5.1 Critique your competitor

We used http://www.cinemark.com/
Rules: rating 1-5
1) unique - 5
2) easy to use and fast - 4
3) pleasing - 4
4) Motivating - 3.5
5) advertising - 4
6) learn from your website - 5

We ranked these this way because the site was unique and pleasing, it had color. It was easy to get to the other tabs such as the movies that were playing and we could get back with in a good amount of time. The website was not too motivating for people to use. It kind of seemed dull. Then on http://www.alexa.com/ we found out that the site is 67% faster than the other movie websites that are being used and that there are 896 other sites that are linked to it as well.

5.2 Extranet Diagram

extranet enables 2 or more firms to use the internet to do business through the use of VPN and firewall. This is when the client is sending for information from the server and then the server transmits it trough the VPN and the firewall as well.

5.3 Intanet Diagram

intranet is when you are taking something within the company. like an employee, and giving them the access to schedules and paychecks. VPN is what ensures the secured information, basically it is what encrypts the information. firewall is what we call authentic because it is used to let us know that the employee loging in is actually the right person. , clients are on the outside and the inside, they are the ones that are using the information to get to the schedule so they know when they are going to work.The server is what is being used to get the info from the outside employee and then is related to the client on the inside and internet is what we are using as the communication.

4.3 Packing-switching technology

the client is A and B while the server is C and D. The client is getting information from the server. IP address is where all the information is going and IP datagram is the data packet that conforms to the IP specifications. packets is what holds the information and concurrent data transmission is the problems that the packet-switching technology is taking care of and the TCP is what breaks the information into packets and the IP is what forwards packets from node to node also known as the routers. Packet-Switching Technology is how the information is broklen down into different packages and the distributed to the apropraite places.

4.2 Basic Network


server is the place that is going to provide the service to the client who is looking for the information. The transmission medium is when the client request information that has to come from the receiver. protocols are the rules that have to be set and followed. digitizing is when you convert information into bits,  wireless media comes from many devices such as blue tooth and GPS. cable median is made up of many wires that connect computers to  and bandwidth is transmission capacity.

4.4 ERD

Entity, attribute, attribute types, record, data types, database tables and relatiosnhips.
The enity is the tables. Attribute are the fields in the table and the information that is in that table are called the attribute types. A record makes up a row in the table of information. The database tables are each entity in the dadtabse so here it is the customer, invoice and product that will be in the database. And then the relatiosnhips that are here is the customer and the product come together as the invoice and they make up the keys for each and then the quantity the customer is getting.

4.1 IFS H/W infrastructure



In this imagine we are seeing how the computer transfer the data we enter into the language it understands. The input technologies that being inputed are the letters that spell out HELLO. The processing technologies is being used when the data that is being entered is being transfered over to the output. So by using the keyboard to type in Hello we are able to see it on the screen by the processing technologies. The output technologies are what is for the data to be usable. The machine language is the only thing that the computer can understand and that is on and off or 1 and 0. The bits are one number that is in the set of bytes. So it takes 8 buts to make a byte. And in the picture that is all the 1 and 0's that make up one letter. The ACSII binary code is also the 8 bits that are seen in the image. The ALU is where the computer does the math information, the CPU is the central processing unit and the control unit is the in CPU.
