Design/Development:

1.  Consider a project that you have recently completed. What were some of the challenges that you personally faced while developing UI/API/DB/any others?

Were you able to overcome those challenges and if so, how were you able to overcome them?

At the same time, did you have to compromise or sacrifice anything in order to overcome the challenge? If so, how did you justify the compromises/sacrifices?

If there were other possible solutions to address the challenge, why did you pick one over the other?

2.  Describe a scenario from one of your recent projects where you used caching (Should be a project where you used Angular/AngularJS for UI, .NET RESTful Web API and SQL Server for the backend).

What was the reason you chose caching as the solution and how did you implement it?

Please also state the version used in the project for Angular, C# and SQL Server.

3.  You have been provided a technical design to implement. Based on your personal contributions on past assignments, explain your considerations and the analysis you would perform to make contributions or recommendations to improve the design provided using an example to achieve these contributions/recommendations and justify how your input added value to the overall result.

4.  You have been assigned to a project to modernize a client’s application portfolio. What would you consider modernization of an application?

What would you consider an appropriate application to modernize and why?

Provide an example of a most recent project that met the scenario mentioned and describe how the modernization added value.

5.  Using an example of a recent project where you personally have developed an entire module on your own. In that example what are the design considerations that you had to make and what are the advantages and disadvantages of the design?

Why did you decide to go with the design that you have at this point?

Maintenance/Troubleshooting:

6.  Describe a scenario when there was a performance problem in an application deployed to production (Should be an application where you used Angular/AngularJS for UI, .NET RESTful Web APIs and SQL Server for the backend). Please describe the tools that you used to troubleshoot the problem and how you found the root cause of the problem and what was the corresponding resolution. Please also state the version used in the project for Angular, C# and SQL Server.

7.  Users who are using an AngularJS application with REST API backend and SQL server 2016 are reporting that they are having an issue with the UI taking a very long time to load. How do you go about troubleshooting what the problem is?

Question:

 What do you think the future of Big Data will be? Will it lose its popularity to something else? If so, what will it be?

The main objective of this project is to recognize handwritten characters of English alphabets from A to Z using this dataset from the website- https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sachinpatel21/az-handwritten-alphabets-in-csv-format/code

Skill sets required- Python, Datascience, and Machine Learning.

I only need the working code and the output with the following details

1) I will be giving either single or multiple handwritten alphabets in an image(.jpg or .png) format as input and the model should predict the complete output accordingly.

2) I also need a demo of the project so that I can understand, explain and execute the project in front of my professors.

3) The input to the model will be given randomly by the professor and then I need to process the input, execute and show the output to them.

4) The project should be accurate in predicting the alphabets.

5) Using OCR(Optical Character Recognition) technology which recognizes text within a digital image is recommended if possible. If not any other technology used is also fine. But need to recognize the alphabets with accuracy.

6) If any plotting or graphs can be included, that can be really helpful.

Deadline: April 14th, 2023 by end of the day.

Case Project 4-1: Using System-Monitoring Tools

 You recently became the server administrator for a company. As soon as you walked in the door, users were telling you the network is running slowly quite often, but they couldn’t tell you when it happened or how much it slowed down. What tests and measurements could you use to try to determine what’s going on?

Case Project 5-1: Deploying Remote Access

 You’re consulting for a company that uses Windows Server 2012 R2 servers in a domain environment. All computers are running Windows 8.1. You have been told to come up with a remote access solution for the company’s mobile workforce. Employees will be using company-issued laptops that they can use when they’re on the premises, too. The solution should provide access to the company network when employees have an Internet connection without them having to specifically initiate a connection. The solution should be secure and allow IT staff to perform maintenance tasks via Remote Desktop sessions on the laptops when they’re connected locally or remotely. What remote access solution do you recommend, and why? Are there any configuration options you should consider for this solution?

List the Case title, questions and answers.

Writing Requirements

• 2-3 pages in length  (excluding cover page, abstract, and reference list)
• APA 6th edition, Use the APA template located in the Student Resource Center to complete the assignment.

Item 3:  List one thing the company could have done better to accomplish their objective. Be sure to focus on the use of digital or social media here.
Item 4: If you decide to discuss the company’s use of Big Data to achieve a strategic advantage, does their use of Big Data concern you as a potential customer? Why or why not?

To help you with completing Section 3, we have provided two sample topics below:

Section 3 Example 1: Target’s Data Breach
Target’s December 2013 data breach was a public relations nightmare, but the company responded swiftly over social media, posting safety guidelines on Twitter and keeping an open dialog with its aggrieved customers.

Section 3 Example 2: Target’s Use of Big Data
Target is renowned in the industry for its data collection practices. Target maintains a customer relationship management database which includes information from in-store purchases (they link all of your purchases to a unique customer identifier) and data they collect externally (e.g. data from Facebook and other sources).  Combine the two data streams and Target can predict, with a high degree of certainty, what your gender is, where you live, how far you travel to work, your relationship status, and they can even tell if you are pregnant and if so when you are due. The amount of money spent each year on pregnancy-related purchases is tremendous. In efforts to win the market share in this profit area, Target has hired a team of statisticians to perform predictive analysis. The goal, in this particular situation, is to predict which women are expecting (or soon to be), without asking them directly, by analyzing their purchasing behavior (e.g. cribs, baby clothes, prenatal vitamins, etc.). This way Target can “target” this particular demographic (with coupons, discounts, and other offers) very early, thus getting a jump on the competition.

Section 3 Sources: Include at least two sources for Section 3. Include the two sources as in-paper citations and on your References page. At least one source should be professional or scholarly. 

NOTE 3: You cannot use Target in your project or any company we discussed in class (e.g. Google).
