What I learned in boating school today is how the class is going to operate and when our first project is due.
This is significant because it is the start of the process of learning how to do stuff in this course.
I have no idea how to write in c or c++.
Again my computer died and will be set back.

What I learned today in class is how to write a text file in the linux command and compile the program so that it does the function it is supposed to do.
This is significant because I have never made a program in any other programming language other than java.
I am slowly understanding c++ but I still don't understand it much.
A problem I am facing is finding a suitable computer to use at home.

I learned that the lab and the lecture of this class will be very different. Mainly because of the two different teachers and each uses a different operating system.
This is significant because I have never had a class with two teachers before, or in this case two operating systems so it will take some time to get used to.
I am slowly learning how both ways of recording my work can work together and have just one output.
I actually don't have any problems right now, I just jinxed myself so that should change soon.

I learned what my team in Joe's side of the class is today. We took a picture and now we are officially a team. Secretly our name will be “Prestige World Wide”.
This is significant because this will be my team for the rest of the semester.
I am getting there with understanding how everything in this class works, but I am still a noob.
Still living problem free but still waiting for something unexpected to happen.

Today I learned how to have a program print a desired output and how to get a program to accept user input.
This is significant because it will help with future projects.
I somewhat understand what I am typing into my programs I have made.
Had some trouble getting the program he had us type up working.
January 27, 2016
Today I learned how to fully get an input that will give out an output when the user types an input.
This is especially significant because I could barely do this is java but now I can do it in c++.
I am getting there with this whole programming thing. Next goal, math.
Had some trouble with getting the input/output to work, but I got it.
January 28, 2016
Went more in depth with input/output today.
This is helping me with my project for this class.
I am understanding how things work.
Had some trouble getting the program to show a number multiplied by itself.
UNIX/Linux Fundamentals Journal

Today I used a linux based operating system for the first time. I learned how to sign in and browse the web like on other operating systems.
This is significant because with this I learned how to log in outside of class to work on work I need to get done.
I do not know at all how to use linux so it may give me some trouble in the future.
I just lost my gaming laptop to a failing hard drive so this will set me back until I get the money to buy a new one.
January 21, 2016
Today I learned how to submit my projects in the linux command line.
This is significant because this will lead into me being able to submit my work when I get it finished.
I am slowly understanding everything but still am unsure about how everything works.
I am still finding a reliable computer to work on at home so that is still giving me trouble.
January 26, 2016
Today I learned how to check what files are in each file with ls -l. I also learned how to delete files in my files on linux.
This is significant because I will create files that eventually need to be deleted and now I know how to do it.
I am getting there with learning how to use linux and slowly learning how to copy files to work on.
I found a reliable computer, eventually will by a new one.
January 28, 2016
Today I learned how to use touch to create a file. I also learned how to make a file unusable by changing its accessibility. Last I learned how to direct output and input.
This is significant because this will help me put data from different files into one file.
I am slowly understanding how to manipulate files and their content.
Had a problem copying the file for the project but found out how to do it.
