New course on Web Development # 2

In this changing era of IT and its applications, one needs to be updated with the technology. All the information, all the interaction, all the connection with this changing era can only be possible with a real life connection with the IT world. But here the question comes, what is the medium to connect with it. What is the method for this connection? The pure answer is www.  i.e.  World Wide Web. As the name says, it is the medium or the platform to connect common people with the technology worldwide.

Earlier this interaction or connection was made through codes, the coding languages only, which were understood by the technicians or the group of technical people only. But, nowadays an introduction to web technology has made it possible for the common people also to communicate through internet.

The concept of Web development is like as same as to develop or make such applications or such websites which can help common people to communicate with each other. These websites or the applications can be an information publishing website or the interacting websites. The difference is that in information publishing or static WebPages one can't send any data or message while in a dynamic website, one can send as well as receive the data or information.

This course by Nettech will help the students to develop such user friendly or user-interactive solutions or WebPages that can be easily handled by our common people i.e. "our janta" also... After completion of this course, one will be able to develop various web applications and websites. This project based training program will help you to get live with the real world. You will be acquainted with the present web development scenario and the methodology used in corporate world.

You will be able to develop your own solution, your own website or your own application. You will be able to provide business solutions, corporate solutions, e-commerce solutions and various static or dynamic websites. The web forums, blogs, social networking websites, chat applications... All web interacting things will float within your control. Also through this course you will get a free .in domain and hosting space , using which you can implement your own ideas live.

Why Nettech is getting in to WEB Development ?? very good question, we at Nettech planning to start a new department where in we can take up work on network level application development, we have network guys what we need is pool of web developers who can do the work. Please note we are not leaving networking at any point, this new course will be step to go big on networking only. If you know we have Netmin projects - but we still use webmin - so why not some web based netmin. Why not our own email client rather than sendmail - the list is long !! To make it short please note we are not deviating from Networking, we are going more deep on the same !!

So,  get ready for this 60 hours course for an encounter with the reality behind web. Learn it, control it and master it... See you all this winter at Kolkata :-)

What is that we will do in the ERP course!!

We will integrate all business function of a hypothetical company in one application, resulting a single window for communication with the entire enterprise. Lets take an example of a cola company (my favourite – you will have minimum two cola cases during the course). For simplicity purpose lets assume the company only produces one drink – LMN (the nimbu pani).

To produce the same what is that you need, to start with the raw material for example – we will require lets say 200 ml water, ½ lemon, and two spoon of sugar (I know this is not enough – take its as an example only). We will also require an empty bottle, label for the same and a cap. Then comes packaging – may be a crate to hold 24 bottles.

Now think of running the plant for 3 shifts, assuming you would like to take the advantage of the plant and machinery already installed – to maximise your profit. You will require human resource, now we have to plan for the no. of people required for each job multiply that by 3 shifts, should we pay for overtime or should we employ more people to run the plant. Please do remember that there is always the option for outsourcing. You can understand that, only to produce lemon water you will be required to maintain staff records to calculate the wages, overtime and always weigh your option against outsourcing. Here we will integrate human resource management with your manufacturing process, which will do the resource handling, recruitment, salary, welfare and lots of the other functions.

Now let’s come to your stock location, you should plan your manufacturing according to your stock condition, so your store house’s physical location should be optimised – small area you will have problem, vast area – is wastage of real estate and your capital as well. Now – stock can be in different locations, different cities, different countries, think of Boeing or Airbus – think of their size, no. of raw materials required and the dispersed stock location. I hope you are able to visualise if we can give an integrated application which can give exact quantity of materials available at any given point of time – that will have a tremendous value addition for any enterprise.

Now think about a system which will generate automated purchase order and also send the same to your suppliers depending upon the minimum stock rules that you set for a product, as far as for our example, you have decided that you will keep 1000 lemon at any given point of time, so the moment your lemon stocks becomes 999 it will send an order to your preset vendor for another 500 or a set-quantity on real time. – think the managerial implication of the same. Now there is a catch – you need 200 lemon everyday for your production and it takes 4 days to get a new stock from your vendor and if you are in West Bengal which is a Bandh loving state, your entire projection would change. – So here we will add purchase management to your system.

As far as manufacturing is concern – how do you know how much to produce? , so we will integrate your manufacturing to your sales management system. So depending upon the sales forecast – and the stocks available – you will produce the item. Now if you have a wrong forecast – lets say demand is actually more, for example for 1000 bottles – but your sales team says 800 will do, the result will be stock out, end result you go to a shop to ask for your brand, it is not there you drink some other brand, so company brand image is gone, you loose out on sales and market-share. – So can’t do stock out. In other case – you produce 1200 where as the demand was for 1000 - you will have excess stock, no place to keep, your money is stuck, more over some stock will have validity or expiry date.

Add all these chain with logistics. You are required to send material to Madhya Pradesh – from where will you send, Delhi, Kolkata or Mumbai. How do you decide, cost, labour, transport – life is going to be more complex. Think about a demand of 1200 in a region where as your truck can carry only 1000 bottles at a time, what will you do, send 1000 and another truck of 200, which will any ways take the charges for a full truck. Now – putting the incoming stocks in your storehouse, a truck has come with full load, but your store in-charge is not aware of the same – but with a integrated application, the moment purchase places an order of the same will reflect in your stock dashboard – the materials are on their way – will reach by this date.

Don’t forget to add finance with all this, one has to know, when to pay, what to pay it is your good-will that matters the most. In other case, the finance is required to collect money on-time, or it will be a bad-debt. After all you need to submit report for your legal requirements – or there will be scams.

All that and many more is what I will say is ERP. What’s in it for you, honestly you will not get ERP course at a price that we are offering. More over you will get the same course from various institutes who will kill you with boring lectures and theory – don’t worry we will not do the same. For this course laptop is compulsory, so we can install the application and utilise our time at the maximum.  

As a career opportunity, if you have read this so far, you will understand this is different, this is not one particular subject, not only database or not only coding or development, its mix of all. It will surely open new ideas and paths for the serious ones – who are looking forward to work on the same.

If nothing works, think about yourself as a development guy, who knows why you are doing the work, what is the requirement for a particular module on a macro level against an engineer who is coding something – only because he was asked to do so, without having much appreciation for what the module will do.

I think this will be reasonable, for you to decide, if you require any further clarification please post a comment here, we will get back to you.
