Computer have arrived and they have already made them indispensible for us. But yet, the work on developing a new generation computers is on since 1985. The fifth generation computers are expected to make entry with the drawing of the next century. Besides obeying capacity, these computers would have power to think, to feel, to judge things and make decisions accordingly. Present computers have no feelings, no instincts, no intuition, no heart or soul. They are only as good as man makes use of them.
Some advanced countries like Japan and USA have been directing their resources in bringing the era of the Fifth Generation Computers, which would apart from high processing power and large storage capacity or memory, would have very natural input/output devices, such as, human languages, written statements or a pattern or picture. A new field of computer science called as the Artificial Intelligence(AI) has been developed for use in the new computer architecture to ensure that the computers behave like human beings. These computers would be working on (Knowledge Information Processing System) instead of data processing by DIPS/LIPS ( Data or Logic Information Processing System). The currently used high level languages will be obsolete. New low level languages like PROLOG ( PROgramming for LOGic), LISP (LISt processor), Small Talk etc. along with highly sophisticated operating system will be used for these computers.
The dream for manufacturing a human-like computer has not yet been realised. But unendind researches are going on for bringing into daylight computers which will fall under Fifth Generation.
The functioning of a computer depends on the successful interaction between hardware and software.
Hardware of a computer is a term which refers to the component physical parts of a computer, including its peripheral. Peripheral stands for all units that are connected to CPU including input/output and secondary storage devices.
Thus the following parts constitute the hardware system of a computer:
1. Processinf unit: CPU, ALU, ROM, RAM, Mother board, Chips, electronic switches with circuit, Optical and Magnetic Ink Character Reader Cards like MGA, CGA, MPEG etc.
2. Auxiliary Storage devices: Magnetic tape, Floppy disk, hard disk, semiconductor memory, magnetic core memory, microcomputer memory.
3. Input devices: Key-board, Mouse, Light pen.
4. Output devices: VDU, CRT, Printers ( Dot- matrix, daisy wheel), plotters.
5. Connecting switches and wires (cable), Voltage stabilizers.
A computer Engineer assembles the hardware components to manufacture a computer. Tecnological developments have caused a rapidly growing state of changes in computer hardware. Computer architecture is a term used to refer to the layout of computer hardware.

KNOWING YOUR SOFTWARE
Ever since the invention of the computer, there has been computer software to go with it. But what is 'Software'? Every electronic device has software. It is the programming embedded into the device, and it is the rules and steps the device always follows. Yes, every electronic device has software built into it. A GPS device has software that tells it to follow voice instructions; an electric guitar has software that recognizes when it is plugged into an audio device; electronic things have software that we can use to.....well, do basically anything with it.
The most commonly accepted use of the term 'software' is in reference to computer software, which is typically a set of instructions that defines what the computer is to do next. Software basically uses your computer resources in order to fulfill a specific task. They may be systems, or application(which are software we use to accomplish a certain task)like Photoshop or Microsoft Word. Software can be programmed to do anything your computer is capable of. For most software, there are a few minimum system requirements that have to be fulfilled. These requirements are necessary to be fulfilled because the new software will be utilizing the already present hardware and other supporting software to do its bits. Software are popular, basically because it is much easier to buy certain software you need rather than program one yourself from the ground up. Also, due to the emergence of numerous independent software developers, computer users are having a jolly good time choosing between ones with similar advantages.

CAD 2D-3D
If you’re interested in architecture, engineering or precision design, then bring your drawings to life with Total CAD 2D-3D.Total CAD 2D-3D delivers the tools you need to design and draft practically anything, from the simple to the complex, from start to finish. Or in another word, a name very close to the heart of all engineers,designers, drafts and the like is AutoCAD. Such software are essential to technical professionals, mainly because of two things: they save time, because most of the necessary tools are already presented, and also due to the coherency and consistency they provide. AutoCAD is CAD( Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, inc. Initially released in late 1982, AutoCAD was one of the first CAD programs to run on personal computers, notably the IBM PC. Most CAD software at the time ran on graphics terminals connected to mainframe computers or mini-computers.
