CHAPTER II: INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY
2.1. Introduction to IT Industry
Information Technology (IT) refers to the application of computers to manage
information that includes storing, retrieving, manipulating and transmitting data or
information. The term IT encompasses the computer software, hardware and related
devices. Web programming is one of the web based application refers to the writing,
markup and coding involved in Web development, which includes Web content, Web
client and server scripting and network security. The most common languages used for
Web programming are XML, HTML, JavaScript, Perl 5 and PHP.
The IT industry is one of the fastest growing industries. Organizations specializing in
computer hardware, software, internet, e-commerce, information, security, electronics,
semiconductors, and many more are growing day by day. The IT industry has rapidly
changing environment which is why IT professionals need to constantly update
themselves according to the changes occurring in industry. The use of information
technology in businesses has grown drastically and has now become a necessity for

2.4. History of IT in Nepal
The history of IT and computers in Nepal dates back to not more than a couple of decades.
However, the growth of Information Technology here has been rapid. The major leap
towards the advancement in this field started when the first computer IBM 1401, a second
generation mainframe computer was used in the 1971 census, although an electronic
calculator called ‘Facid’ was used before in the 1961 census. Again, another second
generation mainframe computer ICL 2950/10 was used for the 1981 census.
The credit for introducing internet among the people mainly goes to the private
sector. Although the internet was initially limited only to email services, in 1995, a
company Mercantile Communications finally started the internet services in the
country. In 1998, Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), a telecommunications
regulatory body, was formed as per the Telecommunications Act 1997. NTA holds the
power to issue license to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Nepal.
Some of the major licensed ISPs in Nepal are:
•
Mercantile Communications Private Limited
•
Worldlink Communications Private Limited
•
Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited
•
Broadlink Network and Communications Private Limited
•
Hotlink Nepal Private Limited
The full list of the ISPs can be found here.
Meanwhile, the number of internet users has increased by considerable amount. While
it was just about 0.2% of the total population in the year 2000 who had access to
internet, it increased to about 2.2% by the year 2010 (Source : ITU). The advancement
in technology due to the advent of smartphones and tablet PCs has helped to increase the
7
public awareness and raise their interest towards technology to a great extent. And it can
be felt in the latest statistics of internet users in the country (for the year 2012). The
number, according to NTA, has increased to more than 4 million now (which also include
the number of people accessing internet via GPRS and CDMA).
Although there are a lot of encouraging signs for Nepal in the field of IT, the current
quality of IT services and education still leaves a lot to be desired. Considerable amount
of work needs to be done and the initiative should be taken early if we are to level and
keep up with the world in the field of technologies. 21st century demands globalization.
Hence, investment and development in the field of technology and computing cannot be
overlooked to achieve it.
2.5. Opportunities and Challenges
Some Opportunities are:

Technological advances has resulted in dramatically lowering costs of electronics

Borderless world because of globalization

New applications have given rise to new ways of entertaining (i.e. online gaming)
and socialization (i.e. chat rooms)

Machine learning and VR has given a new scope in IT

Online course and certification has given opportunities to learn new technology
remotely

Remote computing in getting its way.
Some Challenges are:

Skilled manpower is outsourcing to the countries

Latest technology updates

Network security is by far greatest concern for many companies

Insufficient allocation of Budget.

CHAPTER IV: ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES DONE / PROBLEM
SOLVED
4.1. Brief Description of Activity Done
Activities performed during internship period are analyzed in detail below:
4.1.1. Web Application Development
During the internship period, the company assigned me a job to create invoice
management system which has to be dynamic web sites combined with server side
programming which provide functionalities such as bill payment receipt, recording the
total sale and calculating the profit and loss of the organization. (Kohan, n.d.)
4.1.2. Tools Used
Various tools were used during internship. Different tools help to perform as per the
requirement of the client. Tools which were being used are listed as

XAMPP Server
XAMPP is free and open source Cross-Platform Web Server Solution Stack. It
comes with Apache Web Server, MYSQL, PHP and Perl Programming Language.
XAMMP allows me to work or test my work without the use of internet. XAMMP
allows me to treat a localhost like a remote host by connecting using an FTP.

Google Chrome
Web Browser is used to run the system. Google Chrome is a freeware web browser
developed by Google. Google Chrome help me to run my web page via localhost
using XAMPP server. Google Chrome is fast and more convenient to use for web
sites and it helps me to connect localhost server via XAMPP server.
11

GIT
GIT is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and
coordinating work on those files among multiple peoples. GIT helped me to share
and exchange code with other developers easily. It helps me find the recent changes
code, it helps me to backup my code easily to a remove server and it helps me to
recover code which is accidentally deleted code. (Elder, 2016)

PhpStorm
PhpStorm is a commercial, cross platform IDE for PHP built on JetBrains’ IntellJ
IDEA platform. I prefer phpStorm because phpStorm is a PHP IDE that actually
‘gets’ your code. It supports php 5.3/5.4/5.5/5.6/7.0/7.1/7.2, provides on-the-fly
error prevention, best autocompleting and code refactoring. PhpStorm provides
powerful built-in tools for debugging, testing and profiling my application. (git,
n.d.)
4.2. Basic Functionalities of System

Dynamic web sites combined with server side programming

Insures that other developers can understand and become familiar with the code in
a short time

Add, remove, update the data and record from the from the system

User management where user can create invoice and view the menu item

Creates the best environment for multiple users to work on the same system.

CHAPTER V: CONCLUSION / LESSONS LEARNT
5.1. Conclusion
It was a wonderful experience to work in Web Developers International with highly
professional group of people. It was a great opportunity to learn about the professional
environment and develop a professional attitude by comparing it to our studies Bachelor
of Information Management (BIM).
Invoice management is an essential part of any business. Whether you are sending or
receiving invoices, it is important that you use an efficient and integrated system to make
sure that you keep everything organized. The practice of invoice management has
become much easier with the advent of online systems. Keeping your invoicing
procedures streamlined will allow you to keep your finances up to date, protect your
credit and pay taxes easier. When you stay on top of your bills, you can spend less time
organizing paper and get back to business sooner.
5.2. Lessons Learnt
As an intern in Web Developers International, it become very helpful for me since it had
provided me the opportunities to acquire the practical knowledge about the working
procedures in the organization at a real time. I had learnt how the company works on the
daily basis. Being an organization and experiencing in-job atmosphere exposed me to
real organization which was way different then the theoretical organization with which I
was familiar with. Everything, it be principles, guiding procedures, organizational
culture, motivation, stress handling, all were so different.
Some of lesson that I was able to learn within my internship period are as follows:

Create custom menu, specialized page templates

Add theme features by admin to record data of employee, item, category and others

Edit record data of add features

Search form for the recorded data in the system

Time and punctuality is an important factor to every of organization success
21

Problems bothering staffs should be eliminated as soon as possible

The working procedure to the organizational work structure must be updated as per
as the organizational requirements

Proper communication in between organizational members is very much important.
