Tell Me about yourself
The future depends on what we do in the present - Mahatma Gandhi
Born and brought up in Patna, Bihar, I studied in a convent school and it was around my
ninth grade where I developed a keen interest in Internet and Technology. Following my
interest, I pursued my Bachelors in Computer Application from men’s College, Patna. As
part of my curriculum, I particularly found the subjects of Computer Networks and
Design of Algorithms highly intriguing, as these subjects created in me a passion to
study the computer related courses in much more detail.
Alongside, I also started preparing for my Master of Computer Application course.
Besides my curriculum, I participated in various events pertaining to art and culture
held in my college. Talking about my profession, now I am qualified computer
programmer where I work on various programming languages such as C, Java, PHP,
JavaScript, C++, Python, Shell, Ruby, Objective-C and C#. Besides my work and
academic, I am extremely passionate about playing Guitar, which is a great stress-
buster for me.
I am very much greatful to my esteem college, faculty and supported my current
company which developed myself to effective quality professional.
That's all about myself, my quote is "Life is all about grabbing the opportunity". thank
you so much for giving me the opportunity to introduce me.

Introduction
• What is Project?
•A project is a temporary effort to create a unique product or
service. Projects usually include constraints and risks regarding cost,
schedule or performance outcome..
The future depends on what we do in the present - Mahatma Gandhi

Project Overview
• Domain choice of the project ?
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of
strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.-Vince Lambardi
8. 18 June 2019 8
Introduction
• Domain v/s Platform ?
Domain Platform
It is a field study that
defines a set of common
requirement Terminology
and functionality for any
software program
constructed to solve a
problem in the area of
computer programming.
EX: PLM, CRM, RETAIL
A platform is a “Blue print for
the evolution of popular
software or specification.”
It depends a standard around
which a system can be
developed.
EX: Java platform
.Net platform

Service & Product Company
•
People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.-Dale
Carnegie
“Service Based Companies are driven by customer needs. They offer services and
solutions as per customer requirements. Features of these type of companies:-
1. High pressure work environment.
2. Completing deadline is most.
3. Person should be multitasking.
4. Should be willing to become a victim of office politics for better appraisal from senior.
5. Less scope of R&D. But would be able to learn new things a lot.
Product Based Companies are driven by an idea to help different customers. Here the
main focus would be what should i do to make my product better.
Features of these type of companies are:-
1. Cool and healthy environment.
2. Better flow of thoughts. Help an individual to think out of the box.
3. Person need not be multitasker. Instead be good at its respective field.
4. Pressure is there but comparative less.
5. More job satisfaction as mind will be less stressful.

Version Management
•These are the problems source code management is intended to solve.
Effectively it is a database for source code that eases the problems of
– Multiple people in many places working on the same code
– Retrieving old versions of files
– Keeping logs about what changed in a file
– Integrating changed code
– Generating release builds
Version Management also called Version Control or Revision Control, is a means to
effectively track and control changes to a collection of related entities. The term
"Versioning" is also sometimes used but the difference is that "Versioning" typically
refers to when someone manually applies a version number or label to something
for easier communication or simplification such as "draft", "beta", or "1.0". In the
context of an information solution version control is most often used to track and control
changes to source code.
It is a very important tool within an overall life cycle management strategy for
information solutions.
18. 18 June 2019 18
Version Management
•Centralized Version Control
A single server holds the code base Clients access the server by means of check-
in/check-outs
Examples include CVS, Subversion, Visual Source Safe.
Advantages: Easier to maintain a single server.
Disadvantages: Single point of failure.
Distributed Version Control
Each client (essentially) holds a complete copy of the code base.
Code is shared between clients by push/pulls
Example Git
Advantages: Many operations cheaper. No single point of failure
Disadvantages: A bit more complicated!
19. 18 June 2019 19
Version Management: GIT
•o GIT is a Distributed Version Control System.
oIt is a content addressable file system, used to track directory trees.
oIt handles all the things like merging of source code and maintaining versions.
oGIT is optimized for Complex Merges and Fast.
oIt follows Trunk Base Development.
oIt allows for code collaboration with anyone online.
oUsers keep entire code and history on their location machines
oUsers can make any changes without internet access
Linus uses BitKeeper to manage Linux code
o In 2005, BitKeeper suddenly became unavailable.
o Linus decided to create a tool with Distributed Source Management System.
o Linus Torvalds developed GIT in June 2005.

Terminology
•
o DIRECTORY : A folder is used for storing multiple files.
o REPOSITORY : A collection of all the files and their history organized in
folders, branches, tags.
o CLONE : Act of copying a repository from a remote server.
o BRANCH : It is a pointer to a commit(save the files).
o MERGE : Combination of one or more branches into the current branch.
o ORIGIN : The default name of the remote repository
o MASTER : It is just another branch, but is the default one which gets created.
o STAGE FILES : These are the files we have told GIT that are ready to committed.
o SNAPSHOT : In general is just the "entity" that GIT uses to store its data.
o INTEGRATORS : It can review and bring changes to reference code
asynchronously to central repository.