This package is ideal for novice users with powerful tools, helpful features and familiar functions to easily make custom designs. AutoCAD literally brought the power to the users' fingers. In earlier releases, AutoCAD used primitive entities - such as lines, polylines, circle, arcs, and text - as the foundation for more complex objects. Since the mid-1990s, the software had developed vastly, and now supports customs objects through its C++ API. Modern AutoCAD includes a full set of basic solid modeling and 3D tools. Today, AutoCAD runs exclusively on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. Versions for Unix and Mac OS were released in the 1980s and 1990s, but these were later dropped. 27 years ago, nearly every drawing produced in the world was done with pencil or ink on paper. Minor changes meant erasing and redrawing while major changes often meant recreating the drawing from the scratch. CAd has fundamentally changed the way design is done.
CAD programs use the principles and elements of geometry to create objects. If too many years have passed since your school geometry lessons, then let Total CAD™ 2D-3D show you how to easily import drawings! It comes complete with over 2000 detailed CAD symbols, so you’ll have the freedom to create the design you want, with helpful tips to guide you as you go.

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
Cutting, pasting, enlarging, filling, selecting, blurring, burning - you name it, and Photoshop can do it. If you know how to, that is. Presenting a wide range of tools for any sort of Photo editing, Photoshop is easy to use and intensely complicated at the same time. Today, Adobe Photoshop has become the image editor of choice for graphics professionals. Few designers would argue that its position as the primary bitmap editing tools is rightly at the top of the pile, but this does not mean that there are no other choices for designers who can't, or don't want to, use Photochop.
Perhaps the only software ever to generate its own verb form, Photoshop is the flagship product of Adobe systems. Released in 1990 exclusively to Macintosh, it was the result of three years of development by a University of Macintosh PhD student named Thomas Knoll, who had begun working on it in 1987. The most significant Photoshop upgrade to date is considered to be Photoshop Version 3. Can you guess what this introduced ? Layers perhaps the single most important aspect of Photoshop development, and every Photoshopper's best friend.
Photoshop has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring. The .PSD( Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text , alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and uotone settings. Photoshop's popularity means that the Psd format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software. The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effect services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and web. Among its strong features, Photoshop can utilize the color models RGB, lab, CMYK, grayscale, binary bitmap, and duotone. It also has ability to read and write raster and vector image formats such as .EPS, .PNG, .GIF, .JPEG, and fireworks.

10 TOP DO'S AND DON'TS FOR YOUR IT CAREER
1.DO PLAN AND EXECUTE YOUR CAREER IN A PROACTIVE MANNER:
It is not enough to work or to decide that you want a career in IT. Set your career goals and determine the steps you should take to realise your goals. Don't approach your career in an unplanned manner by simply hoping for the best. Askyourself these questions: where are you? waht are your goals? how are you progressing, and how do you want to progress? take an honest look at your situation and take control. review trends in the It industry and your needs. The plan should be based on information gathered from credible sources. Be realistic by setting attainable goals.And make sure you execute the plan.
2. DON'T FOCUS ON IT CAREER AND TRENDS:
New products and fads are the order of the day in the IT industry, especially in the career sector. Examples are new certificated and the latest taining programmes. IT professionals need to observe these trends to remain relevant. However, though training and certification have their uses, they should not be your focus. training, formula education and certification should not be pursued without regard to your career goals. Use them as stepping-stones to where you're going. Employ training certification or other career tools if and when they align with your career- goals short and long-term. It doesn't make sense to aim for a 'hot' certification that won't help your career growth.
3. DO HAVE A PASSION FOR IT:
Do you enjoy what you do in IT? An IT career is just like choosing any other career. If you have no talent for it and no interest in it, don't bother with it. It is not for everyone. The course, degree or certification you take is of no effect if you are not excited about what you do. You will find it easy to motivate yourself when you enjoywhat you do. When you have a passion for IT, you find it easy to learn and make yourself better at what you do. Consider the nature of the job, stress factor and work environment, as well as work requirement. You must love what you do to reach high levels of achievement.
4. DON'T BUILD YOUR CAREER ON UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS:
The'get rich quick' belief is the most unrealistic expectation of many who opt for It careers. If money is your sole aim, you won't last under the intense workload and incredible ate of change. IT is professionally and financially rewarding if you focus on acquiring practical skills and building your career rather than on immediate benefits.
Also, don't confuse training and certification with a career. Education and certification will gave you skills and knowledge, but you still need experience and attitude. Certification, training and experience have different roles to play. It is your responsibility to know which from of expertise you require as you progress on your career path.
