 CST363.6 Module 6

Summarize what you have learned this week:

I have learned that programming languages are separated under two paradigms: between Imperative Languages and Declarative Languages, and the SQL is considered to be under the Declarative Language paradigm. meaning that there are certain gaps to consider when implementing into Object Oriented Programming, specifically the syntax gap and the paradigm gap. In order to incorporate both there are several solutions. In our case this week for labs we utilized an API known as JDBC in order to connect to our database locally. We also worked in our group project using github, so it was a nice challenge ensuring our databases were created and filled with the correct amount of data and that the connection methods were working properly. In all we gained a better understanding of the connections we can make between our object oriented programming language of choice and a database, and the different solutions along with their considered trade-offs of each type.
