AudubonTree Project includes:
- Advertising
- Network
- Web Presence
- Database
Advertising:
I assisted AudubonTree Service with their advertising using
computer graphic tools to generate a corporate logo used on mailing
materials, brochures, website, invoices, financial statements, etc.
Also, I assisted in creation of copy for the website; including site
layout, site graphics, description of services, an adapted mission
statement, and organization of contact and search facilities.
Network:
To allow shared access, I setup an intranet for the office, using
fast-ethernet cards, an eight-port 10/100mps hub facilitating common
user access to the database and file-sharing. The machines are
arranged in a peer-to-peer network, using Microsoft NetBEUI
protocol. The client machine assigned as the dial-up server for
dial-up access maintains the database (allowing remote access).
Web Presence:
www.audubontree.com
I registered the company domain name with InterNIC, an ISP, and
registered it with Net Center (and other search indexes). In
addition, I set up a web business service to host the website, route
company email, and allow CGI scripting. The site employs a PERL
script using public domain libraries to activate and send form
information as email to AudubonTree, and utilizes htdig (an
indexing system from SDSU) to search the site.
Microsoft Access 2000 Database
Application:
The central focus of the project is the database application; with
24 forms, 16 tables, 28 queries, and 5 reports. The application
collects and organizes information for AudubonTree employees,
clients, equipment, maintainance, suppliers, products,
estimates/jobs, and marketing contact history/projection. Attention
is paid to user-interface, organization, and data-entry sequence.
