2.1 SOFTWARE:

Computer software instrument that has been programmed to allow a computer to process

information. The categories of software I have come across are:

1. Operating system

2. Utility software

3. Productive software

2.2 OPERATING SYETEM: These programs are installed in the computer system to manage

and coordinate the activities of the hardware components e.g window xp, vista, window 8,

window 7, window 10 etc.

2.3 MAJOR FUNCTIONS OF AN OPERATING SYSTEM

4. Resource management: the resource management of an operating system allocates

resources such as CPU time, main memory, secondary storage and input and output

device for use.

5. Data management: the data management function of an operation system govern the input

and output of the data and their location, storage, and retrieval

6. Job/ task management: task management is responsible for schedule, control and

monitoring of jobs submitted for execution to attain the most efficient processing.
13
 2.4 INSTALLATION OF OPERATING SYSTEM

Installation of operating system was one of the key things I did during my industrial attachment.

Install various operating systems such as window 7, vista, xp and Linux (ubuntu), below is the

step in installing window 7 operating system.

1. Note: before installing operating system, it is advisable to backup all important files

saved on the hard drive.

Step one: Make sure the computer is working properly; the peripherals and motherboard are

connected and installed properly. Start up your computer and use one of the function keys

depending on the computer product to change the bios configuration by simple making your CD

ROM the first Device on the boot other of the computer if you are using a CD reboot the

computer so it read from the CD ROM, not of hard disk.

Step two: Click the installation button and follow the instructions. You also have an to

acknowledge open source project licenses, custom installation and finally the partition step

where you choose size of hard drive memory where the operation system will be written to.

Step three: installation begin properly here setup copies archives over for extraction and

installation on the hard drive. During this process the computer shut down restart and continue.

Step four: Here window 7 start service restarting is also present at this process window product

key installation is required, network selection and date and time can be set.

14
Step five: window 7 installation is complete follow the instruction. This step is where you do the

following computer name, users control account name and password and all various

settings. Window is ready for use.

2.5 UTILITY SOFTWARE: These are bread categories of programs that allow a computer to

perform task that aren’t part of the OS, but are still practical and useful. Example tera-copy, Nero

etc.

2.6 PRODUCTIVE SOFTWARE: This is a program that perform standard office computer

task like word processing, presentation, spreadsheet and database software all graphs software

are all common example of productive programs.

2.7 Steps I used when installing utility/productivity system.

2. I boot computer.

3. I insert the CD or DVD (it might be mega or word office etc.) into the CD-drive.

4. I allow it to load, after few minutes; I open/click on my computer or window+E.

5. In that environment, I locate the Disk and opened it, and then I choose any program I

want to install from the CD.

6. I click on the program to be installed, it load, accepts the policy after going through it.

7. Then I click on next continually when prompt on screen.

8. I repeat the step 6 in order program I wish to install.

15
2.8 Tips I used for uninstalling software.

The following steps are used for software un-installation:

1. I make sure that the software I wish to remove is not vital for the function of the

computer, if not sure, I asked to co-workers or search the internet to learn more about the

software.

2. Once I am sure that I want to remove the software, I go to the start menu and select

control panel. (Note: in window xp click on the choice for add/remove programs. In

window vista, click on the program then select uninstall the program.

3. After clicking on the control panel, a list of software will appear, I choose the program

that I want to uninstall or remove (guild through the removal steps appears).

4. If not prompted to do so, I restore the computer after completing the removal processes

when the computer restart, I click the list of programs again to make sure the desired

program was fully removed.

In summary, I observed that to install software is easier than uninstalling.

 CHAPTER THREE (3)

WEB DEVELOPMENT SECTION

3.1 HTML:

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, and it is the most widely used language to write

Web Pages.

1. Hypertext refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked together. Thus,

the link available on a webpage is called Hypertext.

2. As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup Language which means you use HTML to simply

"mark-up" a text document with tags that tell a Web browser how to structure it to display.

Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents like headings,

paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information between researchers.

Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags available

in HTML language.

3.2 HTML Tags: As told earlier, HTML is a markup language and makes use of various tags to format

the content. These tags are enclosed within angle braces <Tag Name>. Except few tags, most of the tags

have their corresponding closing tags. For example, <html>has its closing tag</html>and <body>tag

has its closing tag </body>tag etc

17
LESSTHAN <P> GRATER THAN

ELEMENT

Tag Description

This tag encloses the complete HTML document and mainly

comprises of document header which is represented by

<html>
<head>...</head> and document body which is represented by

<body>...</body> tags.

<head> This tag represents the document's header which can keep other

HTML tags like <title>, <link>

<title> The <title> tag is used inside the <head> tag to mention the

document title.

<body> This tag represents the document's body which keeps other

HTML tags like <h1>, <div>, <p> etc.

<h1> This tag represents the document's body which keeps other

HTML tags like <h1>, <div>, <p> etc.

18
<p> This tag represents a paragraph.

<b>, <i>, <li>, <ul>, <ol>etc Bold, italic, list, unordered list, ordered list

With the help of HTML Tags a web page can be easy created.

3.3 HTML ELEMENTS

An HTML element is defined by a starting tag. If the element contains other content, it ends with a

closing tag, where the element name is preceded by a forward slash as shown below with few tags:

Start Tag Content End Tag

<p> This is Paragraph Tag </p>

<h1> This is header Tag <h1>

<div> This is division content </div>

These are known as void elements. HTML documents consists of a tree of these elements and
they specify how HTML documents should be built, and what kind of content should be placed
in what part of an HTML document.

19
3.4 CASCADING STYLE SHEETS

C.S.S means Cascading Style Sheet, it explains how HTML elements are to be designed and be

responsive on any Device, Web browsers, e.t.c.

C.S.S controls a layer of multiple web page all at once also external sheets are been stored in

CSS files.

3.5 USE OF C.S.S

We use C.S.S to define style for your documents, including the design, layout and variations in

display for different devices and screen sizes. You can place your C.S.S in the <head> of a

documents with an embedded style sheet, or attached a separate files he defines your styles with

an external style sheet. To link an external style sheet to your documents you simply add a link

to the style sheet in the <head> of the documents.

When a user displays a web page, the users browsers loads style information along with the

content of the page.

When a user prints a web page, you can provide different style information that makes printed

page easy to read.

In general, we use html to describe the content of the documents, not its style while we use

C.S.S to specify the documents style, not its content

3.6 BOOTSTRAP

20
Bootstrap is a C.S.S. plugin, it beautify Websites and can do all what CSS

can do with little or no stress. Bootstrap is widely used by almost all

Web Developers nowadays.

3.7 HOW TO USE BOOTSTRAP

There are 2 ways in which you can use Bootstrap which are:

1. Online Bootstrap: This is the act of using linking a Bootstrap Link called CDN

to the header of a Website just like how we do link our external C.S.S but

we must be online before it can work and run smoothly.

2. Offline Bootstrap: This is the act of downloading file of Bootstrap of both

JavaScript and the CSS file then link the both of them to our Project. The

advantage is that it will work fine just like the online Bootstrap and we

don’t need to be online before we can use it.
