2023 1 Considering what you have learned throughout this course would you feel comfortable setting up a local area network | Assignment Collections

• 1:  Considering what you have learned throughout this course, would you feel comfortable setting up a local area network? Why or why not?

2:I think you are in the same place in your education as many students.  I’m glad that you would feel comfortable with setting up an IP LAN.  For an IPX LAN, what operating system would that be?   Also, how might you get more practice with IP subnetting prior to actually having a job that requires it? 

3:LANs have a lot of different components to them and can be set up in different ways like the different types of wired LANs as well as a wireless LAN. I found understanding how different LANS are set up and work as well as how LAN technology has progressed up until now very interesting and helpful. I have not spent a lot of time in office buildings or looking at different companies LAN networks, so personally I am most familiar with or have the most experience with wireless LANs. I learned a lot about wired LANs which helped me understand wireless LANs a bit more but I am much more inclined to set up a wireless LAN. I prefer wireless LANs because I believe them to have much better benefits as opposed to wired LANs even though wired LANs are more physically secure in my opinion. I do not think I would be very comfortable setting up a wired LAN even though I understand how for the most part thanks to this class. I would be able to set up a wireless network, and I would enjoy setting one up as well I think.  With wireless LANs, it does not matter where you take the computer within the range of the network you can still access the network. It is also easy to allow other computers people bring into your house or business to access your network if you wish them to.

The business website that I selected to use in my discussion is http://www.gatesnfences.com/. I have seen some bad designs in the past, but this one by far is the worst. The page layout is awful, some of the text on the page is to small to read, information is scattered throughout the whole page, and the images aren’t as clear as they should be. I recommend that the images are changed to JPG, GIF, or PNG for a clearer picture. Another big problem I saw was the web pages loaded with information to read, there were paragraphs after paragraphs. Every link that I clicked was connected to several other links which made it difficult for me to find what I was looking for, and eventually I ended up leaving the site. The navigation was just as bad as the page layout, I left the site because I became confused as soon as I entered the site. I recommend that majority of the information should be deleted, and summed up into small paragraphs with important information that the users need to know.

5:I think it was a good choice to use a business that you were familiar with because it allows you to generate an impression of what the website appears to be and the actual business. Compared to the website I and other classmates have selected yours seems to be in pretty good shape! I agree with your comments about the homepage and linked pages. I think the page does a pretty good job of reflecting the type of business and the look or feel that is typically associated with it. That being said, I can see where there is a need for improvement is some areas. In your opinion is the actual store what you would expect from looking at the webpage?

6:Cassandra, I agree ASP.NET is a powerful platform, just being able to eliminate issues with the different browsers is a time saver for the designer and developer. And understanding how and what a program can do not only helps in troubleshooting but help eliminate problems before they happen. and coming from a big name like Microsoft, I would feel more comfortable with it, knowing they have the resources and experience to live up to what they are saying.