5. DO FOCUS ON GAINING USEFUL EXPERIENCE:
There's no substitite for the experience of solving real world problems. Much of the skills and knowledge of an IT professional is gained through practical experience. However, experience is not just about the number of years you've spent on the job. It is about job effectiveness and capability. The quality of your experience is reflected in your ability to provide solutions quickly and creatively. Sometimes you may need to volunteer or take less what you feel you deserve to get the experience you need.
6.DON'T BURN BRIDGES:
When you change jobs, don't burn bridges you might need tomorrow. Despite any misgivings you might have, make sure you are learning on a positive note. Be professional in handling issues such as notice of disengagement, hand-over of work and relation with your colleagues and ex-employer. You never know where your paths might cross in the future. It alsohelps to build up good references from ex-employers. You've also able to build your own personal network fo individuals on whom you can rely for advice, job leads, tecnical assistance and other helpful support.
7.DO DEVELOP SOFT SKILLS:
You may need to bring one or more of the following soft skills to the table: communication skills teamwork skills, organisational skills, leadership skills, sales skills, presentation skills and bussiness skills. Can you motivate teammates to perform? Do you interact succesfully with customers? Do you understand the business issues driving the IT solution you provide? Hoe do you give value(tech and non-tech) to your clients and employers?
8. DON'T RUN FROM CHALLENGES:
Rather than running from challenges you should look for ways in which the challenges will make you a better IT professional. Tackling challenges requires resourcefulness on your part. You may need to do the research and interact with more experienced colleagues. Often challenges can offer you the highest growth potential. The more you can do, the more valuable you are. The challenges might be an oppurtunity to develop you soft skills or it might be an oppurtunity to conquer a difficult area and carve a niche for yourself.
9.DO KEEP ON LEARNING:
Knowledge and experience come first in the IT industry. What is the level of your expertise with current tecnologies and your knowledge of new and upcoming technologies that might affect your career? Lifelong learning is essential for IT professionals. What is in demand today may be obsolete tomorrow, especially in IT. Stay current with the latest trends through seminars, training, e-mail newletter and, of course, the web. But note that you must have the willingness to learn.
10.DON'T NEGLECT PROFESSIONALISM:
Professionalism has to do with your attitude to your job, employer, colleagues, clients and society. A bad attitude can render your skills, knowledge and experience ineffective. You need to make professionalism a habit by imbibing the values of honesty, fairness, tolerance, repect for others, ethics, politness and integrity. Professionalism is about the total package of soft skills, tech skills and attitute. Be dependable, be supportive and perform above expectations.
Just as there is no mystery to developing your career, there is also no magic formula. The aim of these do's and don'ts is to make you aware of the things you should and you shouldn't do so that you can avoid costly career mistakes.

MS. ACCESS
Ms. Access is one of the most powerful and flexible Database Management System (DBMS). By using this software,you can:
> Enter data directly into a Database or import it from another program.
> Sort, index and organize the data as per your requirement.
> Quickly create reports and mailing labels, using all or part of your data.
> Make customized data entry forms that simplify the way less experienced computer users
enter new information in the Database.
> Run queries that extract subsets of your data based on certain conditions.
Ms. Access is flexible Database program because it can be used for both simple and complex Database projects. It also has a relational Database feature, in which one can define relationships between diferent types of information so that you can get them together.
In other words, it is a system that allows creating, designing and working with Database. Ms. Access provides us with a set of powerful tools for defining, entering, managing, manipulating and resulting data.
WHAT IS DATABASE?
Database is an organized collection of data or related information that are shared and used for multiple purposes, for ex: a telephone directory, students records, result sheets, population census etc.
The information are stored in such an organized way that they may have easy access as per our requirement. Hence a Database is an organized collection of data in easily accessible form, which are shared and used for multiple purposes as per required.
There are two types of Database:
1. Conventional Database and
2. Computerized Database.
There is a difference between these two Database. In Computerized Database, we can store, find, manage, share and manipulate the data in easier way. But in case of Conventional Database, it is not possible. After entering any information in Conventional Database, we cannot change it. Telephone directory, Address Book is the examples of Conventional Database. Ms. Access is one of the examples of Computerized Database.
DATA ORGANIZATION IN ACCESS:
In Access, you first need to create a Database file. That file holds everything you create for that Database-not only the data, but also the customized forms, reports and indexes. In comparison to others, the organization of data is easier in Access, Access allows user to work with following features in order to organize the data.
