2. INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT

2.1 MOBILE RECHARGE MANAGER

MOBILE RECHARGE MANAGER is a computerized, window application to in which we record the detail of the Recharges of the distributors. It will be easy for a Mobile recharge owner to manage records of various Plans, Distributors, Purchases and the Balance left at the end of the day which will surely prove out to be beneficial for him.

In this system, there is a login process for the users. By default all features of the application are disabled. User needs to give valid user id and password. Once the users has logged In successfully, they can use the application. After login to the application the user can access the application, they can add and edit, the various information regarding the Recharges.

2.2 OVERVIEW OF RECHARGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

First a user is authenticated based upon his/her user Id and Password. If authentication succeeds the user is marked as “logged in” and gets the privilege of inserting, deleting, retrieving or updating records. Data of all the recharges is stored in one centralized database. User can easily use this application without any technical knowledge. But user must have knowledge about the machine and application doesn’t need any professional to use the application. User can easily access the data, maintain the record of Recharge.

2.3 PURPOSE OF RECHARGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Ø Keep record of all the recharges.

Ø Generating reports for presenting balance of the recharge.

Ø Application maintains the records of all the documents involved in various Recharges.

2.4 BENEFITS OF RECHARGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

. Recharge management system keeps record of all the recharges involved entities like distributors, purchase etc. User sees the details of recharges done in a particular day which reduces the chances of misplacing of details.

2.5 MAIN FUNCTION OF RECHARGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Ø To keep record of all the recharges.

Ø To keep records of Sales and Purchase.

Ø To keep record of Plans, Companies, Distributors etc.

Ø Faster processing of accessing the details.

Ø To help user for better management of Recharges.

Ø Database Analysis

Ø Database Design

Ø Database Creation

Ø Interface Designing

Ø Coding

Ø Testing

Ø Report Creation

3.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

3.2.1 Database Analysis

As it was essential for us to find out more about the present system, we used the following methods to gather the information:

Ø Observation: A user, who wishes to outsource his software development work at an economical cost, has to contact different providers, either physically or telephonically, before deciding upon a particular provider that best suits his needs.

Ø Document Sampling: Moreover, most of the work involved in the software development process has to be done manually which is very time consuming and cumbersome and also it reduces the efficiency, accuracy and speed of data retrieval.

Ø Questionnaires: These were conducted to get vies of the other employees who are currently employed in the system whether they are happy with the present system or not.

3.2.2 Design Objectives

Software design is the first of three technical activities- design, code generation and test

That is required to build and verify the software. Each activity transforms information

in a manner that ultimately results in validated computer software.

The design task produces a data design, an architectural design, an interface design and

component design. The design of an information system produces the details that clearly describe how a system will meet the requirements identified during system analysis. The system design process is not a step by step adherence of clear produces and guidelines. When we started working on system design, we face different types of problems many of these are due to constraints imposed by the user or limitations of hardware and software available. Sometimes it was quite difficult to enumerate that complexity of the problems and the solution thereof since the variety of likely problems of too great and no solution are exactly similar however the following consideration we kept in mind during design phase:

Ø Practically: The proposed system has to be quite stable and can be operated by the people with average intelligence.

Ø Efficiency: It tried to involve accuracy, timeless and comprehensiveness of the system output.

Ø Security: Proper authorization is done to take care of who is accessing the database and proper security measures are taken.

Ø Cost: It is desirable for the system with minimum cost subject to the condition that it must satisfy the entire requirement.

3.2.3 Testing and Implementation

Testing begins ‘in the small’ and progresses ‘to the large’. By this we name that early testing focuses on a simple component and applies white and black box tests to uncover errors in program logic and function. After individual components are tested they must be integrated testing continues as the software is constructed among different testing is most important.

An important aspect of a system analyst’s job is to make sure that the new design is implemented to established standards. The term implementation has different meanings, ranging from the conversions of the basic application to a complete replacement of a computer system. Implementation is used to here to mean the process of converting new or a revised system design into an operational one. Conversion is one aspect of implementation review and software maintenance. There are three types of implementation:

Ø Implementation of a computer system to replace a manual system

Ø Implementation of a new computer system to replace an existing one

Ø Implementation of a modified application to replace an existing one using the same computer

4.3.1 Understanding the .NET framework Architecture

The .NET Framework consists of two main components: the .NET Framework Class Library and the Common Language Runtime. The .NET Framework class library provides the types that are common to all .NET languages. Programmers can use these Types to develop different kinds of Applications, such as Console application, Windows and Web application and web services.

