Posted by Winnie Melda on November 19th, 2018

Iteration 1: Organizational Orientation

The orientation is the first iteration in any company where the researcher gets to know more about the company and the way it operates.  There is an explanation of the code of conduct and the rules that the.NET developer will have to adhere to while working in the company as an intern.  The company’s vision, mission, and strategic plan are also vital as they will help me to tailor my actions towards meeting them as I will be working as Dot NET developer.

The Plan

The session involved having a meeting with professionals, consultants, and the experts in the field of Dot Net application development. The session required two weeks. During the first week, the session involved understanding the company’s organization structure. Miss. Joy facilitated the session. Joy the director of ISO auditing and policy evaluator. The first session involved understanding the policies governing the Dot Net systems development. The second task involved the explanation of the industrial standards involved within the organization and the researching team of developers. The third subtask was concerned with the inquiries involving the code of ethics and best practice in practicing the development of the systems using the Dot Net systems.

The second week involved understanding the organization's goals, visions, and the aims. The main objective of the session was to understand how to link the organizations objectives within the proposed system development. The session was facilitated by Mr. Shem the industrial project portfolio manager. Mr. Shem was responsible for explaining the objectives, the goals, and the aims of the organization. The task involved included an understanding of the link that exists between the organizations goals, objectives, and aims and the relationship with the organization proposed projects (J. P. Shem, personal communication, January 07, 2016). 

The Action

I took part in booking an appointment with Miss. Joy who guided me in understanding the organization hierarchy of management. Miss Joy explained to me the major organization policies on the development systems with the current Dot Net programming language. Miss. Joy explained the process and program for understanding the organization structure and governance. I drew the structural and organization hierarchy of the entire organization. I took part in taking the initiative to understand industrial principles and standards for developing systems using the Dot Net systems. The industrial standards for the Dot Net programming language involved the development principles and methods specified by the developer. Miss Joyce instructed me on the development methodology and the cycles that form one of the main principles. Miss. Joy explained the code of ethics and the best practices in the Dot Net programming language. According to Miss. Joy explained the ethical practices in implementing the system is a conforming to the industrial standards and follow the systems development life cycle stages while developing and implementing the system. I participated in the session guided by Mr. Shem about understanding the organization's goals, visions, and the aims. Mr. Shem Explained to me how to relate the industrial objectives, goals, and visions with the proposed systems development processes. I conducted the research on the existing relationships between the business and the systems development processes. I wanted to get the full understanding of the link that exists between the organizations goals, objectives, and aims and the relationship with the organization proposed projects.

The Observation

I observed that the expert and the profession guidelines from Miss Joy and Mr. Shem facilitated proper preparation in the career development in the field of Dot Net programming language. The session incorporating the structural governance of them organization systems opened the wide view of the nature of the entire organization as a single system driving and controlling the basic operations in the entire firm. I observed that the experts guided me in understanding the link that exists between the organizations long-term goals and the short-term goals of the organization. I observed that the existing relationship enabled the developers of the systems like the Dot Net programming language to involve the end users, the directors and the stakeholders in defining and participating in the development process. I realized the involvement of the organization members promoted the development of the quality and acceptable projects. I also observed that the details concerning the industrial development of the organization systems have embraced the Dot Net framework as one of the systems development platforms and environments. The Dot Net programming framework is universally accepted as the standard programming technique to promote the development of the systems in the industries.

The Reflection

The organization orientation has equipped me with the knowledge and information about the Dot Net programming language. The facilitators like Miss. Joy and Mr. Shem have equipped me with background information concerning the management and communication controls within an organization setting. The session has enabled me to understand the existing bond between the organizations objectives and the proposed projects. The relationship facilitates the easier collection of data and information during the analysis of the user needs, requirements, and specifications. The entire working team of experts guided in the formulation of the ideas that can develop better, quality and acceptable Dot Net system through the following the development life cycle models. The organization orientation session has induced the urge to research and develop the Dot Net programming applications, the systems, and software that support business operations. The acquired knowledge, skills and experience from the experts earn me a quality potential of implementing the Dot Net systems that can automate business operations. The future research shall focus on implementing the dynamic system that has the potential of implanting Dot Net framework to develop industrial systems that satisfy the international standards and requirements desired by the organization. The Dot Net programming framework promote the best integration of the software,  hardware, and operating system thus making the Dot Net programming language best techniques to apply when developing high flexible, compatible and future-oriented systems with minimal compatibility issues (C. N. Mark, personal communication, January 09, 2016).  

