Hi I know this is probably going to seem like a stupid question but I just can't remember at the moment. What are Network based applications? Yeah I know stupid question but hey i'm having tempory memory loss and I've gotta find an example.

mm sorry u need to complete the Q...

Network based wat------------------ applications? is it database applications etc??

 

[Gemstone]

Oh sorry um I guess communications that's the topic where doing. the sheet just said network based applications.

Hmm... i'm not 100% certain but they're either: Applications that run a network (eg, Novell Client) OR they're just applications that designed to run over a network.

Communications... hmm... which textbook do you use gemma? the Heinemann IPT book by GK Powers? I'm looking through that now and nothing's coming up on Network based Applications... Closest match: Network Operating Systems... and they're like Novell Netware, Windows NT, stuff that support computers that are connected to a LAN.

Or, i could ask my IT teacher and come back to you tomorrow

 

[lil_star]

true...applications are sort of ''programs''....applications examples include Ms Word, Paint shop etc.....while Network based applications cud well be Internet explorer, Nover Client, Netscape...correct me if ive misinterpreted ur Q

Yeah that is much as I though. I think we are using the Hieneman book (it has a picture of a mouse on it. it's got a green colour scheme in the book). Yeah my teacher got this out of the sylabus because the book doesn't follow the sylabus correctly. So if your using it just be careful because it doesn't cover everything (so keep checking the sylabus). Thanks for the help.

...Oh crap

One with mouse in backgroung is: Heinmann IPT (HSC)
One with a CD: is : Jacaranda IPT (HSC)

i think Heinmann does go thru the syllabus, tho there must be *some* extra stuff.....jacaranda has *fair bit* of extra stuff as it was written keeping in mind that many SDD students also do IPT.....so yeah keep the syllabus with u! syllabus is ur bible for every subject!

i used both! jacaranda is good at practical understanding of IPT! while Heinmann is for definitions mainly!

 

[Gemstone]

Nah i've got Jacaranda but that's the one with the mouse on it.

We use the excel book to which is good because it picks up all the stuff the book leaves out.

lol lil star don't worry about it. I think I might try and get a copy of the heinaman book if it follows the sylabus better. Excel doesn't go into all that much detail on everything. But it told me what network based applications were. There internet browsers and that sort of thing.

[lil_star]

yeah do get heinmann...as jacaranda tends to miss syllabus stuff at times.....also jbe carefull when using jacaranda...as it is written so it helps both sdd and ipt students...i rememgber there was extra stuff in the option TPS...i did it! i learnt it! then when i realised we didnt need it...I forgot it! but it did take time learning/writing notes for stuff which was not even needed.

 

[Gemstone]

Oh okay thanks. Yeah the majority of my class do both ipt and sdd. Thanks for the warning.
