CIS 679 Reading Journal

The purpose of this page is to keep a journal of all that I have read for this course. By clicking on each link below you will find a summary of the reading followed by my own thoughts, comments, reflections, and possibly links to related material. If you have any comments of your own, or would like to make a correction or contribution please let me know.