Iteration 2: Training

The iteration will entail an in-depth learning experience under the supervision of the company Dot.NET senior developers and at the end of the training, there will be an assessment. During this iteration, there will also be the briefing on project development. The assignment of the project will depend on the scores of the assignment and so I will make sure I remain attentive throughout the training session.

The plan

The training session shall take a total of two weeks. The schedule for the activities was planned in weeks. During the first week period involved a session with Miss. Avian the expert in Dot Net architecture and design and one of the pioneers of the Microsoft mobile phone operating system. Miss. Avian shall train me in updating the system to implement the required hardware and software components. The session task shall include upgrading the hardware and software component to facilitate compatibility with the Dot Net architecture and framework.  The second week shall involve training by Mr. Mark the Dot Net systems developer. The main areas of training included the understanding of the Dot Net architecture and framework. The session involved downloading the Dot Net architecture and framework. The net task shall involve the installation of the Dot Net architecture and framework in the computer workstations.  The second task shall include training on the Dot Net architecture and framework and its components. Mr. Mark shall explain the services and the technologies supported by the Dot Net architecture and framework as well as the Dot Net Software Development Kit (SDK).

The action

I took part in the training session conducted by Miss. Avian. She guided me on the steps to take so as to update the systems hardware and software systems. According to Miss. Avian the Dot Net architecture and framework required a Microsoft Dot Net driver. Miss. Avian instructed me to download the Microsoft Dot Net framework driver version 4.5 and install on the workstations. I downloaded and installed the Dot Net framework version 4.5 to support the Dot Net architecture and framework and the Dot Net Software Development Kit (SDK).  The applications also required effective running software to support the kernel to support the graphical applications using the open Gel architecture libraries. I upgraded the Kernel driver of the workstations to support the graphical libraries within the Dot Net Software Development Kit (SDK). I participated in the second training session involving Mr. Mark. According to Mr. Mark, the entire the Dot Net architecture and framework is composed of the several interfaces and layers to accommodate multiple programming languages. The Dot Net architecture and framework supports the development of different applications like ASP Dot Net web applications, Java and JavaScript Object Oriented Applications, Oracle databases and the other applications developed by other low-level programming languages like C#, C++, and Ajax (R. B. Rahab, personal communication, January 11, 2016).

The Observation

During the entire training session, I have observed the various forms and styles of presenting the Dot Net architecture and framework from Miss. Avian and Mr. Mark. The various data and information presentation have enabled me to observe the conceptual framework of the Dot Net architecture and framework. I have observed that the process of activating and supporting the Dot Net architecture and framework involves the installation of the runtime files. The runtime files installed in the workstation machines during the upgrading process included the Microsoft Dot Net Framework version 4.5, the Dot Net redistributable and the Dot Net Systems Development Kit (J. Z. Abigail, personal communication, January 13, 2016).  I observed that the Dot Net redistributable is installed to enhance the development of applications. The Dot Net Systems Development Kit is installed to facilitate the running off developed Dot Net applications. I observed that the Dot Net architecture and framework is error free since the framework has a built in compilers the debug the developer code during the runtime. I observed that the Dot Net architecture and framework is highly flexible since the developed systems can be supported by any operating system thus making the Dot Net architecture and framework highly compatible.

