Why this section?◦Job hunting

WCU graduatedvs. UPenn, Temple, Drexel, …

◦Something help you to stand out!◦How can I introduce you?

Tell you what I see at Temple

◦Knowledge?◦Communication? ◦Abstraction & critical thinking◦Passion and motivation

I just need 3 credits How much I need to do for getting an ‘A’ I need to care my GPA

◦http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYtxA_IfQMk

Critical thinking, abstraction, motivation◦How can I obtain all these◦How can I prepare myself◦How can I prove myself

◦Research project Critical thinking, communication, etc. Real competition, deadline, pressure More realistic system, complex programming,

for instance, http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/RSU_van.pptx.

◦Student opportunities: http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/student_info.htm

◦Sponsorship http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/ISC2013.pptx. NSF, NSA, etc Industry interns

◦No pain, no gain◦Happy ending

Need to handle those things coming from pressure: frustration, upset, madness, etc.

Looking for solution, not excuse. Deadline!

Know how simply the system works, rather than memorizing all those in the manual.

Use those generally supported phases, statements, or rules, rather than focusing on trick plays (For instance, no join operator!)

Use class design to better organize the data relationship, reducing the data vulnerability while fully maintaining all the query requirements.

ACCESS -> SQL ◦How this GUI interface works?

Advanced SQL (nested SQL)◦Who can have the control of table?

Normalization ◦Easy to do ◦Ambiguous in use for real application

Class design (UML) – alternative design◦Use case◦Class diagram◦Multiple layer

Indirect Database◦Server – MySQL◦Client – JDBC

API integration

DatabasesRelational DB

◦The dependency relation among dataNon-relational DB

◦Without such a relationNonSQL DB

◦More complicate relation structure e.g., Kobo, Playtika (mobile service) Fast third-party data aggregation Globally distributed data repository E-commerce and internet burstness Game (data intensive applications) Ad targeting (social networks)
