What are the steps and ways to build the Intranet at Watcharawittaya English Program School?

The steps and ways to build the Intranet are:

1. What you need to build an intranet:
· A local area network (LAN). You can‘t have an intranet without a network of computers. So the first thing you will need is a LAN in your office. We discussed how to set up a LAN in the June issue.
· A web server. To run an intranet, you need an internal website. To run a website, you need a web server. Your intranet will be hosted on a web server. There are two popular web servers today: Apache and IIS. See the sidebar “Which server?” for a comparison. If you expect heavy traffic on the intranet, we recommend dedicating one computer to be the intranet server.
· Web browsers on your PC’s. Since an intranet is also a website, your staff will need web browsers to use it. Install Internet Explorer or Netscape on your computers.

2.Understand how websites work

And now, some capsule information and guidelines to help you build a good intranet. When you install a web server, your computer creates a folder known as the web root. This folder is the home of your intranet. In IIS, this folder is usually c:\inetpub\wwwroot. In Apache, it’s c:\Program Files\ApacheGroup\Apache\htdocs. You will save your intranet documents into this web root, in the form of web pages.

Web pages are text documents that are formatted in a special way called HTML or HyperText Markup Language. Web pages have filenames that end in .html or .htm – example: AboutUs.html, index.html or projects.htm.

To create web pages, you can use web creation tools like Macromedia Dreamweaver or FrontPage. If you’re on a tight budget, consider downloading free tools like Coffee Cup. Visit http://www.sharewarejunkies.com/winhtml.htm for a list of free web creation tools.

3.Plan your intranet

Your intranet is only good when it’s useful to your company or  your  school. And it won’t be useful if you don’t ask the users what they need. So, gather representatives from your company or school  and give them an introduction to intranets. Emphasize that the power of an intranet is in sharing knowledge. Then, ask them what they think should be shared on the intranet.

Here are some things you can put on the intranet:
· Documents, templates and sample reports or proposals that help writers speed up and improve the writing process.
· Organizational Chart with descriptions of what each department does, its members and contact info. Budgets, key result areas and other operational info may also be included.
· Lessons learned, best practices or how-to tips.
· A calendar of events that can be used to announce ongoing events, birthdays and even cultural activities and announcements.
· A bulletin board or forum to allow staff to post messages.
· A directory of staff competencies and expertise. The expertise here does not refer only to official designations. More importantly, it will be useful to know for instance that your admin assistant is also good at operating the fax machine.

4.Build and maintain it

Decide on whether to outsource or do it in-house. Assign an intranet coordinator and see if he can handle all the updating, using a web creation tool.

If your company or  school needs to update frequently or has many departments contributing to the content, you should consider installing a content management system (CMS). A CMS automates and facilitates intranet maintenance. Almost anyone with little HTML skills can use a CMS. An excellent CMS is Drupal (http://www.drupal.org/).


5.Promote and improve the intranet

Lastly, promote the use of your intranet. Conduct regular surveys and give recognition to people or departments who diligently update and use it. Assign an intranet task force that can meet regularly to assess and recommend improvements. If you have announcements, make them on your meetings and publish the details on your intranet. That way, the intranet becomes a habit for everyone.

What are the three basic programming control structures?

The following are the types of control structures.




Conditional structure:

If and Else statement is used in the programming for conditional structures. This statement uses a specific condition check. If this condition is true the code following the If statement will be executed otherwise the Else portion will be executed. The Else part of the If state is optional. The syntax of this condition structure varies language to language.



Iteration structure:

Iteration structure or loops are used to repeat the instructions. There are mainly three types of loops available. For Loop, While Loop, do while loop. These loops repeat the instruction until a specific condition is true.





Jump statements:

These statements include Break, Continue and Goto instructions. These instruction jumps from one portion of the program to another portion of the program. The function calling can also be included in this category.



Selective structure:

Switch statement is called selective structure. In this we provide a number of options and take decision depending upon the choice.

What is Intranet?

An intranet is a private computer network that uses Internet Protocol technologies to securely share any part of an organization's information or network operating system within that organization. The term is used in contrast to internet, a network between organizations, and instead refers to a network within an organization. Sometimes the term refers only to the organization's internal website, but may be a more extensive part of the organization's information technology infrastructure. It may host multiple private websites and constitute an important component and focal point of internal communication and collaboration.
