BALDEV RAM MIRDHA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PREFACE

Practical training is an important part in the four-years B.Tech Degree. This training is very much useful for an engineering student. Through this, a student comes to know about the actual working environment of an organization, the relation between officers and their subordinates, the organizational value of any industry and many other things like, how people work together as a team and how they achieve mass production in any industry, in a prescribed time with quality. This training plays a vital role in the build-up of a successful engineer. I pursued my summer training from ARDENT COLLABORATIONS PVT. LTD, Kolkata. This training provides me a good knowledge regarding organizational values.

INTRODUCTION
A forum, also known as a message board, bbs, or conferencing system, affords asynchronous, many-to-many, multimedia discussions for large groups of people over a period of time. That means that people can read and write their part of the discussion on their own schedule, that everyone in a group can communicate with everyone else, and that graphics, sounds, and videos can accompany text. This particular form of conversational medium meets the need for organizing discussions after they reach a certain level of complexity. If twenty people want to discuss five subjects over ten days, and each person makes one comment on each subject every day, that makes for one thousand messages in each participant's mailbox. On lists, when the topic drifts, the subject line usually does not change, so it makes it difficult to find particular discussions later.

Objectives of the Social Networking Sites :

The objective is to build a web-based system, which will have the following facilities: Providing users and others with a safer gd forum experience is a primary objective for operators of college portal sites. It will increase the relationship between student, faculty and others Facilities will be provided to help the user to plan and record execution of the site.

College Portal Sites overview :

A forum consists of 4 components: the forum itself, its categories, the topics and the messages. Each component, or level of hierarchy, is illustrated in the diagram below.

Each forum can have an unlimited number of categories and sub-categories. Categories are like placeholders in which topics of discussion and messages are contained. Henceforth, a category manages the forums topics into folders or groupings. This is a logical method of sorting topics. On the home page of the forum, a listing of all the categories to which the user has access, excluding those categories that the user wishes to block from viewing (refer to How do I update my profile?), will be displayed. In addition, the user will see the number of topics posted within each corresponding category, and the date/time/author of the last posting made in the corresponding category. To find out quickly if new messages have been posted since the last viewing, simply hover over the clipboard icon corresponding to the category in question.

Users of a Forum :
FuseTalk refers to pre-defined types of users. They are Forum Owner, Moderator, and User.

Forum Owners are individuals who have been assigned to manage a forum. Forum owners have the rights to change any forum level, create discussion categories for their forum, create moderators, and manage their own sets of users. Moderators are individuals who have been assigned to moderate a category within a forum. A moderator can be assigned to one or multiple categories and their permissions range from deleting messages/topics to banning individuals from accessing the forum. Users are individuals or members who have been given access to a forum or who have publicly registered to access the forum. These members do not have any special privileges unless otherwise given by the Forum Owner. Users can become Moderators or Forum Owners if designated by the Forum Owner. having an alert system, using which he/she will get the alerts in form of email or scrap.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Why ASP.NET?
Platform Independent. Architecture Independent. Vender Independent. Language Independent.

.NET Architecture :

.NET and other technologies :

.net vs PHP: .net development environment is costly while PHP is open source so PHP is a better choice than .net .net vs Java: Although Java is open source still it is quite tough language , while .net is easy to understand so .net is also a better option than Java.

DATABASE AN OVERVIEW
A Database is a single organized collection of structured data stored with a minimum of duplication of data items so as to provide a consistent and controlled pool of data. This data is common to all users of the system but is independent of programs which use the data. The independence of database and programs using it means that they can be changed without changing the other. The users of the database may find it convenient to imagine that they are using integrated file system.

RDBMS :
RDBMS is an acronym for relational database management system and can be defined as data program for general purpose data storage and retrieval that organized data into table consisting the same set of data items(columns). The data is stored in the Kernel to maintain data security. RDBMS is the database in which multiple tables can be associated or related to one another based on common data items or files within the tables. RDBMS provides a way of doing tasks in an understandable and reasonably uncomplicated manner. For Example, a name and address file might columns for name, street, city, state, pin and phone number. A record can be created for each person by filling each field. An another table consists of the name, employers name and dept. The two tables holds a relationship where each person has an entity. One of the major features of RDBMS is the ability to generate a new file with data from two related files.

Functions of RDBMS :
The most important functions of RDBMS are as mentioned below: Defines database Modifies structure of database Queries the database Adds and deletes the database Controls the database Secure Access from public users Communicate within network Export and import of data.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
In the whole project development the front ends are made using Microsoft Visual Studio.Net and SQL Server as backend database and the connection with the database, being SqlConnection.

