Summer Project
Intense effort has been put in each and every summer project.
I request all the Third Year students to share their project here..
Also please give the documentation or any theory regarding your project.

Here is our (Nishit,Prayaas and Sacchin ) project SNAP CHAT..
It is a chat program based on Client Server Architecture on Linux openSuse 11.2
Check it out..
its written in C/C++
need gcc compiler!

Software Engineering

It may seem boring side of software development to some, (like me :P) but yes honestly its one of the most important aspect of developing software, in corporate environment.

And yes this post will be all about (boring to some) basic but important theoretical aspects of S/W Engin. which believe me are used very practical in S/W development environment.

______________________________________________________________________

A computer software is a general term primarily used for digitally stored data, computer programs, and other kind of information stored in a computer.

(More bookishhhly...): Software is intangible component of the computer system that imparts intelligence to the hardware, it consists of carefully organized instructions and code, the program written in a language that hardware can understand and act upon.

_____________________________________________________________________

So, there are now basically two types of software:

1. System Software : eg: operating system S/W
2. Application Software : eg : accounting system, Word processor

 _____________________________________________________________________

So yes the software engineering further consist of Software Crises...

which will also explain the processes of development of software engineering which brings us to process models...

Now let us for knowledge's sake discuss the various steps in any process model or in general sense about software..

1. FEASIBILITY 
2. REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS AND SPECIFICATION
3. DESIGN
4. CODING AND UNIT TESTING#
5. INTERPRETATION AND SYSTEM TESTING
6. MAINTAINENCE

#Yeah now u might be wondering that unit testing sounds so unfamiliar...UNIT here is a module, when a software eg: Library Management is to be designed each and every team is given a specific task like one might get Graphics, other might get Book Issuing module which others may get different modules of the software, these units are referred as UNIT and their individual testing is know as UNIT TESTING. 

So more on it when required.. just get a basic idea,(sshhhh its there in 5th Sem. Course)

JAVA

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform.

The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, and object-oriented, and is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. 

___________________________________________________

It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere". Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, and is widely used from application software to web applications.

We ll provide more info on Java, programming and how to code on java.

So just get hooked..

GIMP-GNU Image Manipulation Program

 Introduction to GIMP                                                              

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.

GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X.

ERROR:website

After trying for quite some time now ....
i face the follwing problems:

• how to convert a normal template to joomla template
• how to create an xml file
• how does an xml file install stuff on webpages
• how to ftp web pages 

Any ways the biggest irony is the absence of technical supervision !
I hope the site is ready pretty soon.!