The reflection

Through the training session facilitated by Miss Avian and Mr. Mark I have acquired the skills, experience and knowledge for that has equipped me with the understanding that developing and implementing applications systems using the Dot Net architecture and framework. The entire training session has enabled me to develop an interest in implementing software and the hardware based applications that facilitate running of applications in Dot Net architecture and framework. The upgrading session has equipped me with the knowledge, experience and skills necessary for ensuring that the entire operation of updating the machines to support Dot Net architecture and framework require special drivers. The training has given me great potential in handling the basics of Dot Net architecture and framework. The programming techniques supported by the Dot Net architecture and framework include the common programming languages thus making it easier for the system developers to design easily and develop applications that are highly flexible, scalable, and compatible with all other operating systems. Through the training, I have understood the various platforms of developing the platforms using a single development platform. The Dot Net architecture and framework supports various applications, dynamic websites and static websites within single development platform (D. H. Sam, personal communication, January 15, 2016).  

Iteration 3: Collecting Business Requirements

The organization will require me to collect the business requirements in light of the project assigned to me. I will leverage various data collection methods as I interact with a various cadre of Dot NET developers and end users of the application so as to have knowledge of what they would require being part of the developed application.  That interaction will be helpful as I will be able to develop a user-oriented application because the development will take place from the users’ perspective.

The Plan

The session shall involve the conduction of preliminary studies to facilitate the collection of data and information. The schedule shall take two weeks. During the first week, the individual team shall concentrate on the data and information collection from the end users, the stakeholders and the directors. The session shall incorporate the use of the data and information from the various the human-based sources. The first task shall use the interview questions to determine the end user needs. The session shall apply the needs analysis techniques. The second task shall involve the administering of the questionnaires to the stakeholders and the directors of the organization. Questionnaires shall seek to provide the detailed information on the expectations of the entire project to collect the directors and the stakeholder’s views. The third task shall involve the use of the demographic observation to the target group (M. F. Gideon, personal communication, January 17, 2016). The target group shall be composed of the end users, the stakeholders, and the directors. The session shall determine the input and the output information to the proposed system. During the second week, the work schedule shall focus on collecting data and information from the existing system. The process shall involve the process systems analysis process. The analyzing of the system shall involve determining the hardware components required in the system. The second task shall involve determining the software components required by the proposed systems.

The plan

I implemented the process of data and information collection. I applied the data and collection techniques to determine the user needs. The process of collecting the data and information determined the user specifications. I applied the interview methodology to the end users of the system to obtain their requirement.  I used the interview session to determine the problems encountered by the end users from the current systems. The second session involved the implementation of the questionnaire administered the questionnaires to the directors and the stakeholders. My main aim was to collect their view about the new proposed system development. The last session involved the conducting the demographic, observation. I observed the users of the system as they performed various duties and, activities. My main aim in the collecting in observing was to analyze the behavior of the systems in real life, as well as the way employees, associate with the fellow teams. The second week I analyzed the existing systems. I determined the hardware components required by the proposed system by comparing the existing system (K. G. Charity, personal communication, January 19, 2016). I also collected details on the type of the software components required and their specifications.  

The observation

During my preliminary study, I observed that the end users encounter challenges with the current system. The data and information obtained from the interview sessions revealed that entire data and information center require improvement. I observed that the users require customizable applications as well as the user-friendly interfaces in the web based applications and the client side of the databases. The results of data and information analyzed from the questionnaires revealed that the stakeholders and the directors require highly scalable, flexible, fault tolerance, and compatible applications to the entire operations of the organization. The demographic observation revealed that the entire system responds slowly and, therefore, inefficient in coordinating and required results. The processing speed and the throughput time is low thus requiring better hardware and software devices (T. B. Humphrey, personal communication, January 21, 2016).  I observed that the systems analysis study was vital and important to enhance the articulation of the various systems and operations within the organization. The major areas requiring improvements included the software compatibility issues as well as the hardware incompatibility problems. I observations concluded that the entire organization required new system developed using Dot Net framework.