Microsoft Visual Studio .Net :

Visual Studio.Net is the tool for rapidly building enterprisescale ASP Web applications and high performance desktop applications. Visual Studio includes componentbased development tools, such as Visual C#, Visual Basic, Visual C++, as well as a number of additional technologies to simplify team-based design, development and deployment of our solutions. Visual Studio supports .Net framework, which provides a common language runtime and unified programming classes. The biggest facility of ASP.Net is everything is objectoriented. All aspects of OOP are implemented in ASP.Net and we can also create multithreaded applications in ASP.Net. Also included in it is the MSDN Library, which contains all the documentation for these development tools. From Visual Basic 1.0, which radically simplified writing Windows Applications, to Visual Basic 4.0, which helped to establish COM2 as the standard Windows object architecture, the VB language has been a cornerstone of the Windows platform for nearly a decade. Now, as applications are evolving from a standalone executable sitting on a users hard drive to a distributed application delivered by the Web server across the Internet, Microsoft is expanding away from simply providing an operating system: Microsoft is providing XML web services as well. A key part of Microsofts thrust into this new XML web services space is the .Net Framework, designed from the ground up to allow developers to write and deploy complex Web applications easily. ASP.Net is the pillar of the .Net Framework, and yet another step forward in evolution of the language. It is a high level programming language for the .net Framework, and provides the easiest point of entry to the Microsoft .Net platform.

10

THE .NET FRAMEWORK

The .Net Framework is a new computing platform that simplifies application development in the highly distributed environment of the Internet. It is design to fulfill the following objectives : To provide a consistent object-oriented programming environment whether object code is stored and executed locally but Internet-distributed or executed remotely. To provide a code-execution environment that minimizes software deployment and versioning conflicts. To provide a code-execution environment that guarantees safe execution of code, including code created by an unknown o semi-trusted third party. To provide a code-execution environment that eliminates the performance problems of scripted or interpreted environments. To make the developer experiences consistent across widely varying types of applications, such as Windows-based applications and Web-based application. To build all communication on industry standards to ensure that code based on the .Net Framework can integrate with any other code.

11

Elements of the .Net Framework :

SQL Server 2005 : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 features includes : Internet Integration.

The SQL Server 2005 database engine includes integrated XML support. It also has the scalability, availability, and security features required to operate as the data storage component of the largest Web sites. The SQL Server 2005 programming model is integrated with the Windows DNA architecture for developing Web applications, and SQL Server 2005 supports features such as English query and the Microsoft Search Services to incorporate user-friendly queries and powerful search capabilities in Web applications.

Scalability and Availability.

12

The same database engine can be used across platforms ranging from laptop computers running Microsoft Windows 98 through large, multiprocessor servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 Data Center Edition. SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition supports features such as federated servers, indexed views, and large memory support that allow it to scale to the performance levels required by the largest Web sites.

Enterprise-Level Database Features. The SQL server 2005 relational database engine supports the features required to support demanding data processing environments. The database engine protects data integrity while minimizing the overhead of managing thousands of users concurrently modifying the database. SQL Server 2005 distributed queries allow you to reference data from multiple sources as if it were a part of a SQL Server 2005 database, while at the same time, the distributed transaction supports protects the integrity of any updates of the distributed data. Replication allows you to also maintain multiple copies of data, while ensuring that the separate copies remain synchronized. You can replicate a set of data to multiple, mobile, disconnected users, have them work autonomously, and then merge their modifications back to the publisher.

Ease of Installation, Deployment, and Use.

SQL Server 2005 includes a set of administrative and development tools that improve upon the process of installing, deploying, managing, and using SQL Server across several sites. SQL Server 2005 also supports a standard-based programming model integrated with the Windows DNA, making the use of SQL Server databases and data warehouses a seamless part of building powerful and scalable systems. These features allow you to rapidly deliver SQL Server applications that customers can implement with a minimum of installation and administrative overhead.

Data Warehousing.

SQL Server 2005 includes tools for extracting and analyzing summary data for online analytical processing. SQL Server also includes tools for visually designing databases and analyzing data using English-based questions.

HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE

As an outgrowth of SGML ( Standard Generalized Markup Language), HTML is generally viewed as nothing more than a document formatting, or tagging, language. The tags (inside <> delimiter characters) instruct a viewer program (the browser or, more generically, the client) how to display chunks of text or images. Relegating HTML to the category of a tagging language does disservice not only to the effort that goes into fashioning a first-rate Web page, but also to the way users interact with the pages. To my way of thinking, any collection of commands and other syntax that directs the way users interact with digital information is programming. With HTML, a Web page 14

author controls the user experience with the content just as the engineers who program Microsoft Excel craft the way users interact with spreadsheet content and functions. Version 4.0 and later of the published HTML standards endeavor to define the purpose of HTML as assigning context to content, leaving the appearance to a separate standard for stylesheets. In other words, its not HTMLs role to signify that some text is italic, but rather to signify why it is italic. For example, you would tag a chunk of text that conveys emphasis (via the <em> tag) regardless of how the stylesheet or browser sets the appearance of that emphasized text.

INITIAL INFORMATION COLLECTION

Problem Definition : What is a SOCIAL NETWORK SITE ?

There are so many different names for a forum. Some think of them as message boards or bulletin boards. Some call them threaded discussions, discussion boards or discussion groups while others call them conferences. FuseTalk simply calls them forums. 15

Deciding if just one forum or multiple forums is needed can be difficult, especially if there is an uncertainty of how they are defined and what makes a forum. The simplistic definition of a forum is a place where people have the ability to start communication (in the form of threads) and reply to other people's threads. A member of the community in the forum posts a message, which is visible to everyone in that community. Once read, there is the option to post a reply, which can also be visible to the community. Thus, a discussion can build up without all users having to be online at the same time. FuseTalk can allow for more than one forum to be created. These forums can be considered as containers for threads started by the community. Depending on the permissions of community members as defined by the forum administrator, they can post replies to existing threads and start new threads as they wish. In addition, users of a forum can post anonymously (if this is enabled by the Forum Administrator) or as their registered username.

System Analysis :
Systems development can generally be thought of as having two major components, in which one such component is Systems Analysis. Systems analysis is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing problems and using the information to recommend improvement to the system. Analysis is a detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their relationship within and outside of the system. One aspect of analysis is defining the boundaries of the system and determining whether or not a candidate system should consider other related systems. During analysis, data are collected on the available files, decision points, and transactions handled by the present system. Data flow diagrams, interviews, onsite observations and questionnaires are commonly used tools in analysis. We can say that analysis specifies what the system should do. System analysis is the management technique, which helps us in designing a new system, improving an existing system or solving a system problem

REQUIREMENTS SPECIFICATION

Requirements Specification :
Requirements Specification involves the basic requirements that the system to be developed should posses. These can be broadly classified into two types. 1. Performance Requirements. 2. Functional Requirements. 16

Understanding the requirements specification is critical for the projects success otherwise the system does not get developed according to the customers wishes.

Performance Requirements :
1.The system should be built in a way such that it is independent of the type of database used. SQL Server, Oracle etc. 2. Response should be fast. 3. High throughput. 4. Security should be high such that no intruder can tamper with data. 5. The access of the system should be traceable to identify who are the users of the system and when they last logged in to the system.

Functional Requirements :
Here, the user will do 7 jobs : Register to the site. After registration login to the site. Add friend and remove also. Add scrap and remove also. Can search for friend by name and id. Can update their profile. Can change password.

LOGICAL DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

After studying the system the flow of data and process behind the system are shown in the following logical data flow diagram of the system:

The system interacts to the customer by means of some front-end form. To enter the system a login form will appear where User ID and Password will have to be entered to log into the system and then this will check the Permission of that user. According to permission the System is loaded.

FEASIBILITY STUDY

Feasibility Study is one of the fundamental aspects in design of system. The key-points are as follows:1) Form a project team and appoint a project leader. 2) Prepare system flow chart. 3) Enumerate potential candidate systems. 4) Describe and identify characteristics of candidate systems. 18

5) Determine and evaluate performance and cost effectiveness of each candidate system. 6) Weight system performance and cost data. 7) Select the best candidate system. 8) Prepare and report final project directive to management.

Three key considerations are involved in the feasibility analysis :

i. ii. iii. Technical. Operational. Economical.

Technical Feasibility :
It specifies whether the proposed solution in the project is possible to be implemented using available hardware and software.

Operational Feasibility :
Operational feasibility considers the factors that how the software will satisfy the need of the users, how it could be changed for future requirements and the operational factors of the computer.

Economical Feasibility :
This defines the measurement cost effectiveness of the project. It further consists of two parts : a. Direct cost. b. Indirect cost.

Economical Feasibility of the Project :

a. Initial cost for development is not high since a machine with required configuration was available in the company. b. Necessary software for back-end and front-end use were also available there.