The common Language Runtime consists of components that load the MSIL code of a Program into the Runtime, compile the MSIL code into native code, execute and manage the code, enforce security and type safety and provide thread support and other useful services.

INTRODUCTION OF C#

Visual C# .NET is Microsoft's C# development tool. It includes an interactive development environment, visual designers for building Windows and Web applications, a compiler, and a debugger. Visual C# .NET is part of a suite of products, called Visual Studio .NET, that also includes Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and the JAVA Script scripting language. All of these languages provide access to the Microsoft .NET Framework, which includes a common execution engine and a rich class library. The .NET Framework defines a "Common Language Specification" (CLS), a sort of lingua franca that ensures seamless interoperability between CLS-compliant languages and class libraries. For C# developers, this means that even though C# is a new language, it has complete access to the same rich class libraries that are used by seasoned tools such as Visual Basic .NET and Visual C++ .NET. C# itself does not include a class library.

NAMESPACE IN C#

The programs presented so far have stood on their own except for dependence on a few system-provided classes such as System. Console . It is far more common, however, for real-world applications to consist of several different pieces, each compiled separately. For example, a corporate application might depend on several different components, including some developed internally and some purchased from independent software vendors.

Namespaces and assemblies enable this component-based system. Namespaces provide a logical organizational system. Namespaces are used both as an "internal" organization system for a program, and as an "external" organization system — a way of presenting program elements that are exposed to other programs.

Assemblies are used for physical packaging and deployment. An assembly may contain types, the executable code used to implement these types, and references to other assemblies.

There are two main kinds of assemblies: applications and libraries. Applications have a main entry point and usually have a file extension of .exe; libraries do not have a main entry point, and usually have a file extension of .dll.

To demonstrate the use of namespaces and assemblies, this section revisits the "hello, world" program presented earlier, and splits it into two pieces: a class library that provides messages and a console application that displays them.

The class library will contain a single class named Hello Message. The example

// Hello Library.cs

Namespace Microsoft.CSharp.Introduction

   Public class Hello Message

      Public string Message {

         Get {

            Return "hello, world";

Shows the Hello Message class in a namespace named Microsoft.CSharp.Introduction. The Hello Message class provides a read-only property named Message. Namespaces can nest, and the declaration

COMPONENTS OF CLR

a. Class Loader: is an abstract class. Its purpose is to tell JVM in what manner a class is to be loaded at runtime.

b. MSIL: Microsoft Intermediate Language is considered to be the lowest form of human readable language. It is CPU independent and includes instructions of how to load, store, initialize objects. JIT converts this MSIL into native code which is dependent on the CPU.

c. Code Manager: Is responsible for managing code at runtime.

d. Garbage Collector: The .NET garbage collector enables high-speed allocation and release of memory for the objects in managed code. Its main aim is proper memory management.

e. Security Engine: It ensures all the security restrictions.

f. Type Checker: It enforces the constraints of types. It enforces strictness in type checking.

g. Thread Support: It allows multithreading

h. Debug engine: It allows proper debugging of an application.

i. Base class library: It provides all the types that an application need at runtime.

j. Exception manager: Handles all the exception for an application during runtime.

k. COM Marshaller: It provides an option for interoperability for an application

4.3.2 INTRODUCTION TO MS SQL SERVER

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database, it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different audiences and for different workloads (ranging from small applications that store and retrieve data on the same computer, to millions of users and computers that access huge amounts of data from the Internet at the same time). Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.

INTRODUCTION TO SQL SERVER 2005

SQL Server 2005 (formerly codenamed "Yukon") released in October 2005. It included native support for managing XML data, in addition to relational data. For this purpose, it defined an xml data type that could be used either as a data type in database columns or as literalism queries. XML columns can be associated with XSD schemas; XML data being stored is verified against the schema. XML is converted to an internal binary data type before being stored in the database. Specialized indexing methods were made available for XML data. XML data is queried using XQuery; SQL Server 2005 added some extensions to the T-SQL language to allow embedding XQuery queries in T-SQL. In addition, it also defines a new extension to XQuery, called XML DML that allows query-based modifications to XML data. SQL Server 2005 also allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests. When the data is accessed over web services, results are returned as XML.

