Week 5 Internship

March 12-16, 2012 (Mon-Thur)

In this week, author will learn about multitasking, author will handle multiple projects at the same time. Author is required to make instruction on how to install Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express and how to configure the application (Hotel Management system) which the author did last week. Step by step is shown in figures with some explanations such as:
  • How to install Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express and Dev-C++
  • How to open “HotelManagement_CSharp”
  • How to see the code/syntax in C# and C++
  • How to run / debug the application and
  • How to see customer’s data that save in the directory
The next day, author has a look at The Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CEMACS) website and gives suggestion for improvement the website from author’s view and visitor's point of view. The website available at http://cemacs.usm.my/Index.htm, this is called multi-tasking. The methods that author choose to get visitor's point of view is author have post a link of the website to facebook and ask for suggestion to the website for improvement. Besides that, author tries looking at others website in the same area, what’s the criterion or requirement for a standard faculty website and collects their similarity. Author also makes comparisons with National Advanced IPv6 Centre (Nav6's) website, Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP’s) website and other website for suggestions.

Some of suggestions from author views and visitor views are
  • The organization of the website is simple but it can improve it.
  • The font type, color and size for main topic and contents are not suitable.
  • For the latest event, may add mouse over effect when user point at it, the event will pause from scrolling to let user gets info.
  • Need to organize the links based on category and add simple JQuery photo gallery to replace the image at the bottom of the page.
  • Needs to add background to make it more attractive and enlarge the pages
  • Suggestion to add calendar and visitor counter ( 'widget'@gadget )
  • The banner is not contrast with the texts, people also do not know what is the pictures in the banner
  • Suggest to add “Google Map”, “Driving Directions” and “Public Transport are available in “Contact Us”, to ease finds them

EMY'S DAILY PROJECT LOG - week 3

Feb 27, 2012 (Mon)
*Learn C#/C Sharp - how to make a choosen either a/b
*understanding in using namespace, console, writeline

using System;
namespace HotelManagement_CSharp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int first = 500;

Console.WriteLine("first integer have value = "+first);
Console.WriteLine("hi second line");
Console.Write("some text etc..");
Console.Write("it’s not new line so written in same line");
Console.WriteLine(" Hello Everyone”);
Console.ReadLine();

} } }

The namespace is a vital part of the Code, its telling us what it's related to in a sense. The class Console is inside namespace. The Console class contains a WriteLine method that can be used to display a string to the console. Besides that, the author also learn how to make a chosen either a / b in C# programming.
- Console.ReadLine(); <== view (as do on getch)

Industrial Training Experiences - week 2

Week 2 ( 20 FEB 2012 - 24 FEB 2012)

Second week, starting with new task, the communication only through e-mail and tasks assigned for second week are:

The author should continue with the "learning" in both areas:

1) C# programming -- Get one of old C++ assignment and translate to c# (let Madam Rosnah know what program/problem/assignment the author are going to work on)
2) Keep on reading about production planning and the processes in a manufacturing environment - what are more problems esp. in relation to a "system".
3) Further explore about MRP/MRP II and ERP -- find out ERP vendors and what kind of systems they offer.
4) Madam Rosnah will find the user access for the server and sort out about the server -- and will later let the author use it to have a look at the existing system.

The next day and days further in week 2, the author still used Google scholar and Science Direct website to find the articles. The author downloads the articles in PDF format. From the articles, the author does the summary as last week. In second days in second week, the author also searches her old assignment in C++ and installs DEV-C++ to review C++ programming. The author has long leaving C++ programming because when learn C++ programming, author were in second semester. The assignment in C++ and needs translate to C# that author will going to work on is Hotel Management; the system is her first mini project in C++ programming.

The next day author make further explore on MRP/MRP II and ERP. The author also finds out ERP vendors and what kind of systems they offer. Also keep on reading about production planning and the processes in a manufacturing environment (what are more problems esp. in relation to a "system").

Second week exposed the author more on reading, learning basic C# programming and try to understand the keyword of C#. The task in C# programming (old C++ assignment and translate to c#) is given still in progress and will continue on next week.

Industrial Training Experiences - week 1

Week 1 (13 FEB 2012- 17 FEB 2012)

The first day of the first week was started at Pusat IPv6 Termaju Negara National Advanced IPv6 Centre (NAv6) in USM, Pulau Pinang. After had welcoming briefing from Ms Mahaletcheme, Administrative Assistant (Internship, Training, Consultancy & Event Coordinator) of NAv6 department, the author then assigned to Madam Rosnah as the Internship’s Supervisor. For the first day, Madam Rosnah has given briefing regarding the task that will given on internship’s time. The task are given is Production Planning System. During the briefing, the author was explained about the Production Planning, how the system is reflected. The System was roused but not fully completed. The author assigned to complete the system while undergoing practical training in this time.

Madam Rosnah also explained about the task for this week which needs to be prepared and make summary for the task and then needs to email the summary to her. The tasks are given for this week is:

Understanding about C#/C sharp
Production Planning - Issues and challenges in manufacturing environment
Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
Manufacturing Requirement Planning (MRP II)

In second day and days further in week 1, the author does the task given. The author finds the articles at the Google scholar and at the ScienceDirect website. The author downloads the articles in PDF format. From the articles, the author does the summary.

The next day, the author download a few mini project in C# programming language and use the project for understanding in using language C#. Mostly the project downloaded at codeproject website and sourceforge.net.

This week the author was concluded with learnt C# language, All in all, everything that was learnt during first week is totally all new to the author because during class section at the University the author just learnt C++ programming language but the basic syntax of C# looks a lot like C++, which is intentional. C# supports certain features or works in a certain way because it's C++ heritage. As conclusion, ready to accept new knowledge is the most important thing that the author has learnt on this first week.