1. Table
2. Queries
3. Forms
4. Reports
5. Macro
6. modules
TABLES:
The heart of each Database is its tables. Table is an element, which holds main information. A table looks like a spreadsheet and used to store the main data. By using this table features, the information is stored in two ways which is Row wise and the another one is Column wise.
Access stores each Databaseentry in its own row. The information stored in rows is refereed as Record. Each record is a collection of information. The information stored along columns are called field. Each type of record heading is kept in its own column.
QUERIES:
A query is a way of retrieving and editing information in accordance to the conditions asked. Many users are afraid of queries because of the technical terms associated with them, such as values, criteria and masks. But there is no need to be wary, you can create and use a simple query.
FORMS:
All the data you enter into Database ends up in Table for storage. You enter any information directly into the table. But is a little bit difficult to do so. Most usersfind it easier to create special onscreen form in which to enter the data. This special screen is called Form. Form facilitates to make modification, addition the data directly into the table. It also helps user to view the table in a user- defined manner.
REPORTS:
While forms are designed to be used onscreen, reports are designed to be printed. Reports are specially formatted collections of data, organized according to your specifications for summarizing and printing.
MACROS:
Macros are used to perform one or more Database action automatically.
MODULES:
It is another type of element in Access. It is a program you write using Visual Basic ( a programming language used to create Office Software Package) used to automate and customize Database functions.

Dreamweaver MX:
In the early days of web design, the code used to create web pages (HTML) was input manually. It is time-consuming business to create complicated WebPages; and designers should know vast amount of tags(codes).
To override this problem, Web Progmmer developed WYSIWYG type program. That means Whta You See Is What You Get. By using this type, people can design their own WebPages in a similar way to a word processing or Desktop Publishing program: What you layout on the screen is what the user will seeon their computer. People don't have to know anyone HTML code while designing but it is still present and generated automatically in the background. If you have knowledge of HTML, then you can edit it manually if you desire.
Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG web-designing program that provides an effective interface for quickly creating high quality WebPages. It contains a range of powerful tools for incorporating the latest web design elements into sites to give them a highly professional look.
Dreamweaver MX:
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is a professional HTML editor for designing, coding, and developing websites, web pages, web applications. Whether you enjoy the control of hand-coding HTML or prefer to work in a visual editing enviroment, Dreamweaver provides you with helpful tools to enchance your web creation experience.
The visual editing features in Dreamweaver let you quickly create pages without writing a line of
code. If you prefer to code by hand, however, Dreamweaver also includes many coding-related tools and features. And Dreamweaver helps you to build dynamic database-backed web application using server languages such as Asp, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion Markup Language(CFML, JSP, and PHP.
WHAT IS A WEB APPLICATION?
A web application is a website that contains pages stored on a web server with partly or entirely
undetermined content. The final content of a page is determined only when the user requests a page from the web server. Because the final content of the page varies from request to request based on the user's actions, this kind of a page is called a dynamic page.
A web application is a collection of regular and dynamic web paged. A regular web page is one
that does not change when a user requests it: the web server sends the page to the requesting web browser without modifying it. In contrast, a dynamic web page is modified by the server before it is sent to the requesting browser. The changing nature of the page is why it's called dynamic.
PROCESSING REGULAR WEB PAGES:
A regular website comprises a set of related HTML pages and files hosted on a computer running a web server.
A web server is doftware that serves web pages in response to requests from web browsers. A page request is generated when a user clicks a link on a web page, chooses a bookmark in a browser, or enters a URL in a browser's Address text box and clicks Go.
The final content of a regular web page is determined by the page designer and doesn't change
when the page is requested. Here's an example:
About Nepal...
Nepal
One of the beautiful countries in the world.
Every line of the page's HTML code is written by the designer before the page is placed on the server.Because the HTML doesn't change once it's on the server, this kind of page is called a static page.
Note: Strictly speaking, a "static" page may not be static at all. For example, a rollover image or
a Flash movie can make a static page come alive. However, this help system refers to a page as static if it is sent to the browser without modifications.
When the web server receives a request for a static page, the server reads the request, finds the
page, and sends it to the requesting browser, as shown in the following figure:
Steps 1: Web browser request static page.