Common Language Runtime (CLR) integration was introduced with this version, enabling one to write SQL code as Managed Code by the CLR. For relational data, T-SQL has been augmented with error handling features (try/catch) and support for recursive queries with CTEs (Common Table Expressions). SQL Server 2005 has also been enhanced with new indexing algorithms, syntax and better error recovery systems. Data pages are check summed for better error resiliency, and optimistic concurrency support has been added for better performance. Permissions and access control have been made more granular and the query processor handles concurrent execution of queries in a more efficient way. Partitions on tables and indexes are supported natively, so scaling out a database onto a cluster is easier. SQL CLR was introduced with SQL Server 2005 to let it integrate with the .NET Framework.

SQL Server 2005 introduced "MARS" (Multiple Active Results Sets), a method of allowing usage of database connections for multiple purposes.

SQL Server 2005 introduced DMVs (Dynamic Management Views), which are specialized views and functions that return server state information that can be used to monitor the health of a server instance, diagnose problems, and tune performance.

Service Pack 1 (SP1) of SQL Server 2005 introduced Database Mirroring, a high availability option that provides redundancy and failover capabilities at the database level. Failover can be performed manually or can be configured for automatic failover. Automatic failover requires a witness partner and an operating mode of synchronous (also known as high-safety or full safety).

CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

Consumer behavior is defined as activities people undertake when obtaining, consuming and disposing of products and services.

Consumer behaviour is the behaviour that consumer displays in searching for purchasing, using, evaluating & disposing of the products and services that they expect will satisfy their needs.

Defination by C.G.Walter-

Consumer behavior is the process where by individual decides whether, when, what, how and from where purchase goods and services.

A person‟s behavior changes from place to place and situation to situation or, say it is very inconsistent. The person when has a need, is willing and able to satisfy the need is called a CONSUMER. The consumer would go different ways to satisfy it‟s needs depending on his social, cultural, family, economic and educational background. Consumer is the principle a priori of business. The efficiency with which a free market system of enterprise operates, depends upon the extent of consumer understanding possessed by the business community. A business community that is ignorant of consumer preferences cannot possibly fulfill it‟s obligations in a meaningful and responsive manner.

So here comes the need to prepare project report on CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR. Consumer Behavior is broadly defined as “the behavior the consumer displays in searching for, purchasing, using and evaluating products, services, and ideas which they expect will satisfy their needs.” Consumer Behavior is not only the study of what people consume, but is also the study of who the consumers are, why they consume, how often they consume, and under what conditions they consume.

CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR refers to the buying behavior of ultimate consumers, those persons who purchase products for personal or household use, not for business purpose.

There are Psychological Theories that help us to understand and predict the effect of all external and internal factors on a consumer. External factors include Culture, Society, Reference group and family etc. Internal factors comprise in a consumer mind and how consumers learning, memory, attitude, personality, lifestyle and motivation levels affect consumer behavior. What would initiate a buying process and how a buying decision would end is all covered under the study of consumer behavior. This all further helps relate product / service, price and promotion etc. with consumer behavior. Thus organization can place marketing mix so as to propagate their product/services.

The present study on Salon market is also trying to find Consumer Perception about different brands of beauty, quality of service and how offers, discounts, promotional offers affecting the sale of services, the brand image of company.

PSYCHOGRAPHIC

In psychographic segmentation buyers are divided into different groups on the basis of lifestyle and \ or personality. People within the same demographic group can exhibit very different psychographic profiles. These psychographic bases are often difficult to measure, but they offer potential rewards in terms of providing management with a more relevant basis for differentiating between segments of a market.

LIFESTYLE

People exhibit many more lifestyles than are suggested by the seven social classes. People‟s product interests are influenced by their lifestyles. In fact the goods they consume express their lifestyles. Marketers are increasingly segmenting their markets by consumer lifestyles. Companies making cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, and furniture are always seeking opportunities in lifestyle segmentation.

PERSONALITY

Personality affects the consumption of many goods, particularly those consumed publicly. An aggressive personality for example, may be reflected in the choice of ostentatious clothing, furniture, and automobiles. Preferences are frequently so different that it is impossible to serve all personality types with the same product or brand. A recognition of important personality types can help management “position” it‟s towards a profitable segment or segments.

Marketers have used personality variables to segment markets. They endow their products with brand personalities that correspond to consumer personalities.

Consumer vs Customer

Consumer-

A consumer is anyone who typically engages in any one 0r all of the activities. It is one who consumes/uses the product.

Customer-

It is one who actually purchases a product or service from a particular organization or shop. A customer is always defined in terms of a specific product or company.

