======Part 1======

=====Entries=====
====Entry 1: September 6th, 2012====


  * We started building a truth table program.
  * This is important because I don't want to have to write this table out every time i need it
  * The Problems I'm having is trying to think of the code needed to write these programs
  * The challenge I currently have is trying to fit time for this course in with all my other course

====Entry 2: September 13, 2012====
  * Started to learn VI text editor
  * Vi is a lot better text editor than the highly inferior nano
  * I seem to want to use the arrow keys is Vi instead of the h,j,k,l keys
  * There are a lot of commands to learn in Vi that will take a lot of practice

====Entry 3: September 28 2012====

    *trying to do the puzzle-box project
    *to finish it before it is late
    *trying to rearrange files so it doesn't upset my Hg repository
    *trying to keep all of my courses separate from each other
====Entry 4: August Day, 2012====

This is a sample format for a dated entry. Please substitute the actual date for "Month Day, Year", and duplicate the level 4 heading to make additional entries.

As an aid, feel free to use the following questions to help you generate content for your entries:

  * What action or concept of significance, as related to the course, did you experience on this date?
  * Why was this significant?
  * What concepts are you dealing with that may not make perfect sense?
  * What challenges are you facing with respect to the course?

Remember that 4 is just the minimum number of entries. Feel free to have more.

=====Experiment 1=====

====Question====
How important are DLL files?

====Resources====
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamically_linked_library:
     
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_library#Shared_libraries

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment.

====Hypothesis====
Without any .dll files, certain programs will stop functioning properly.

After downloading files, many have additional extensions in the .dll format. Without these they might not be able to function fully.

====Experiment====
Im going to find a simple file with .dll extensions and see what happens after I delete a few of these files one by one.

====Data====
    *Program still runs without .dll files
    *severely limited functionality
    *states that certain function are missing or invalid

====Analysis====
Based on the data collected:

  * My hypothesis was partially correct, the program still functions partially without them rather than just seizing up.
  * Not getting enough data to check if it was just this program that can run without .dll files or if others can do it too.
====Conclusions====
The conclusion that I'm having is that although you can run certain files without there extensions, it isn't very wise. Therefor .dll files are quite important in dealing with files that need them.
