven programming (EDP).

Objective:
State the features of EDP.
Explain how OS can be considered event driven.
Understand that not all event driven programs have a GUI implemented.
Name some systems that are event driven but do not have a GUI.
Explain at least one example of a system that is event driven but does not have a GUI.
Describe in detail examples of a system that is event driven but does not have a GUI.


Hello!

On Wednesday, I visited NUA's show - I walked around the Games Art & Design area the most for around two hours with a good PAL friend (senior in NUA). It was really interesting and I had learnt a lot about the course I will be starting in September.

As for today, we had a quiz starter on how event driven programming can be taken in a parent way - parodied to 'event driven parenting' as a joke for raising a baby and that the parent tends to the baby's needs when it inputs a call. I found this to be quite interesting as it is applied to a real life concept but it would be better if it was a Kahoot quiz because there were definitely cheaters. Ah, rather not point out names. You can watch it here.

Next, Zoë recapped what we had previously covered on Monday which was about event driven programming's main features, advantages and disadvantages etc - she also covered a part we had not put in, so I had amended this quickly. Moreover, Zoë also helped me on a piece of work where I had also forgot to insert an important table, therefore that was amended as well and was resubmitted quickly.

This meant that I could continue with the merit work I promised to complete (but ended up being too busy). At the same time, the distinction part was covered and this felt like it was definitely doable and achievable. I used my time effectively to complete the merit work and thus begun on the distinction work of U24_A1 (T3). 

By reflecting on today, a strength was being able to complete a lot of the work set and stay ahead of time. A weakness was leaving the merit till today, although it posed no threat. I also spoke to Adam about learner forums, the NUA show as well as me being invited with other peers to his lesson in a fortnight. As for my goals, I will complete the distinction work tomorrow and any other outstanding work like Maths. This means I do not need to come in Monday which results in 5 days off... nice, cool, I like.

That's all, bye!

P.S: There's a lot of people distracting. People constantly on their phones, playing games,watching live-streams and chit-chatting. A bit annoying to be fair.

EDIT: No maths till next week!