COMPANY PROFILE

Introduction

Fast growing and prolific, the beauty salon industry is focusing on developing talent to grow a loyal customer base willing to spend on expanded products and services. The industry felt declines during the economic downturn, but still remained one of the strongest performing within personal care. The industry is now even one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. Barriers to entry to the industry are minimal, creating intense competition for the consumer spending dollars available. The main draw for beauty salons is the stylists they employ.

In the 21st century, beauty and make up are like the wheels of a cart or the two sides of a coin. Women are beautiful in themselves; but a little make-up does help a lot and it keeps one to make the day better and happier. Every woman wants to be pretty whether she‟s young or old so the beauty salon is the place to go. Beauty salons are also like a temple; however, the difference is that we go to worship in the temple and in the beauty salon we go to be worshipped by the beauticians and by the other people around. The beauty salon has become an almost iconic figure in Western culture and Southeast Asian culture as well as in modern generation. The beauty salon is where a woman goes to have their hair and nails done, but is also a center for community news confessions and general „hen parties”. As such, choosing a beauty salon is a process most women (and even men) will undergo.

The first thing to start in choosing a salon is to evaluate what needs to be done. A woman who just wants her hair trimmed might go to a beauty salon than women who wants a permanent coloring, or more extensive services. If a woman wants her hair cut promptly and that day, she might be better off visiting to a walk-in salon, more willingly than trying to find her regular stylist. For other kind of services, a woman might want to think about a full-service in by-appointment-only beauty salon. This signifies that she will have a stylist who is expecting her and definitely knows what she wants to be done.

Women should also choose a beauty salon based on their ethnic background. This may sound strange, but different ethnic groups have different hair needs. A salon that has a primarily Filipino-Korean clientele, for instance, will be much better versed in working with the unique needs of black hair. A white stylist may not be as familiar with these needs. Salons also may carry different products, depending on the ethnicity of their clients

Scenario of Salon Market- In India

The beauty business in india is growing phenomenally with the cosmetics market growing at 15-20% annually, twice as fast as that of the united states and European markets.

The retail beauty and cosmetics market in India currently estimated at USD, 950 million is pegged at USD 2.68 billion by the year 2020.

Over the last few years cosmetic products have seen a growth of 60%,salons have see a growth rate of 35%,cosmetic treatments are seeing a growth rate of 5%.

The hair and beauty industry is seeing a per capita annual spend of USD 1.2 which is expected to grow to USD 6.2 by 2015.

India has about 10,00,000 no. of salon‟s this no. is constantly growing.

Basic grooming and hair care seems to spend of Rs.200-Rs.1000 from the salon goers.

Women contribute to over 85% of the salon industry revenue.

Men‟s hair is the next wave set to hit the Indian salon industry.

The spa and body treatment segment is estimated to grow approximately USD 772 million over the next five to eight years.

History of Beauty Salon In India

If you aren‟t aware of it yet, the history of beauty salons is not relatively new to the world. Back in the days of the ancient Egyptians, people from

the upper classes would normally have their hair clipped very close to their heads. This is so they could wear full and fancy wigs on top of their heads for special occasions, ceremonies and public outings. Back then, the beauty salons were the places where wigs were being made and ordered. While many beauty salons could be found inside the palaces of the rich and noble, there were also a few on the streets which the commoners frequented.

As a result of this history, many people had become accustomed to having their hair styled for them throughout the years. Now beauty salons are not only limited to styling hair. Almost

all Beauty Salons now are offering many different beauty services. These services include colour, perms, facial treatments, massages, manicure/pedicure, waxing, tanning and many more. Indeed, beauty salons throughout history have progressed

• COMPETITORS

• Lakmé is an Indian brand of cosmetics, owned by Unilever and run by CEO Anil Chopra. Lakme started as a 100% subsidiary of Tata Oil Mills(Tomco), part of the Tata Group; it was named after the French opera Lakmé, which itself is the French form of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, also renowned for her beauty. Indian cosmet Lakme was started in 1952, famously because the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, was concerned that Indian women were spending precious foreign exchange on beauty products, and personally requested JRD Tata to manufacture them in India.Simone Tata joined the company as director, and went on to become its chairman. In 1996 Tata sold off their stakes in Lakmé Lever to HLL, for Rs 200 Crore (45 million US$), and went on to create Trent and Westside. Even today, when most multinational beauty products are available in India, Lakme still occupies a special place in the hearts of Indian women.

