Green IT
The paper “Green IT: keeping it simple” begins with a questionnaire to a reader by Michelle Hazelton what a Green IT is about? The research of green IT for Ethical Property Company approached to the positive changes that can be made with less cost and effort, leads to an auditing of company’s IT equipment and energy consumption sectors. The objective was to find out the time periods when energy consumption was highest along with its consumption power. The research criteria revealed that 60 per cent of the building's energy is consumed when the building is mostly unoccupied even though a PC and monitor that have been switched off still draw on average 20 watts of power which resultants to the wastage of energy. The solution to be carried out is to switch off the equipments at the plug.
Now, getting into WEEE directive, energy efficiency and IEEE standards, it was of quite interesting part exploring new things. While using Energy Calculator for PC Equipments, I found there were three options (PC, Monitor, and Use) that could be selected as per our choice and after pressing Calculate automatically it generates the Total costs split-up and Energy split-up. Glancing to IEEE standards evaluation, EPEAT was being introduced an environmental rating that helps identify greener computers and other electronic equipment. EPEAT is a chance to showcase and validate greener designs and cleaner production with powerful tools for enhancing the sustainability performance of virtually any organization.

First Week Experience
After the completion of a first Semester and a long vacation, journey for my second semester had begun from 19th February. This semester holds four different modules with four different importances for computing. We had crossed the first week and now running on a second week.
In first week, for a module named “Personal Development for Computing” the lecture began on a slight introduction to a module and we were informed that it’s fully based on an assessment type of an individual and a group works covering 50-50 marks from overall total which verifies only an individual effort is not enough a group work is equally important as well. In tutorial, we were given a task to discuss the ability of graduated students in computing and we were also informed about should form a group to make a simple website for presentation. In lab, an individual speech was to be presented on any one chosen topic based on a graduated student’s ability in computing. I was second person to present on the importance of computational thinking and its relevance to everyday life but before jumping on my topic I was first asked to review my friend’s opinion on designing computer based systems. And I enjoyed listening to everyone who presented their views on a certain chosen topic and rest of some other friends doesn’t have a chance to present their opinions due to less time duration. After the completion of doing presentation we were given a task to write a blog on a 1st week achievement.
So, a first week was of quite interesting one, all the lecture, tutorial and lab was of similar to our previous semester and while doing a presentation I was not too nervous as I used be before. I am pretty sure that this module would help me developing more skills and knowledge on writing and doing presentation work for my academic development.

Programming Language
Programming Language is a language which is understandable by computer to perform its work as per the given instruction provided by human beings. For the development of application, scripts or any kinds of instruction for computer to execute, programmers are fully depended on programming languages like C++, Java, Visual Basic, HTML, SQL, etc.
As being a keen interest on using a computers from since the first time I had used in my life. After my completion of +2 levels from a management background for the further Bachelor Degree I have chosen a BSc. (Hons) Computing in Islington College. From my high-school level I have gained the concept of using a C++ programming language which I enjoyed on doing coding like I was playing a game that passion increase on me and has become a hobby for me playing with the coding. I have some knowledge about HTML and Visual Basic too but now I am mainly focusing on a Java programming language only because it’s the part of my course which I have learned during my first semester in Islington College. During the study of learning a Java programming language it was of easy one because we were taught some part of basics only. First, we started our Java from a Notepad and later we were taught to upgrade our java coding on a BlueJ. Now, I have been using Netbeans software to do my java programming and while working I have created one simple calculator. When I finished making my simple application of .jar file type I was so happy because for the first time I have created one application by myself.
The concept of doing programming to develop applications I love to do it because it has been a passion on me. And I have chosen computing course thinking I would have a good career in the coming future. So from Islington, I have lots of hope to learn many new things in the field of computing.

Academic Development after 8th Week
My Academic Development during the period after I have crossed the 8th Week is a proficient along with precipitately work experience. During the period of 9th week to until 13th week touching the line to finish our first semester for the Computing course. So, before the completion of our first semester we had to do many struggling.
When we moved to 9th week for a module named “Problem Solving for IT” we were given a 2nd Coursework whose deadline was to be submitted in 18th January. The coursework was related to create a spreadsheet and database design concept which was to be done on Ms-Excel, Ms-Access and Ms-Word. For me, doing a spreadsheet in Ms-Excel and preparing a report in Ms-Word it was of easy one but while creating a database in Ms-Access I had a problem with the queries concept and was not being able to do my database. Finally, at the last moment in a deadline day thanks to my friend who helped me to solve my queries problem and after its completion I mailed it to my tutor on time. While moving to the next week again there was a released of 2nd Coursework for a module named “Introduction to Programming” whose deadline was to be submitted in 20th January. The coursework was of preparing a Java code and upgrading it on software BlueJ; I completed this work on time by myself and submitted on time in a deadline day. In the 11th week, there was a writing test for a module “Logic” and a final presentation for “Study Skills for Computing”. In 13th week, we have to submit our Personal Statement, Personal Development Planning (PDP) and posting of at least 5 blogs too.
So, overall doing all the stuffs I have described above after 13th week our first semester would be on complete and will be enjoying our 1 month vacation until second semester begins.
