Database Project

These particular project was probably the most difficult one I had to complete. What I had learned about this program previously is nothing to what I now know from this project. Before I started, I actually didn't know the specific tasks or relative functions for that matter, this program was used for. In my opinion, Access is far more superior that office, excel, and powerpoint due to the prodigious amount of functions this program enables anyone to do. Even after this project, I still don't even know how to work all the applicactions in the ribbons. Although, I learned how to take tables with supurfluous amounts of information and constrict it down to what certain areas are only needed to view, which could be extremely useful in so many ways.
Even though I feel this program is a useful tool, the reason I found it so difficult to learn is because the ways all the tools were laid out and the way you apply things seemed too complicated. I wish that the program was more user friendly, especially for those of us that are relatively new to its uses. I found Access similiar and completely different at the same time when comparing it to Excel. It has similiar layouts, like the way spreadsheets are viewed, but the way to access all of the tool in the ribbons and expanding upon a database becomes much more complicated than it needs to be. Hopefully, they will update Access in the future as a more user friendly resource.