Founded in 1880 by Franz Stroher, with its headquarters inDarmstadt, Germany, the company is represented in over 150 countries. It directly owns three business divisions - Professional, Consumer, Cosmetics and Fragrances. In 2003 Procter & Gamble acquired a controlling interest in Wella AG

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

• Keeping in view the Salon Market in INDIA which is very broad and becoming Competitive day by day, we decided to study the current scenario of the market.

• DATA COLLECTION

• The following techniques were adopted for data collection :

• PRIMARY DATA

• Primary data was collected through face to face interviews while filling up questionnaires. (100 RESPONDENTS)

• SECONDARY DATA

• Relevant information was gathered from magazines, newspapers and project reports that formed the secondary data.

• COMMUNICATION APPROACH

• Face to face interviews was taken as the communication approach since it is a better method in cases where slight probing is required

SAMPLING

• SAMPLE SIZE

• A sample size of 104 customer was chosen, but due to incompletely filled questionnaires and unwillingness and carelessness on the part of the respondents, we were forced to reduce the sample size to 100. This sample size was based upon time and affordability approach.

• SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

• Disproportionate stratified random sampling technique has been used in sampling due to the following reasons :

• 1. It provides information about parts of the universe.

• 2. It provides help in gaining precision through stratification.

Questionnaire Design

• The questionnaire used was a printed, well structured formalized schedule to obtain and record specified and relevant information with fair accuracy and completeness.

• The questioning process was face to face interviews and the questionnaire was designed in such a way that it could be understood and answered easily by the respondents. The questionnaire contained both close and open ended questions. The close ended questions were dichotomous and multiple choice in nature. Since some of the questions were probing in nature and required answers on the basis of memory of the respondent. In such type of questions there is a risk that the respondents will answer whatever comes to their minds, thereby reducing the impact of the study. Keeping these considerations in mind, firstly the period of time in which respondents were asked to respond was reduced, since it has been found that the longer the reporting period, the less accurate the reporting.

• Secondly, to help respondents to think deeper and clearly more questions in a way that stimulated association, thereby assisting the recall process about the event.

METHDOLOGY

• Survey Method

• I have chosen the exploratory research method for the research. In this method all the questions are close ended. Except for few questions that needed to be known as in question 10 of asking the satisfaction and dissatisfaction level and know their problems with respect to the brand they have used. The options in the form of yes or no, Ranking & choosing one alternative out of various alternatives, I could not take the open-ended questions in the Questionnaire because of time constraint. The time given for this research is very short to analyze the survey in Depth. The number of question related to consumer behaviour research is 16. Out of which 4 Related to personal details.

• · Sample size: 100

• · SRSWR

• · Sex ratio: 1:1

• · The studies were conducted in localities

• · Mainly Students were covered and 10 % others considered for the study.[College/school/Univ./inst./housewives]

• · Sample coverage 50 male and 50 girls

• Other questions were asked about the personalities of the salon products with the brand image they perceive.

Factors concering choose a salon

• Services

• Products

• Staff

• Ambience

• Cleanliness & hygiene

. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

• To study the current salon market of Tri-city.

• To analyze the relationship b/w a specific brand & its buying behavior

• To assess whether discounts/promotional offers influencing the buying behavior of the customer

• To study the impact of quality of service on the consumer buying behavior

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY The probable limitations of this study are as under :

1. The first and foremost limitations was time constraint which was only one months, but still efforts have been made to put the picture as clear and candid as possible.

2. Samples were randomly selected as per convenience so error is bound to creep in the observation.

3. The conservative attitude of the respondents was a limiting factor in gaining information

How To Connect Two Computers with Lan..

March 27, 2014 Posted by Knowledge Bite Tutorial No comments

This will let you share files and folders, printers, play network games, etc...
Steps

Connect the two computers together either with a Crossover cable or a Hub/Switch to the ethernet card in your computer.
Set the IP address on both computers. Goto Start > Control Panel > Network Connections (choose switch to classic view if you cannot see network connections)
Look for your Local Area Connection ethernet adapter, right-click and choose properties.
Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and choose properties.
Setup the IP as 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on the first computer and 192.168.1.2 on the second with the same subnet mask.
Choose OK then OK/close again.

Tips
*To share your files, right click on any folder and choose Sharing to make them shared.
* You can also do this with your printers to be able to print from one computer while the printer is connected to the other.

