PHISSUG

Hi everyone I'm Loreck, we're actually taking up our thesis this summer...We proposed to make a search engine to be place in the website of PUP(Polytechnic University of the Philippines). It will answer all the questions regarding PUP. Its capability on Natural Language Understanding will be bounded in the English Language. It will be incapable of translating and analyzing other languages. We are planning to use FLASH for data presentation. All the data that are retrieved and presented will be stored online by the use of a virtual database made out of SQL, and  ASP.NET for data manipulation. Do you think this instrumentation are coordinated to each other? What alternatives can we use for this software? Is it better to use java? Thanks... Good day to all....

since your are using sql server and asp.net, i suggest you use silverlight for your data presentation instead of flash. this is just my opinion.

btw. instead of search engine for your thesis. i suggest you create a "locator" (what ever you call it).

 If i search Rm401, then in the map it will highlight the building, where that room is, then show the floor and show the room. if the user click the room,it will show all the details like who will use this room today, what time, whos the professor, what subject etc.

if i search subject, then it will highlight all the room for that subject

if i search a professor, then it will highlight all the rooms for that professor.

Hi there Mr. Arthur! Thanks for the advice. Regarding the silverlight.. I dont have any idea what kind of application is that I used to read that in microsoft website. What requirements needed for it to run?

Actually, before we proposed an electronic bulletin board with locator, but unfortunately it was rejected. The locator will map the shortest path that you can take if you indicate the place you're heading to. The panelist dont get the point of putting a locator on a electronic bulletin board, that' why they suggest that search engine... In short they are actually the one who proposed the idea to us because they reject our proposal. It is really hard for us since we need to study everything. That's why I am searching for websites that provide tutorials for different programming languages that we will use.

Silverlight is the competitor of Flash and its created by microsoft. The reason why i suggest it is because you are already using asp.net and sql server. asp.net and sql server are both microsoft so it obvious that you should also use silverlight so will not have issues with compatability.

for silverlight tutorial this check this site[1]. It has lot of video tutorials for silverlight.

for the development studio for silverlight please download the Visual C# express edition here[2].
