password correctly. The login provision in this page helps the already registered user to directly

access the site and there is a link for registration to a user who is new to this site.

MEMBER REGISTRATION module helps the new user to register into the site. The

information entered by the users is added into the table registration.

In the LOGIN LINKS a student or faculty can login using the appropriate Username and

password, through which he get the information about latest ideas and searches. He can also post

his demand or a query.

There should be a mechanism for the faculty members to create a test for the course specifying

the test title and a set of multiple-choice questions and duration of time of the test.

PROJECT GOAL

Nice, easy to access to subsets of articles

Replace mainframe based system

Provide better editing and display options.

Provide good search capabilities and cross-referencing options

Store multiple document formats

INTRODUCTION TO TECHNOLOGY:

JAVA

Java is an object-oriented programming language with a built-in application programming

interface (API) that can handle graphics and user interfaces and that can be used to create

applications or applets. Because of its rich set of API's, similar to Macintosh and Windows, and

its platform independence, Java can also be thought of as a platform in itself. Java also has

standard libraries for doing mathematics.".

TOOLS:

SQLCMD (command line application)

Visual Studio (native support for data programming)

SQL Server Management Studio (GUI tool).

PROGRAMMABILITY:

T-SQL (Transact-SQL)

SQL Native Client

SQL COMMANDS:

SQL commands are grouped into four major categories depending on their functionality.

DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE (DDL)

DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML)

TRANSACTION CONTROL LANGUAGE (TCL)

DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE (DCL).

 CHAPTER-2

LITERATURE REVIEW:

A website is a collection of Web pages, images, videos and other digital assets that is hosted

on one or several Web server, usually accessible via the Internet, cell phone or a LAN.

The pages of websites can usually be accessed from a common root URL called the

homepage, and usually reside on the same physical server. The URLs of the pages organize

them into a hierarchy, although the hyperlinks between them control how the reader

perceives the overall structure and how the traffic flows between the different parts of the

sites.

A website requires attractive design and proper arrangement of links and images, which

enables a browser to easily interpret and access the properties of the site. Hence it provides

the browser with adequate information and functionality about the organization, community,

network etc.

The website named "TECHTUTS4U" has been developed for the students of computer

science and information technology field to gain knowledge about their core subjects and to

get information about their demands to get placed in respective jobs. This project aims at

providing an Online Help Desk (OHD) to the students.

The working of the project is as follows:

The first page provides several links. The Home page contains several information about the

site like About Us, helpline no’s, search engine, student and faculty registration, login page,

various videos, links to different fields like placement papers, interview skills, syllabus,

online tests etc.

User Login module helps the user to login to the site. For that he must type the username
and password correctly. The login provision in this page helps the already registered user to

directly access the site and there is a link for registration to a user who is new to this site.

Member Registration module helps the new user to register into the site. The information

entered by the users is added into the table registration.

In the Login link a student or faculty can login using the appropriate Username and

password, through which he get the information about latest ideas and searches. He can also

post his demand or a query.

There should be a mechanism for the faculty members to create a test for the course

specifying the test title and a set of multiple-choice questions and duration of time of the test.

PURPOSE

Techtutskit is a website which casts the opportunities for ‘techie’ students. It also allows their

knowledge tree to grow larger by providing free materials regarding their syllabus. As the

name suggests, it not only helps [Link] students to survive in technical field, it motivates all

the graduates who have take up computer field as their core subject.

It is an Online Learning and Placement platform. Provides Content through Videos and

Assessments for GATE, CAT, GMAT, IELTS, TOEFL, Communication Skills, English

Grammar, Team Building, Aptitude, Mock Interviews, Interview Tips, Group Discussions,

Time Management.

OBJECTIVES:

Highly user-friendly

Enterprise independent

Cross-platform
Easy-to-use

Tested system to track unnoticed error

Data entry restricted to valid domains to avoid errors

FEATURES

AN EDUCATIONAL PLATFORM WHERE EVERY STUDENT CAN BENEFIT!!

Techtuts4u is an effective platform for students of all courses to network and share

information. We personally believe that it’s the right educational portal where one can

develop one’s knowledge in almost every educational division and also can get placed in a

prestigious firm. One can have knowledge on latest developments in technology and various

technical events across the country through techtuts.

Apart from B.E and [Link] students, Btechguru helps students of all bachelor and master

degree courses such as [Link], BCA, BBA, [Link], MCA, MBA, and [Link], on preparing

competitive exams like GATE, CAT by providing study materials and also in exams on Civil

Service of India. Training on Communication skills, Software & IT is also provided in this

portal which is beneficiary to all students in common.

Guidance about jobs and internships, higher studies, personality development,

entrepreneurship are provided along with materials for Resume building, Group discussions,

paper presentation and Tips on attending Job interviews and Visa interviews too.

In [Link], every student is allowed to have a personal profile and resume so that

recruiters can get to know them. They can also browse and apply for jobs that have

vacancies. And recruiters in turn can register their company and post the job vacancies, and

they can recruit the students. Yet again a useful feature of techtuts is easy and effective
learning through watching videos and participating in discussions. To be rightly said,

Techtuts4u is a boon to all students.

 CHAPTER-3

PROBLEM FORMULATION AND SOLUTION

PROBLEMS IN PREVIOUS SYSTEM:

In our previous manual system, it is very difficult for students to find books, tutorial,

videos, help, views etc. regarding their particular subject in particular semester. So, they

have to refer different sites and have to buy lots of books because they are not able to

judge right books for them. Due to this most of time they become confused. Most

important problem is that there is not any particular site for [Link] students and students

related to computer field, especially for them where they get all the material related to

their studies. Now in this era of techsavy, every student is using internet and most of

students prefer e-learning because it is cheap, get at one click. It is just like free lunch

service which is helpful to students. During their course they have some doubt related to

programming languages. Online test is also available according to their level.

