CHAPTER THREE
3.0 EXPERIENCE
The four month industrial attachment has been great one for me, because it has
exposed me to a lot of things that ordinarily I would have learn both theoretically
and also the practical aspect of it. The following is a summary and a breakdown of
what I learn during my four month (IT).
• Web design/ development
 • Programming languages
• Software and hardware maintenance
• Networking
• Computer assembly language

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO WEB DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT

Web design is anything related to network and internet. Web application is
application software which is accessed in the network (internet).
• NATIVE APPLICATION: is installed in the computer and all the resources are
there examples of native application include Microsoft word, Microsoft
excel, power point etc. the languages that use this application are java,
visual basic, c++ and python. And is used for creating school portal, online
store, online survey, online banking and online news.

• WEB APPLICATION: is found in a network and it most have a browser and

internet connection, languages that are used for building this applications
are HTML, CSS, javaScript, PHP, XML, CSM and ASP.

• HYBRID APPLICATION: is partially native web application that uses both the
languages of native and web application. Example: Facebook and
Whatsapp.

HTML PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENT

• If you wish to program web design, you will need the followings:
• Text editor such as notepad, notepad++ and sublime
• Browser (preferably latest browser such as Microsoft edge, Google chrome,
Firefox, UC browser)

Basic HTML tags

The most important tags in HTML are tags that define headings, paragraph and
line breaks.

Basic HTML tags Description

<html> Define an HTML document
<head> Define the document’s heading
<body> Define the document’s body
<h1> to <h6> Define header one to six
<p> Defines a paragraph
<br> Inserts a single break line
<hr> Define a horizontal rule
Headings are define with the <h1> to<h6> tags <h1> define the largest heading
while <h6> define the smallest.

CSS (CASCADING STYLE SHEET)

Css is one of the necessary technologies which are needed in any web
development. Css is a language which is used for styling or formatting web
document and the element in the web document. Css is connected to a webpage
in one of the three ways.
• Internal
• External
• Inline
Internal css: internal css is created in the page which is styles. The tag of style is
used in the head tag to create css.
External css: external css is created as separate page and is saved with “.css” file
extension. The css page is connected to the page which it want to style using the
“link” tag, also inside the head tag. Example
<head>
<link href=”location of the file name .css” rel =”stylesheet” type =”text/css”>
</head>
Inline css: inline css is created inside the tag as an attribute. The style attribute is
used inside almost all tags to create an inline css. Example
<table style=”css code here….”# </table>.

INTRODUCTION TO PHP
PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more
people found out how useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first version of
PHP way back in 1994.
• PHP is a recursive acronym for PHP: “hypertext preprocessor”.

manage dynamic content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-
commerce sites.
• It is integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, post
gre SQL, Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL server.
• PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when compiled as an
apache module on the Unix side. The MySQL server, once started, executes
even very complex queries with huge result sets in record-setting time.
 • PHP is forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible.
• PHP syntax is C-like.]
Common uses of PHP
• PHP performs system functions i.e from files on a system it can create,
open, read, write and close them.
• PHP can handle forms i.e gather data from files, save data to a file,
through PHP.
• You delete, modify element within your database through PHP.
• Access cookies variables and set cookies.
• It can encrypt data.

Characteristics of PHP
• Simplicity.
• Efficiency.
• Security.
• Flexibility
• Familiarity.
EXAMPLE OF HTML PROGRAM USING PHP
<?php
Include “db.php”;
If (isset($_POST[‘submit’])){
$username=$_POST[‘username’];
$password=$_POST[‘
