efficient,reliable, and easy to use software.

 Guidelines involve in developing a software

 Planning
 Software Design
 Implemented into code

Types of software

1. System software

2. Application software

Application software are responsible for designing,creating,testing and maintaining the

software that meet users needs. The programming language used to develop this applications
is C-sharp(C#)

1. Console application

2. Windows form application

3.1.1 Console Applications

A console application, in the context of c#, is a computer program designed to be used via a
text-only user interface.

The console application primarily is designed for the following reasons,

 They can easily be scripted or automated to run without user intervention.

 Automated testing, which can reuse automation implementation resources. Console
applications don’t have any graphical user interface, they will have character-based
interfaces.

Console applications don’t have any graphical user interface, they will have character-based
interfaces.

3.1.2 WINDOWS FORM APPLICATIONS

A window form in C# application is one that runs on the desktop of a computer. Visual studio
form along with c# can be used to create a windows form application. Controls can be added
to the windows forms c# via toolbox in visual studio. Controls such as labels, checkbox,
radio-button etc. can be added to the form via the toolbox. It provides Graphical User
Interface (GUI) the IDE and language use in developing a windows form applications is

4.1 CONCLUSION

In respective of the challenges encountered in this SIWES program, there were many things
that I have experienced and learned during the four (4) months of my industrial training at
I.C.T CENTER the whole period was very educating, interesting and instructing. Through
this training I was able to gain new insight and more comprehensive understanding about the
real industry working condition and practice. It has provided me the opportunities to develop
and improve my soft and functional skills. All of this valuable experience and knowledge that
I have gained were not only acquired through direct involvement in task given but also
through other aspect of the training such as work observation, interaction with colleagues,
superior, and other people related to the field. From what I have undergone, I am very sure
that industrial training program has achieved its entire primary objectives. This program has
also prepared student to face the real working life. As a result of the program, now I am more
confidence to build my future career.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION:

1. School should make SIWES compulsory for every student.

2. Student should defend their SIWES afer completion.

3. Supervisor should always visit student monthly in their various places of attachment.

4. Student must be paid at the end of their SIWES .

5 SIWES should be made a four unit course.
