Hi All,

I have a deadline I can reach if I get two more hours (it's a video in case you are curious).  And I won't if I am on the road, although I enjoy your presence, it a 2 hours I have to work on this video, guess it is definitely pizzas on Wednesday.  As to the pizzas, I need help with the Logistics, for instance can we eat in the room, I assume we can there are no computers in the room.  Also, you guys bring your own soft drinks.

The mid-term will be mix of questions, that you will have to answer from memory since that part of the test will be pretty easy, just memorize some stuff, really, serious memorized it forever.  If see you in 30 years, that would be quite a surprise right?  I will 92 at that time thank-you for asking, I will expect that you will still be able to give the answers.   You will take it online.  If you don't hard memorize everything, well that is your problem.  This exam will be given randomly, you can repeat it till you get all of the answers correct.

Part 2 of the exam is your project, you will need to add data, create queries and output the queries to a file, that is, not the queries but actually your data that you generated during your testing component.

Part 3 you will use Java to interact with your data and to create presentations using graphs and so forth through the JDBC

Part 4 you will have to determine how to connect R to your database and generate an analysis of your data.  (See if you enter your data you understand it.)

Part 5 Provide your MySQL scripts out of an open source location like Github

Part 6 Use a Kanban management system, Visual Studio Online is free for up to 5 students

Part 7 If you pass a SQL or MySQL Certification between 2/15/2016 and end of class you automatically get a B in the class, and likely also receive bonus points and get an A but this at my discretion.

Please make sure to attend or watch the Video recording.  There will be a number of clear statements about the mid-term.
