  1. Why Use SharePoint?

a.  SharePoint is a component of Windows 2003 that lets you share Microsoft Office documents with others through web pages. Unlike most web sites, SharePoint sites are designed to be highly dynamic. Team members can easily upload documents, add public announcements, send alerts, track work items, and call meetings right from within Office products. 

2.      What is difference between SharePoint Service and SharePoint Server?

  1.  
    1. A Sharepoint service is freely downloadable.
    2. The Windows SharePoint Services are primarily focused around workgroup level collaboration . The main purpose for SharePoint Portal Server is to act as an enterprise level portal.
    3. SharePoint Portal Server was built on top of the Windows SharePoint Services. This means that anything that the Windows SharePoint Services can do, SharePoint Portal Server can also do. Windows SharePoint Service’s primary focus is to create workspaces that small groups of users can use to collaborate on projects by sharing a small collection of documents and other data. Where for SharePoint Portal Server is to act as an enterprise level portal. SharePoint server has some advance feature like searching like we can search for specific keyword. The results of the search can then be arranged by document author, site, date, and category. SharePoint Portal Server also offers hierarchical search scopes that allow users to perform searches from within specific topics, categories, or content sources.
  2. What is the  OS requirement for Windows SharePoint Service?
    1. Windows server 2003.
  3. What Software Requirements at client side for use sharepoint  services features?
    1. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 with SP2 or later (best results with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 with SP2 or later), Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 or later for Macintosh, Netscape Navigator version 6.2 or later, Mozilla 1.4 or later, or Firefox 1.0.4 or later 
  4. What types of configuration available for Sharepoint Services?
    1. There are two types of configuration available for sharepoint services and farm server.

                   i.      stand-alone server: if our requirement is hosting  very few sites  and for small organization

                  ii.      server farm:If we are supporting Web sites in a large organization or as an Internetserviceprovider (ISP), and anticipate heavy usage and a lot of data, we will most likely want to use the server farm configuration.

Create a Working Map using Google Maps API

Create a Working Map using Google Maps API

 


  1. To include a Google map on an online site, you’ll need an API key which is tied to your site URL and your GMail account. First, visit http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html. Make sure to read through the terms of use — there are some uses of the Maps API which are not allowed that you should be aware of.

     

  2. Enter the URL of your website in the ‘My web site URL’ box.It should be a domain name like http://gtl-466/GoogleMapIntegration. Check the box indicating you agree with the terms, then press the ‘Generate API Key’ button.

     

     

         

  1. You should now see the sign-up thank you page, which tells you your key (a long string of random characters), the directory/domain it’s valid for, and sample code for your first map which includes your API key. You can see the API key appended to the end of the script tag that loads the Maps API into the page. Keep this page open in your browser.

           

 

 

  1. Open a text editor like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Macs. Copy and paste the HTML from the thank you page into a blank document, and save it as mymap.html.

             

 

  1. It’s time to test it out! Right click on ‘mymap.html’ and select view in browser .Now you’ll see a browser window open up to http://gtl-466/GoogleMapIntegration/mymap.html.If you did all the steps correctly, you should now see a map centered on Palo Alto, California

     

    If you’re getting an error about the key being registered for a different site, then you probably entered in the wrong URL when you signed up for the API key. Go back to Step 2 of this section and make sure you enter the domain name that you see in the browser window for the page.

     

    If you’re not seeing a map and are just seeing a blank page, you probably made a copy & paste error. Go back to Step 4, and make sure you copy and paste all and only the HTML given to you in the textbox.

The Google File System – Google’s core storage platform

Google File System – large distributed log structured file system in which they throw in a lot of data. Reliable scalable storage is a core need of any application. GFS is Google’s core storage platform.Google File System (GFS) is a proprietary distributed file system developed by Google for its own use. Its point is both to assure reliablity by using redundant copies and to allow individual most used data to selectively receive more resources (more dedicated hardware or/and redundant copies).GFS is optimized for Google’s core data storage needs, web searching, which can generate enormous amounts of data that needs to be retained; Google File System grew out of an earlier Google effort, “BigFiles”, developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the early days of Google, while it was still located in Stanford. The data is stored persistently, in very large, multiple gigabyte-sized files (around 100GB) which are only extremely rarely deleted, overwritten, or shrunk; files are usually appended to or read. It is also designed and optimized to run on Google’s computing clusters, the nodes of which consist of cheap, “commodity” computers, which means precautions must be taken against the high failure rate of individual nodes and the subsequent data loss. Other design decisions select for high data throughputs, even when it comes at the cost of latency.