Steps 2: Web server finds page.
Steps 3: Webserver sends page to requesting browser.
In the case of web application, sertain lines of code are undetermined when the user requests the page. These lines must be determined by some mechanism before the page can be sent to the browser. The mechanism is discussed in the following section.
PROCESSING DYNAMIC PAGES:
When a web server receives a request fr a regular web page, the server sends the page to the requesting browser. But, the web server reacts differently when it receives a request for a dynamic page: it passes the page to special software extention responsible for finishing the page. This special software is called an application server.
The application server reads the code on the page, finishes the page according to the instructions
in the code, and then removes the code on from the page. The result is a static page that the application server passes back to the web server, which then sends the page to the requesting browser. All the browser gets when the page arrives is pure HTML. Here's a view of the process:
Step 1: Web browser requests the dynamic page.
Step 2: Web server finds page and passes it to application server.
Step 3: Application server scans page for instruction and finishes page.
Step 4: Application server passes finished page back to web server.
Step 5: Web server sends finished page to requesting browser.
ACCESSING A DATABASE:
An application server lets you work with server-side resources such as databases. For example, a dynamic page may instruct the application server to extract data from a database and insert it to the page's HTML. For more information: The instruction to extract data from a database is called a data query. A query consists of search criteria expressed in a database language called SQL (Structured Query Language). The SQL query is written into the page's server-side scripts or tags.
An application server cannot communicate directly with a database because the database's proprietary format renders the data undecipherable in much the same way that a Word document opened in Notepad is undecipherable. The application server can communicate only through the intermediary of a database driver. A database driver is software that acts like an interpreter between the application server and the data used in the dynamic page.
Here's a simple database query written in SQL:
SELECT lastname, firstname, fitpoints FROM employess
This statements creates a three-column recordset and fills it with rows containing the last name,
first name, and fitness points of all employees in the database.
Here's an illustration of the process of querying a database and returning data to the browser:
You can use almost any database with your web application, as long as you have the appropriate
database driver for it.
If you plan to build small low-cost application, you can use a file-based databse, such as one created in Microsoft Access. If you plan to build robust, business-critical application, you can use a server-based database, such as one created in Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle 9i, or My SQL.
If your database is located on a system other then your web server, make sure you have a fast
connection between the two systems so that your web application can operate quickly and efficiently.
Step 1: Web browser request dynamic page.
Step 2: Webserver finds page and passes it to application server.
Step 3: Application server scanspage for instructions.
Step 4: Application server sends query to database driver.
Step 5: Driver executes the query against the database.
Step 6: Recordset is returned to driver.
Step 7: Driver passes recordset to application server.
Step 8: Application server inserts data in page, then passes the page to the web server.
Step 9: Web server sends finished page to requesting browser.
CREATING YOUR FIRST WEBSITE IN DREAMWEAVER:
Set up a local site:
The mostcommon approach to creating a website using Dreamweaver is to create and edit pages on your local, and then upload copies of those pages to a remote web server to make them publicly available. It's possible to use Dreamweaver in other ways (such as running a web server on your local computer, or uploading files to a staging server, or using a mounted disk as if it were your local disk), but the lessons in this guide assume that you're working locally and then uploading to a remote server.
. A website: a set of pages on a server, to be viewed by a visitor to the site using a web browser.
. A remote site: the files on the server that make up a website, from your ( the author's) point of
view rather then a visitor's point of view.
. A local site: the files on your local disk that correspond to the files in the remote site. You
edit the files on your local disk, then upload them to the remote site.
. A Dreamweaver site defination: a set of defining characteristics for a local site, plus information on how the local site corresponds to remote site.
Normally, you would start creating a website by planning it: figuring out how many pages to create, what content appears on each page, and how the pages are connected to each other.
You'll create a site definition using the Site Definition dialog box. You can fill in this dialog box
in either of two views: Basic or Advanced. The Basic approach guides you through site setup step by step. If you'd rather edit site information without guidance, you can click the Advanced tab at any time.
The following procedure describes how to set options in Basic version of the dialog box, which
is also known as the Site Definition Wizard.
To define a site:
1. Choose Site > Manage Sites.
2. Choose New - Site
The Site Definition dialog box appears.
3. If the dialog box is showing the Advanced tab, click Basic. The first screen of the
Site Definition Wizard appears, asking you to enter a name of your site.