PROBLEMS IN PREVIOUS TECHNOLOGIES:

IN CGI (COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE):

In earlier times we use CGI for the execution of java programs because in CGI we can

write in all languages and relatively easy for a web designer to reference.,but the main

disadvantages are:

 Each shell is heavyweight

 Not scalable

 CGI processing code (business logic) is mingled with HTML (presentation logic)
  Language is not always secure or object-oriented and platform independent.

IN SERVLETS:

After CGI we use SERVLETS to remove the limitations of CGI for the execution of

program. It is better then CGI as per Performance (threads are faster than processes),

Scalable, robust and object-oriented. But it also has some drawbacks:

 Separation of concerns: business and presentation logic

 Concurrency issues

JSP (JAVASERVER PAGES)

JSP technology facilitates the segregation of the work profiles of a Web designer and a

Web developer. A Web designer can design and formulate the layout for a Web page by

using HTML.A Web developer, working independently, can use Java code and other JSP

specific tags to code the business logic.

Disadvantages: If JSP pages are used in isolation, then the scripting code which

performs business and control logic can become cumbersome in the JSP pages. JSP pages

are also difficult to debug.

HACKING: As with the other problems there is main problem occurs if someone hack

the site or make changes in the site or code. So this is one of the major problem related

with the security.

DATABASE: The major and import storage system of any site is database so the security

of database is very important. If u don’t use the proper commands and servers then it

does not retrieve the data and not save the all contents properly.
SOLUTIONS OF ABOVE PROBLEMS:

MODEL-VIEW-CONTROLLER

A Design Pattern. Controller -- receives user interface input, updates data model

Model -- represents state of the world (e.g. shopping cart).View -- looks at model and

generates an appropriate user interface to present the data and allow for further input.

FOR DATABASE: Now we are using Microsoft SQL server 2008 having different

new features for the appropriate output in the project.

Development enhancements

DATE and TIME data types, New MERGE T-SQL syntax allows different

operations (UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE) on a table based on user-

defined conditions – all in a single statement

Data integration (“Business Intelligence”)

Integration Services (SSIS) now scales past 2 processors and adds better

performance for large datasets, Analysis Services (SSAS) scales and

performs better for large datasets, Report Services (SSRS) integrates

nicely with Office 2007 – export directly to Word, use Word and Excel for

report templates in Report Designer

SERVERS FOR FAST EXECUTION:

APACHE:

Apache is a very popular serve, 66% of the web sites on the Internet use Apache. Apache
Full-featured and extensible, Efficient, Robust, secure (at least, more secure than other

servers), Up to date with current standards, Open source, Free .

TOMCAT

Tomcat is the Servlet Engine than handles servlet requests for Apache. Tomcat is a

“helper application” for Apache. It’s best to think of Tomcat as a “servlet container”

Tomcat can be installed without Apache. It’s easier to install Tomcat standalone than as

part of Apache. By itself, Tomcat can handle web pages, servlet, and JSP.

TO AVOID HACKING:

JAVA SCRIPT: To avoid hacking we write all the code in java script. It is as much

secure that no-one can hack this code on the server and can’t make any changes . in this

we different tags for the security purpose and this code would never be visible for the

user on website.

USE OF XML AND META DATA:

File system metaphor seems ideally suited to the tree structure of XML

Meta data structure based on two nodes types; directory-nodes and binary-nodes

One XML document contains all meta information needed to build file structure for a

given class

Easy to re-build hierarchy of resources from XML tree

Database uses schema to specify stored document structure

 CHAPTER-4

PROGRESS REPORT AND FUTURE SCOPE:

TRAINING DETAILS:
Till now amongst the java modules we have covered:

All core concepts of java technology.

IN J2EE: Servlets, JSP, Template designing.

Now we are working on Struts and on our project modules

MODULLES COVERED TILL NOW:

we have covered the two modules of our project.

REGISTRATION MODULE I:-

Registered

Login module: in this module if the student and the faculty member have already their
account then they login with their user id and password. After the successful login their
profile pages would appear in front of them for the further processing

SOME SCREEN SHOTS OF PROJECT:

PRACTISE EXAMS
ONLINE RECRUITMENT
HELP
LEARNT LESSONS:
Be careful of scriplets in JSP; they expand to fill the available space!

Better to use a controller servlet to organize navigation through JSPs

XP and pair-programming works

A Java developer’s best friend is Goggle

END PRODUCT
With the completion of our website this is very informative and useful for the [Link]

students for refereeing the materials related to their subjects like question papers tutorials,

online test papers ,videos, tips to enhance the communication abilities, mock interviews

videos to prepare for the interviews, new updates regarding technologies, updation in the

syllabus, updated versions of books ,case studies .

And on the online recruitments user can prepare for the recruitment test and judge their

level to crack the exams or how much preparation would require for the exam. It also

provide with the format of all online recruitment exams

In this website we also provide the further links for the more information on the respected

fields.

FUTURE SCOPE:

No website is assumed as complete at any extend because enhancement is the must

require with the passage of time. So in TECHTUTS4U website we can add the ample

amount of useful and informative data for the use of users. And we can also make it more

attractive by some designing tools. as per the usage this website is very much useful for

the students so that they can easily get the resolved information rather then wasting time

on searching on rest of the sites on internet.
