UNISA – Summary of 2010 Posts

This is my last year for part-time studies at UNISA and I hope … somehow I doubt it though … that once I complete the part-time degree in November, that I put aside my private time for more relaxing adventures such as Farmville or just reading a thriller or science fiction book. This year I have to complete one semester course and two year courses, which include “operating system concepts”, “advanced programming” and “formal logic”. I have created a new category “UNISA” which I will use to share nuggets I pickup this year and collaborate with other fellow students ploughing through these subjects.

This post aggregates all UNISA posts this year and will be updated as new posts are available:

  Have you ever thought of contributing to www.wikistudent.ws, they could use your help. Especially, for cos311-4.

  Hi, do you have any basic notes on how to start drawing UML diagrams?

  I would either look at the UNISA books that are part of the syllabus, http://www.uml.org/ if you are looking for the OMG view, at www.eclipse.org/.../article.html if you are an Eclipse user and vsarchitectureguide.codeplex.com if you are using Visual Studio 2010 (my recommended favourite).

  I do not have a summary that is ready for sharing yet, but will create a relevant post while preparing for the 3114 exam in due course.