4. In the text box, enter a name to identify the site wihtin Dreamweaver. The name can be anything
you want. For example, you could name the site About Pokhara.
5. Click Next to proceed to the next step. The next screen of the wizard appears, asking if you
want to work with a server technology.
6. Select the No option to indicate that for now, this site is a static site, with no dynamic pages.
7. Click Next to proceed to the next step. The next screen of the wizard appears, asking how you
want to work with your files.
8. Select the option labeled "Edit local copies on my machine, then upload to server when ready(recommended)."
9. The text box allows you to specify a folder on your local disk where Dreamweaver should store the
local version of the site's files. Its easier to specify an accurate folder name if you browse
to the folder rather than typing the path, so click the folder icon next to the text box.
10.Click Next to proceed to the next step. The next screen of the wizard appears, asking how you
connect to your remote server.
11.For now choose None from the pop-up menu. Click Next to proceed to the next step. The next screen of the wizard
appears, showing a summary of your settings.
12.Click Done to finish.
13.Click Done to allow Dreamweaver to create the site cache.
The Site panel normally shows all the files and folders in your site,but right now your site doesn't contain any files or folders. When there are files in a site, the file list in the Site panel acts as a file manager, allowing you to copy, paste, delete, move, and open files just as you would on a computer desktop.
If you already have a set of local HTML files that you want to use to create a website, you can use the file browser in the Site panel to copy those files into your newly created site's folder. However, you may want to complte the lessons in this guide using the files provided with Dreamweaver before you start using your own files.
ADDING NEW PAGES:
New pages can be added directly from the Site Window (Files Tab) once a site has been created . You can also add the new pages from the Design view.
From Site Window:
1. Right click on the pre-defined Site name (About Chelsea).
2. Click on New file.
3. Type a nme for the new file like (index.htm) and open it by double clicking on the file icon.
Defining file as a homepage:
1. Choose the required the file name from the Site Window.
2. Click the right mouse button.
3. Choose set as home page and click on it.
Defining a site:
1. Go to site menu.
2. Click on Manage Sites.
Then Manage Site dialog box with various sites appears.
3. Choose required site name.
4. Click on Done.

ABOUT HYPERLINKS
Hyperlinks are shortcuts for jumping between elements on the web. A hyperlink allows the viewer to jump to another webpage, jump to another website, or launches an e-mail application.
Text, images and part of an image can be used as hyperlink an, for both elements, the cursor turns into a pointing hand when it is positioned over a hyperlink on a webpage. If you click at this point,you will be taken to the linked item.
Hyperlinks can be linked to:
Other location within the same page.
Link: #Anchor name
Note: You have to define Anchor Name at first before creating link using Insert-Invisible Tags- Named Anchor.
Other pages within the same website.
Link: xxx.html
Note: This type of link is called Document-relative link. This type of linking can be created using Modify- Make Link (CTRL+L) menu.
Other website:
Link: http://www.mail.yahoo.com
Link: http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver
Note: This type of link is called Absolute links.
E-mail links:
Link: mailto:Chelsea@ulci.com.np
HYPERLINK PROCEDURE:
1. Select required text, image or part of an image (i.e. hotspots; using map tools).
2. Type required file name to be linked at Link box inside the property bar.
Like:
Link: "xyz.htm' (in case of document_ Relative Link).
Or, Link: "#pop" Or, "xyz.htm#abc" (incase of Internal Link)
Or, Link: mailto:abc@yahoo.com (in case of E-mail Link)
Or, Link: http://www.doe.gov.np (in case of Absolute Links)
3. Press Enter Key.
LINKING TO A SPECIFIC PLACE IN A DOCUMENT:
You can use the property inspector to link to a particular section of a document by first creating
named anchors. Named anchors let you set markers in a document, which are often placed at a specific
topic or at the top of a document. You can then create links to these named anchors, which quickly
take your visitor to the specified position.
Creating a link to a named anchor is two-step process. First, create a named anchor; then create a
link to the named anchor.
To craete a named anchor:
1. In the Document window's Design view, place the insertion point where you want the named anchor.
2. Do one of the following:
. Choose Insert > Named Anchor. Or Press Control+Alt+A
. Select the common tab in the Insert bar and click the Named Anchor button.
The Named Anchor dialog box appears.