Things You'll Need
* A Crossover cable. This a Cat5 Ethernet Cable that the wires have been switched around to allow two computer only to talk to each other
* OR, you can purchase a switch/hub with two Standard "Straight-Through" Ethernet Cables
* Check to see if your computer has an Ethernet Adapter in the back of the computer. Most new computers have this. You can tell by the documentation from the computer or by looking at the back of the computer. It looks like a phone jack, but larger.

from any (non-member) function. See access control, protected, and private.
Queue: Abstract data type in which insertion occurs at one end and deletion occurs at other end.
RAM (Random-Access Memory): This is the memory where the software resides while it is running along with the data it is using. RAM is used by both OS and application software.
Refresh Rate: Refresh rate is defined as the rate at which picture is again drawn on the monitor. It is measured in cycles per second.
Register: C++ keyword used as a hint to the compiler that a particular local variable
should be placed in a machine register.
Register address: A register address is a binary number of k bits that specifies the operands residing in register.
Rear: Part of queue where insertion operation occurs.
Real time system: It is acomputer system that requires not only that the computer results be”corrct”but also that the results be produces within the specified deadline.
Record: A collection of aggregates or related items of data treated as a unit.
Redundancy: A situation in which two or more pieces of information in a file are the same.
Recursion function: When function calls itself repeat until some specific condition is met, and then process is called recursion
Reflection: It is the process of generating a symmetric image of the object in a direction opposite to same object.
Rollback: It defines that all the changes are aborted and the database is rolled back to the previous consistent state if the database.
ROM (Read-Only Memory): A form of data storage. This type of memory keeps the saved data even if the device power is off. The data on the ROM can be loaded into the RAM if needed.
Rotation: Rotation is an important property of graphics system, it causes the viewer to see an object from different directions.
Route: Route in networking refers to a logic path within network in which a packet is travelling through from a sender to a receiver.
Remote login: An interactive connection from your desktop computer over a network or telephone lines to a computer in another location (remote site).
Relocation: Adjusting the values of the address dependent locations like address constant, according to the change in the memory locations
Return: C++ keyword used for returning values from a function.
Scheduler: It is a special DBMS program that establishes the order in which the
operations within concurrent transactions are executed.
Scope: The region of a program where a name has visibility.
Scaling: Scaling transformation allows an object change by expanding or contracting its dimension i.e. it is a process of expanding or compressing the dimensions of the object.
Semaphore: An integer counter and an associated thread-wait queue. When initialized, the semaphore counter receives a user-defined positive or null value.
Sequential access: It is a access method in which information is processed in order, one record after the other.
Serial port: An interface on a computer that supports transmission of a single bit at a time; can be used for connecting almost any type of external device including a mouse, a modem, or a printer.
Source code: A program written either in mnemonics of an assembly language or in English like statements of high level language.
Sorting: Arranging elements in some order.
Sizeof: C++ keyword for taking the size of an object or type.
Spool: A spool is a buffer that holds output for a device, such as printer that cannot accept interleaved data streams.
SLIP : Serial Line Interface Protocol. Along with the PPP, a protocol that can be used with a dialup connection to an ISP to complete a TCP/IP Internet connection.
Stack: A group of memory locations in the R/W memory that is used for temporary storage of binary information during the execution of the program.
Static variable: As the name suggest the value of the static variable persists until the end of the programme. A variable can be use until declaring the keyword static. Static variable internal type or external type depends upon the declaration.
Static: A Java programming language keyword used to define a variable as a class variable. Classes maintain one copy of class variables regardless of how many instances exist of that class. "static" can also be used to define a method as a class method. Class methods are invoked by the class instead of a specific instance, and can only operate on class variables.
Subroutine: A group of instructions that performs a subtask of repeated occurrence.
This - C++ keyword used in a member function to point at the object currently
being operated on.
Thread: The basic unit of program execution. A process can have several threads running concurrently, each performing a different job, such as waiting for events or performing a time-consuming job that the program doesn't need to complete before going on. When a thread has finished its job, the thread is suspended or destroyed.

Variable: A measurable quantity that has a definite numerical value at every instant.
View port: Sometimes, we want to display different portions of image in different regions of screen. A rectangular region of display device where contents of windows are displayed is called viewport.
Virtual function: A member function whose interpretation when called depends
on the type of the object for which it is called; a function for an object
of a derived class will override a function of its base class.
Void: A Java programming language keyword used in method declarations to specify that the method does not return any value. "void" can also be used as a non functional statement.
WAN: A wide area network usually links buildings, cities or countries.
Web Server: A server is a computer that delivers services or information to other computers. In web terms: A server that delivers web content to web browsers.
