The dot.com to dot.bomb presentation covers what happened back then and is seen through the eyes of dinosaurs. The Dot.com bomb refers to when the www was developed by Tim Berners Lee and released to the general public. It was written using HTML, a coding language that allows a user to create interactive and visual web pages. This revolutionized the internet and brought about a decade in which companies boomed and the market was healthy. The startup.com movie gave us a perfect example of one of those companies, govWorks. They went bankrupt after not being able to adapt and burning through all the money they received as investments. Man, companies had a tragic ending like this and that is why the dinosaurs were used for this presentation because they represent a species/race (companies) that were wiped out in one fell swoop because they couldn’t handle change. Just like in the past these dinosaurs and companies died off because they couldn’t adapt to the ever-changing market and the one

Brian forth was our final guest speaker. He is the CEO of side crafting inc. They specialize in web development. This is a 180 from his first profession. Brian started out as an elementary school teacher and was among the youngest teachers there. He later goes into software and saw a gap in the market for his idea which is a company that specializes in offering web development expertise to a plethora of clients from many different markets. With this diverse group of clients and his strict rule of no more than 15% of the company’s cash flow coming from one client, he and his team have been able to keep their company afloat and profitable for 20 years in a very competitive market.  During the pandemic, his split between the office and remote and his company barely took a hit because the diverse clientele like hospitals, banks, zoos, cities, etc. kept the company from going bankrupt or cutting costs like others had too. In fact, they are getting ready to expand in Tacoma to a bigger offic

Startup.com is a documentary following three people starting a company and the journey they went on from being an idea to a full-on company. They were in a time where the internet was becoming big, and they had an opportunity to set themselves up for life. The point of govWorks was to create a way to easily pay for things like transportation and fees like parking tickets. At one point they attracted enough investors that they had 60 million in assets and over 200 employees but that’s when they peaked, it all went downhill from there, they also covered the different issues that arose during their time together as shareholders. Tom and the others disagreed on a lot of different things which led to Tom’s shares being bought out and him leaving. This resulted in him being the only of the three to make money from this startup, he made 700k. They faced multiple challenges like when they were offered $17 million but lost the deal when they couldn’t even get in touch with their lawyers. They h

 <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hello, I like cars and computers.</span></p> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>this is a basic HTML page.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PRETTY COOL</strong></p> Honestly making this html page wasn’t too bad. The thing that caused me the most issue is on my mac it wouldn’t let me save the html file as html, it kept saving as an rtf document. I had to  find the file in the file explorer and saving as html after I finished making the document, weird. I used a couple of different things. I used the paragraph, bold, italics, and where the lines start. It honestly sounded harder than it actually was and only actually took my 5 mins to do. I remember taking a html course a couple years back and looking back on it, I find this to be way easier than any of my other languages like java or python. I know they aren’t in anyway the sam

The online scavenger hunt wasn’t too bad. I really struggled with the links to the shopping carts. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to copy a link to a shopping cart that already had what I put in it. What happened was when I tried to open the link I just copied with the items, they would just disappear and show an empty cart. So instead, I found the items and put them in the carts and then just screenshotted the page. Logging into the computer lab was another pain in the ass. I don’t know if I was doing the correct thing, but to remote login in to the computer lab had me downloading like three different software’s including a VPN, and then trying to login into each of these which caused me the most problems. I couldn’t even login into the last program that I needed until I completed it, so I just gave up on that one. I didn’t get to them but the question about the flights sounded a bit hard and the one with the cookie.txt sounds hard too. The HTML page also caused me probl

Three things I wouldn't buy online. One thing for sure is a car or motorcycle. I love cars and motorcycles more than even computers and when I do go to buy my first car (2020-2022 Toyota Supra) or my first motorcycle, I want to be able to go to a lot or if used go and see the car in person. This way I can see if I'm comfortable with the vehicle and can take it to a test drive and such. Things like Carvana where you buy the car online and they deliver it to you seem kind of sketchy and somewhat problematic. I also wouldn’t buy clothes online. My clothes are all weird sizes, some medium some small, and some extra-large, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying them before trying them on. Same with shoes. Depending on the shoes and their design my size 10.5 foot can fit comfortably in a size 9 and sometimes must move up to size 11 like for my cleats. I also don’t know if this counts but anything without free return shipping is a big no. That wouldn’t make sense, If I were to buy a la
