Hey everyone it’s Evan again!

The semester thus far is going great! The class is a lot of fun! Going into the class i thought i knew a lot about computers, but the was a lot of stuff that i didn’t know!

Dr. Brown is doing a great job of explaining everything about a computer from software to hardware and even the basics of programming a computer!

This week we learned about assembly languages, and Dr. Brown has given us an Assembly Language Generator to work with which was a lot of fun!

The Generator has helped a tremendous amount in explaining the fundamentals of assembly languages and how they are written.

I have a feeling that at the end of the semester I will have no more questions ever again about how something in or on a computer is supposed to work or how it is set up all thanks to Dr. Brown!

Well I will see you all again next week!

Evan.

My name is Evan Davis and this is my 2nd semester at Pellissippi. I am majoring in computer science with a concentration in programming. I love to play soccer. I was on the Hardin Valley Academy soccer team, but unfortunately i quit the year before the team won the state championship. I have a pretty long relationship with computers beginning from when i was a kid. I have always been interested in computers and always wanted to know how to program. When I was younger i attempted to learn how to program on my own but it did not turn out too well. I am now taking programming classes as to major in it and hopefully get a good career as a programmer in the future. In high school i took a web essentials class where we learned to create and edit web pages.

Well that is a look at my life with computers!

See you all next week!
