Who am I
My name is Yoon Ho Jung. I am a Junior at Penn State, currently majoring in Information Science. This is something I hope to continue after school, and maybe even make a career out of it. This post marks one of my first steps into the professional world. In the future, I plan to use this site to carve in my journey in the professional world. I hope you stick around as well.
My path of IT
I wouldn't call myself an IT professional at all as of how I am right now, but as an enthusiast of it. I've started getting into the My interests in technology were initially from video games and streaming then progressed through my in-class experiences throughout high school. During the summer break, I took a java programming class and learned that programming was something that I could do. I also studied R language before so I feel like I'm comfortable with programming-based path.
While I wouldn’t say that I have a specific path of what I want to do in terms of IT in the future, I know for sure that I want my career to be related to tech in whichever way like web development.
App development
If I were to pick an immediate field of interest, then it would be app development. Applications that can manage trivial tasks for people or keep them organized have great potential to provide a big return for a relatively small investment, and it's very satisfying to make things that are immediately useful like that, which is something that I would definitely like to try.
Alongside this blog, I will also be uploading videos onto my YouTube channel as I am learning of the skills in IT and sharing my progression from a student to a professional in this field. For my first video, I'll be talking about the differences between SQL and NoSQL.
IST 210 Lab 1
As this blog is for a class, here is a linked Youtube video on the rest of the assignment. Apology in advance with the obnoxious voice quality in the video. I'm planning on getting a new speaker ASAP.
Short Summary of SQL vs NoSQL:
What is it?
SQL: Structured Query Language lets you access and manipulate databases. Effective for inserting, searching, updating, and deleting database records.
NoSQL: have dynamic schemas for unstructured data, and data is stored in many ways; meaning that you can create documents without having to first define their structure and thus each document can have its own unique structureWhat is the difference?
SQL: deals with Relational Databases, databases are table based
NoSQL: data can be stored in many ways: column-oriented, document-oriented, graph-based, etc.
Final notes
Thanks for reading my blog. For a first time, I hope it didn't seem too bad for u guys. I am still not completely comfortable with conveying my ideas through video, but as time passes and my experience grows, I aspire to improve these social skills. I welcome any feedback that may help me improve my skills and understandings for this course.