The Reflection

The collection of requirement business session was effectively and efficiently accomplished. The iteration goals and objectives were achieved. The data and information collection methodologies have revealed the need for a dynamic system to bring a lasting solution to the society. The session that incorporated the individuals from different levels of management has proved and justified that the current situation requires a system developed through standardized architectures. The report collected and analyzed from the stakeholders, and the directors proved that the organization required better systems to automate the operations of the organization. The report verifies and proofs the need for the Dot Net framework to be used as one of the main platforms to design the required system (M. N. Joyce, personal communication, January 23, 2016). The data and information collection session incorporate the major role players in the system development process. The involvement of the entire users of the system makes the development of the proposed systems acceptable to the individuals thus making the developers design effective and acceptable systems. The session has not incorporated the feasibility study analysis of the proposed system. However, the future study shall implement the feasibility study to ensure that the proposed system is effectively efficiently accomplished within the company budgets. 

Iteration 4: Problem solving and testing

In this iteration, I will take part in developing then assigned project under the guidance of the organization.NET developers.  There will be two or more developers that will be supervising my work, and I will have to make consultations throughout the development process.  I will also have to test the project so as to ascertain if it is free of bugs and that it works as per the project requirements.

The Plan

The session shall involve the development of the project. The proposed project is the development of dynamic web page that implements a repository database system. The project development plan takes two weeks. The first week shall involve the preparation of the design. The first architectural design shall be designing the dynamic web interface using the ASAP Dot Net application platform. The second architectural design shall include the drawing of the front end and the back end database design. The front end database design shall implement the three tires architectural design. The back end architectural design shall implement the two-tier architectural design. The second-week session shall involve the implementation of the designs using the specific programming code. The dynamic web interface shall get implemented using the ASAP Dot Net programming language. The dynamic website shall also incorporate the JavaScript code, the cascading style sheet code (CSS), hypertext markup language (HTML) and the PHP. The database architectures shall be implemented using the Oracle architecture (F. S. Faith, personal communication, January 25, 2016). The database shall also incorporate the OLAP Architecture and the Object oriented techniques among other codes.

The Action

I developed and implemented the dynamic web page and the relational database using the Dot Net framework architecture. The various areas addressed included the coding of the user interface. The user-friendly interface was incorporated the graphical interface that was effectively supported the Dot Net framework architecture open Gel inbuilt graphic libraries. I designed and coded the social aspects within the interface. I coded his message and chat box to enhance communication between the clients and the employees. The user interface also contained the telnet component to facilitate remote troubleshooting of the system. Within the web page, I embedded the intranet capability to link the organization with other dedicated industrial platforms. I also ensured that the dynamic web page was fully equipped with extranet capability to enable the full support of the organization operations. I implemented the dynamic web page through the incorporation of various programming language. I used the ASAP Dot Net to code the OLAP platform of the database. I used the Sequential Query Language (SQL) to implement the main database commands. I applied JavaScript platform to code the front end and the back end platforms of the dynamic website to implement the security parameters. I implemented the dynamic website effectively using the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and the PHP.

The Observation

I observed that the entire design was implemented through the Dot Net architecture and framework. I observed that the requirements and the needs of the end users, the directors, and the stakeholders were effectively accomplished by the Dot Net architecture and framework. The user functions and the operations of the entire organization needs were effectively embedded within the organization platforms. I observed that the entire functions and the operations were effectively automated through the implementation of the Dot Net architecture and framework. The entire organization operations can easily be implemented, updated and launched at runtime. I observed that the system I implemented using the Dot Net architecture and framework supported the real-time operations like the use of the chatting box and the Telnet platforms. The platform allows the real time conversation as well immediate feedback reports. The desired system implemented the database that enhanced the operations of the database mining, the data warehousing, the virtual technology and the big data concepts and the virtual (B. C. Jane, personal communication, January 27, 2016). The system implemented through the Dot Net architecture and framework can run on any dedicated operating systems. The platform allows the running under standalone workstations as well as the dynamic web applications. I observed that the system had a high level of implementing and supporting the virtual technology like the use of the virtual cloud computing.