SYSTEM DESIGN

19

Design Goals :
Design of an interactive application that enables the user to filter the Social Community based application on different parameters. Design of an application that has features like drag and drop etc. Design of application that decreases data transfers between the client and the server.

Dynamic WebPages :
A Dynamic web is one that is created at run time, on the fly, executing some program on the server, then converting the out put into HTML format and sending it to the browser to display it on the client machine. It is quite different form the client machine which are to created and stored on the servers hard disk.

The need for dynamic WebPages :

What is the situation where we need the dynamic web page. Dynamic web pages are extremely important for online application .With out dynamic web pages web based application do not happen. Suppose we want to create a discussion portal and you want to access my community through internet. For this we need to design a website ,the website should allow the customer to see all the applications available under version categories, search the friend based on the name, location etc if we try to do this on static pages we will face some problem. Someone have to change the static pages every time a new item such as title added or one want to send the new topic, view the profile, sends the comments. It will be a very big risk to keep track record by different user. So to create a College Portal site management, it is necessary to create dynamic web pages.

Basic theory of dynamic WebPages :

In dynamic web pages the URL does not correspond to the address of a static web page, it in fact gives an address of the web page on the server which contains a program to be executed. The program could be in ASP, JSP, or in CGI program .These are some kind of program executed in the server and out put of which is converted into HTML format.

SYSTEM TESTING & EVALUATION

Testing of the system :
The Testing phase is a critical element of software Quality Assurance and represents the ultimate review of the specification, design and the code generation. This phase is a process of executing the entire application and performing a thorough check on all the individual modules, taking into consideration all the possible conditions that might arise in the working of the same. Testing for this application has been conducted exhaustively in the following manner:

Unit Testing :
In this phase all the independent units of the system are tested to ensure that information properly flows into and out of the program under test. Here, the local data structures are also examined to ensure that the modules operate properly. All possible error-handling paths are also tested to give proper messages to the users of the system when an error is encountered. Another important facility that has been tried out and tested successfully is to give warning messages to the Administrator of the system when they are about to confirm some changes to the records in the database.

Integration Testing and System Testing :

This phase of testing helps to uncover errors in the interfaces. The name Integration Testing suggests the testing of all the module interfaces before they are integrated to form the entire system. System testing refers to the process of testing the entire system as a whole with all the modules connected. The basic objective of this type of testing is to ensure that the system performs according to the Requirements Specification obtained during the early stages of Planning (during Analysis phase) and during Design phase. 31

Some of the most important test cases that were tried out successfully are :1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Login Process. Invalid attribute values. Data Is Must for creating risk data elements. In write Description and comment character must not grater than 255. Entering in status name this character is not allow. Without selecting any row it is not going it delete.

DRAWBACKS, LIMITITIONS AND FUTURE SCOPE OF THE SYSTEM

The software system described above suffers from certain limitations. Such limitations have crept into it owing to unavoidable circumstances of which time constraint is a major one. They are listed below: 1. The system could be more generalized. Here, we have done only the placement activity. But we can also add the schedule scrap to this project... 2. The combo box items should have been dynamically configurable, that is, they should have been configurable at runtime so that the fields using combo box items in the forms could have been assigned valid values for each project. Many other major changes would have been required which have not been incorporated due to shortage of time.

Future Scope :
The work described above and included in this special theme section contributes to an on-going dialogue about the importance of social network sites, both for practitioners and researchers. Vast, uncharted waters still remain to be explored. Methodologically, SNS researchers' ability to make causal claims is limited by a lack of experimental or longitudinal studies. Although the situation is rapidly changing, scholars still have a limited understanding of who is and who is not using these sites, why, and for what purposes, especially outside the U.S. Such questions will require large-scale quantitative and qualitative research. Richer, ethnographic research on populations more difficult to access (including non-users) would further aid scholars' ability to understand the long-term implications of these tools. We hope that the work described here and included in this collection will help build a foundation for future investigations of these and other important issues surrounding social network sites. 32

CONCLUSION

While developing the system a conscious effort has been made to create and develop a software package, making use of available tools, techniques and resources that would generate a proper Technical Institute Support System. While making the system, an eye has been kept on making it as user-friendly, as cost-effective and as flexible as possible. As such one may hope that the system will be acceptable to any user and will adequately meet his/her needs. As in case of any system development process where there are a number of shortcomings, there have been some shortcomings in the development of this system also. These have been mentioned in details under the topic Limitations, Drawbacks and Future Scope of the System.
