Plan of talk • • • Introduction Web based application Freeware and Open Source Software E-books Application Conclusion
Introduction
Definitions • Freeware – A complied version • Open Source – Source code in public domain • Mixed – Vendor specific / Freeware / Open Source ?
• The utilization of doing activities via the web is increasing everyday • What does it takes to use it • What it takes to make applications that run via the internet
Web based application
Major Components
Web Based Application • Applications designed to run using a web browser • Easy to run as it doesn’t require any client installation • Can be run from any where in the world
Application examples • Buy and sell online • Such as the E-Commerce web sites e. g. www. amazon. com www. fijishop. com. fj etc • Facilitating universities enrollment for students • On-line airline ticketing • On-line auctions • On-line event ticketing …rugby, soccer
Advantages • Easy to use by any user • Reduces workload for organization • Users can access it from any where in the world as long as they have a internet connection • Business times convenient to the application user
On-line Exam • CISCO • Microsoft • Oracle • Multiple choice • Select, drag and place
Advantages Online Exam • Online exams can be exciting to students • It helps the turn around time for students and lecturers by making their work faster. • Students will be able to know how well they did on the exam instantly. • Saves time of the universities and schools in marking and distributing results to individual students. • Many Universities are using this now
Tools required • Web Browser on clients • Server for database and a web server • Scripting interface between Web browser and Database server
Freeware and Open Source Software
• Freeware – A complied version • Open Source – Source code in public domain • Mixed – Vendor specific / Freeware / Open Source ?
Advantages of Open Source Ø Any one can use it and modify it but the original creators name is carried every where Ø No need to buy the applications where as vendor specific applications come at a price Ø Mostly platform independent i. e. can run on any Operating System Ø Very little modifications need to be done on the OS of the user who has downloaded to use the application
E-books
Examples • Web development – http: //rapidshare. de/files/1018643/Wrox__Beginning_PHP 5__Apache_and_My. SQL_Web_Development. p df. html • PHP – http: //www. planetmaddness. com/books/phpbook. pdf • My. SQL – http: //www. hot. ee/c 361 xmf/Sams. My. SQL. 3 rd. Edition. Mar. 2005. I SBN 0672326736. chm – http: //www. hot. ee/b 45 wz/Sams. My. SQL. 2 nd. Edition. e. Book. Li. B. chm
Application
• • Planning Establish requirement Specify possible solutions Choice of tools Implementation Integrate at client Validate to clients requirement
Example: SPEC Ø The SPEC Online Examination was done by using PHP, My. SQL and IIS Ø Implementation was done in phases so that once the site was set up it was fully secured and stable Ø Can be used by any student of SPEC and is available only in the Intranet Site i. e. outside the SPEC network the site isn’t accessible
Lets look at The Project SPEC ONLINE EXMAINATION
Conclusion - Cost - Ease of development - Choice of developing Tools - Support available - Legacy application - http: //www. mysql. com/products/migration-suite/