3. In the anchor Name field, type a name for the anchor.
Note: If you do not see the anchor marker, Choose View > Visual Aids > Invisible Elements.
To link to a named anchor:
1. In the Document window's Design view, select text or an image to create a link from.
2. In the Link text box of the Property inspector, type a number sign (#) and the name of the anchor.
For example:
. To link to an anchor named "top" in the current document, type #top.
. To link to an anchor named "top" in a different document in the same folder, type filename.html#top.
Note: Anchor names are case sensitive.
To link to a named anchor using the point-to-file method:
1. Open the document containing the named anchor you want.
2. In the Document window's Design view, select text or an image you want to link from. (If this is
another open document, you must switch to it.)
3. Do one of the following:
. Click the point-to-file icon to the right of the Link text box in the Property inspector and drag it to
the anchor you want to link to: either an anchor within the same document or an anchor in another
open document.
. Shift-drag in the Document window from the selected text or image to the anchor you want to link
to: either an anchor within the same document or an anchor in another open document.
Changing the document title
The title of an HTMK page helps site Visitors keep track of what they're viewing as they browse, and it
identifies the page in the visitor's history and bookmark list. If you don't title a page, the page
will appear in the browser window, bookmark list, and history list as Untitled Document.
Note: Giving the document a filename (by serving it) is not the same as giving the page a title.
To locate all untitled documents in your site, use the site > Reports command.
To change the title of a page:
1. With the document open, do one of the following:
. Select Modify > Page Properties.
. Selct View > Toolbar > Document (if it isn't a;ready selected).
2. In the Title text box, enter the title for the page and the Document window (and in the Document
toolbar, if it's showing). The filename of the page and the folder the file is saved in appears
in parentheses next to the title in the title bar. An asterisk indicates the document contains
chnages that have not yet been saved.
To override this problem, Web Progmmer developed WYSIWYG type program. That means Whta You See Is What You Get. By using this type, people can design their own WebPages in a similar way to a word processing or Desktop Publishing program: What you layout on the screen is what the user will seeon their computer. People don't have to know anyone HTML code while designing but it is still present and generated automatically in the background. If you have knowledge of HTML, then you can edit it manually if you desire.
Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG web-designing program that provides an effective interface for quickly creating high quality WebPages. It contains a range of powerful tools for incorporating the latest web design elements into sites to give them a highly professional look.
Dreamweaver MX:
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX is a professional HTML editor for designing, coding, and developing websites, web pages, web applications. Whether you enjoy the control of hand-coding HTML or prefer to work in a visual editing enviroment, Dreamweaver provides you with helpful tools to enchance your web creation experience.
The visual editing features in Dreamweaver let you quickly create pages without writing a line of
code. If you prefer to code by hand, however, Dreamweaver also includes many coding-related tools and features. And Dreamweaver helps you to build dynamic database-backed web application using server languages such as Asp, ASP.NET, Cold Fusion Markup Language(CFML, JSP, and PHP.
WHAT IS A WEB APPLICATION?
A web application is a website that contains pages stored on a web server with partly or entirely
undetermined content. The final content of a page is determined only when the user requests a page from the web server. Because the final content of the page varies from request to request based on the user's actions, this kind of a page is called a dynamic page.
A web application is a collection of regular and dynamic web paged. A regular web page is one
that does not change when a user requests it: the web server sends the page to the requesting web browser without modifying it. In contrast, a dynamic web page is modified by the server before it is sent to the requesting browser. The changing nature of the page is why it's called dynamic.
PROCESSING REGULAR WEB PAGES:
A regular website comprises a set of related HTML pages and files hosted on a computer running a web server.
A web server is doftware that serves web pages in response to requests from web browsers. A page request is generated when a user clicks a link on a web page, chooses a bookmark in a browser, or enters a URL in a browser's Address text box and clicks Go.
The final content of a regular web page is determined by the page designer and doesn't change
when the page is requested. Here's an example:
Nepal
One of the beautiful countries in the world.
Every line of the page's HTML code is written by the designer before the page is placed on the server.Because the HTML doesn't change once it's on the server, this kind of page is called a static page.
Note: Strictly speaking, a "static" page may not be static at all. For example, a rollover image or
a Flash movie can make a static page come alive. However, this help system refers to a page as static if it is sent to the browser without modifications.
When the web server receives a request for a static page, the server reads the request, finds the
