FINDINGS AND DISCUSIONS

FINDINGS:
During this period of internship,i learned so many things with regards to my field of
study. But not withstanding, i also faced so many challenges due to the fact that so many field
which i never had ideas on were mostly tested to me. I faced so many problems when carrying
out projects and excercise.
During this period, i gained some skills which will help me in every day to day project am
to do in my career. These skills are as follows;
• JavaScript
 • PHP
• implementing CSS and HTML
• Responsiveness of a wepsite
• Using XAMP
• JQuery
• Delivery and completing a project within the given time interval
• Confidence in my decisions
• Team working experience in a professional environment

DISCUSIONS:
1. Clearly defining your goals.
Clearly defining your goals and requirements will make or break your web app. It all starts with
your vision for your app. That affects everything that follows, the key requirements for an
organization-level collaborative app are different than the requirements for a fitness app or a
game.
There are few key considerations in any development process:
• Who are your intended users?
• What experince do you want to give them?
• What are your must-have design features?
• What are your technical requirements?
Once you have defined all of these things, you can start to address them.
2. UX

User experience (UX) encapsulates the reactions, perceptions, and feelings your users
experience while engaged in your application. It’s the feeling of ease and simplicity that you get
from great design. It’s also the frustration that you feel when interacting with poor design.

That’s why it’s important to think about the overall impression you want to leave on your users
before you start making detailed decisions about how to build it.
If you deliver effectively to the deeper needs of all your users providing pleasure, engagement,
and an overall emotional appeal your application can become a central part of your users’ day-
to-day lives and deliver to your business goals.

3. UI & simplistic design

User Interface (UI) design includes all the visual elements your users interact with on your web
application. It is everything that your users see on their screens and everything they click on to
guide them through the experience.

Great UI design certainly makes your application visually appealing, but it goes beyond just
simple aesthetics. The goal is to make the actual user experience simple and accessible and
usable. This means using only a targeted, purposeful selection of copy and content, making
clear the options your users have throughout the experience and ensuring information is readily
available at each step.

Intuitive UI typically involves:

Clear navigation
Engaging visuals
Easy-to-read typography
Here’s a succinct way to think about the relationship between UX design and UI design: great UI
makes it easy for your users while great UX makes it meaningful.

4. Performance and speed

No user likes slow load times. And they can have real consequences for your business. If your
application is slow, users won’t wait. They’ll leave. This is the reality of web application
development issues today. You may only get a single chance to hook a user on your product.
So, if you know that you’re building an application with a lot of content (e.g. videos), you should
outline that upfront so your developers can build a more robust application to ensure
performance. Likewise, be clear about any intentions you have to scale your application rapidly.
You don’t want your application to slow down if it makes a splash in the market or you see
periodic surges in traffic.

This kind of planning for the future will ensure your initial app launch can deliver the kind of
speed and performance you want for your early, often-critical, users. It will also mean that your
initial build will provide the foundation you need for future business growth.

5. Scalability

The challenge of scalability relates to how you want your application to develop over time. If
you want your application built right today, you’ll need to know as much as possible about what
you need it to do in the future.

Your application might include fairly lean content at launch but, a year or two in, you could be
planning a detailed, expansive content-rich experience. This is where extensibility comes in.
Extensibility is when an application is initially designed to incorporate new capabilities and
functionality in the future. This can be integrated right from the start of the development
process. If you can articulate a long-term vision for your app, it can be built to grow and evolve
over time.

Planning for scalability helps you manage different user types, handle increased traffic, and an
expansion of, for example, an ecommerce shop. Overall, it’s valuable to prioritize scalability
because it can improve your user experience, fulfill your business goals and extend the lifespan
of your application.

6. Web security threats

There are a number of things to prioritize so your application and your users are secure.

Choosing the right development infrastructure is one. Make sure that the infrastructure you
build on has enough security services and options so your developers can implement the proper
security measures for your application.
SSL certificates are a global standard security technology that enables encrypted
communication between your web browser and server. When integrated in your app, they
enhance its security and eliminate the chance it is flagged as unsecure by web browsers. SSL
certificates also help protect credit-card numbers in ecommerce transactions and other
sensitive user information like usernames, passwords and email addresses. In essence, SSL
allows for a private “conversation” just between the two intended parties and hides sensitive
information from hackers and identity thieves.

Creating robust password requirements and multi-factor authentication for your users are also
effective security measures. More complex passwords are less likely to be hacked. Multi-factor
authentication, where your users take multiple steps to confirm their identities, also gives your
application an added layer of protection.

Conclusion
There are a ton of challenges in web application design and development that you’re bound to
face with anything you build. You don’t need to have command of all this right now but there
are a few key things to keep in mind as you take your next steps:

Planning strategically, and in detail, will mitigate your toughest development challenges. This is
where you should always start. Set business goals. Then ensure everything that follows is in
service to them.
Always remember that your web application will feature a blend of design elements and build
(technical) elements. It needs to deliver to both if you want to meet your business goals. You
can’t overcome bad design with a good build, or the reverse.
Your application is for your users. Remember you are serving your own business goals by serving
your users first, last and always.
Finally, a few words about collaboration.

Make sure any partner you choose to work with on your web application can address all the
challenges we’ve noted in this article. They should be able to answer all your questions before
you sign a contract. They should have relevant expertise in house and a proven track record.
Work only with a team that understands your vision and will fully commit to bringing it to life.
 CONCLUSION
Overall internship is a really good program and recommended to my fellow friends. It
helps to enhance and develope my skills, abilities,and knowledge. It was a good experience and
memories as not only i have gained experience,but also new friends and knowledge. PEFSCOM
also is a good place to do internship since it provides numerouse benefits and advantages to
thre practical trainers.The treatment by the company was just, equitable and professional. I've
learnt from different units and people. I am greatful and thankful to my supervisor, Mr.
Ekombe Frankline Mbua and all my colleagues for the experiences and tutoring. They
also help me to handle some of my weaknesses and provided guidiance to me whenever i am in
need.I wish the internship program will be make as a core subject and i am encouraging for the
students of Software Development and Full Stack web development to grab the opportunity to
do internship as it will help us to identify your strenght abilities, weaknesses and more.

“The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in
effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives
with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.” Paul Rand. so
this is to say we should become familiar with the practice and terminology of information
system, learn how to become familiar with the techniques neccessary to access,
structure,manipulate and present data that might typically be found in an IS using
databasemanagement systems(DBMS).
