CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

Let us see Picture 1,1. For most users, the above picture is fairly familiar. In the picture, the desktop of Microsoft Windows operating system is shown. Several icons is shown in the picture. Double clicking on the icon will open a certain software application that can be used to do a certain task.
These days almost all aspects of life were touched by the use of software. Some software may already been used or seen by us, such as, music
player, cashier application software, document editor, etc. These softwares were the results of a series of process or the activity that was known as the Software Engineering. What is Software Engineering? This chapter
will try to answer such question.

1.1 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONCEPT

The Software Engineering term began to be popularized in 1968 at Software Engineering Conference that was held by NATO. Some people interpret Software Engineering to be limited on how to made a computer program. In fact, there are basic differences between software and computer program.
Software is all the command that can be used to process information. Software could take the form of the program or the procedure. The program was the collection ordered that was understood by the computer whereas the procedure was the order that was needed by the user in processing information (O?fBrien, 1999).
A body of knowledge that discussed all the aspects of the production of software, starting from the early stage that is the analysis of the requirement for the user, determined the specification from the requirement for the user, the design, coding, the testing to the maintenance of the system after being used.
It is clear that Software Engineering is not only related to the production method of the computer program. The statement ?gall aspects of production?h in the above definition, has the meaning of all the matters that are connected with the process of the production like project management, the determination of the personnel, the budget of the cost, the method, the schedule, the quality up to the training of the user was a part of Software Engineering.

1.2 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING OBJECTIVES

In general, software engineering objectives are fairly similar to other engineering fields. Let us examine Figure 1.2.

Figure 1.2 shows that an engineering field will always try to produce the highest
performance output at the lowest possible cost at exact time. The software engineering aims for,

Lower software production cost. High performance and reliable software in time. Multi platform software. Low maintenance cost.

1.3 SCOPE

As defined above, the scope of software engineering is as follows,

Software requirements related to the requirement specifications of the software. Software design includes software architecture determination, software components, interface, as well as other software characteristics. Software construction relates to the software development, including the algorithm, coding, testing, and debugging. Software testing covers software behavior evaluation and testing. Software maintenance Includes maintenance efforts as software is operated. Software configuration management is related to the configuration of software
to satisfy a certain requirement. Software engineering management related to the management and the grating
software engineering, including planning of the software project. Software engineering tools and methods include the theoretical study on aids
and the software engineering method. Software engineering process is concerned with the definition, the implementation, the grating, the management, the change and the improvement of the process software engineering. Software quality is stressed on the quality and the software life-cycle.

1.4 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE

Computer Science was born at the beginning of the 1940 ‘s that was the integration from the theory of the algorithm, mathematical logic and the discovery of the storage method of the program electronically to the computer. Since then computer science had experienced continuous development and broadening.

The scope of knowledge in computer science often described as a
systematic study in processes of the algorithm that explained and
transformed information (Denning, 2000). It includes the theory, the
analysis, the design, efficiency, the application and it application.

There are several branch of knowledge in the computer science discipline as seen in the Figure 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.

Based on Denning’s (2000) and Wikipedia’s
(2007), software engineering was the subsector of computer science that was equal to the other subsector. Whereas according to ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), software engineering is part of Section D (Software). Although being seen separated, in its application, the subsector software engineering always needed the support from the other subsector, especially algorithm and data structure, programming language, database, operating  system and network, and information system.

1.5 SOFWARE ENGINEERING AND OTHER DISCIPLINE

Since the scope of software engineering is quite wide, it relies heavily to other fields.

Not only with other sub sector in computer science but also other fields outside computer science. Software engineering relations with other fields
can be seen in Figure 1,7.

Management field covers accounting, financial, marketing, operation management, economics, quantitative analysis, human resources management, policy and business strategy. mathematical field covers linear algebra, calculus, probabilistic, statistics, numerical analysis and discreet mathematics. Project management field covers project related matters, such as, project scope, budgeting, human resource, quality control, risk management, and project scheduling. Quality management field covers quality system development, risk and reliability management, quality improvement, and quantitative methods. Ergonomics field covers man and machine interaction. System engineering covers system theory, cost analysis, modeling, simulation, business process and operation.

1.6 PROFESSION AND CERTIFICATION

Software Engineer profession is fairly new for Indonesians. Most Indonesians possibly more familiar with the term Information Technology expert, Information System Analyst, Operator or the other term. It is due to the confusion on the term software engineer as described in the early of the chapter. However in countries with mature information technology, Software Engineer term is more often used.
Software engineer certification is still debatable among expert and software vendor. Most certification in software industry is usually product specific. For example, the software company like Redhat Linux Inc., Adobe Inc., Oracle, or Microsoft, give certification to those who master their product.
ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) had run Software Engineer certification program in the 1980. Unfortunately, they have to discontinue due to lack of interest.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) has Issued more than 500 certificates of software profession. Canada has issued a legal certificate for software engineer that was known as ISP (Information Systems Professional).
At this time, there is no software engineer certification in Indonesia. However, the National Competence for Computer Programmer has been defined. Although, it has not fully covered computer programmer field, it can be used for early approach to software engineer certification.

1.7 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Software engineering had conceptually close to problem solving principles. Understanding on the problems, the strategy and the process as well as the system approach in the solution to the problem will help the software engineering processes.

1.7.1 The Problem and The Symptom, A problem can be seen as the difference between the condition that happened and the condition that it was hoped. It might also be interpreted as the difference between the condition now and the aimed condition. For example, a student hoped to receive 80 in a C++ Programming exam, but in fact he only received 60. The existence of this difference showed the existence of a problem.
Often it is difficulty to distinguish between the symptom and the problem. The symptom is a sign of the occurrence of a problem. 1.7.2. Type of Problem
Problem in standard fulfillment. The problem in this group is related to the achievement of the standard that was determined in an organization. It usually relates to the long term objectives of the organization. 
Problem in alternative selection. The problem in this group is in choosing the best solution from various alternatives based on certain criteria. This problem is often encountered in daily life, such as, choose the exact school, choose the residence location, choose field of work. The alternative and the criterion had the weight that was agreed to.
Problem in customer’s satisfaction fulfillment. In profit oriented organizations, problem in customer’s satisfaction fulfillment is often emerged. The customers may have many wishes and one may be highly different than others. Fulfill all customer’s wishes may not possible and very incriminating an organization. One must look for the solution that benefit both the customer and the organization.
The problem in goal achievement. This type of problem resembles the first type of problem, problem in standard fulfillment. The difference, this type of problem is in achieving short term goals that might not be fixed can be altered in a short time. 1.7.3. Problem Solving
Problem solving is a process where a situation was observed and after the problem found, a solution is made by determining the problem, reducing or eliminating the problem or preventing the problem from happening.

Photography in the past was considered to be an art. You need to learn all about photography before you can consider yourself as a real professional photographer and you also need to apply the things you learned as well as take really good pictures. In the past, photographers learned about focal length, exposure value, film speed, shutter speeds and other photography stuff. Also, you need to use an old adjustable film camera as well as a light meter in order for you to know what kind of light settings you are in.

Also, in the past, you will need to learn how to develop films in to photos. Some people even converted their basements in to makeshift dark rooms while others just settled for the toilet.

Today, photography is still considered as an art but it\’s really much simpler now. With digital cameras, you will see that photography is now about point, shoot, upload and print. You don’t even need dark rooms anymore as the photos are now stored as digital format which you can readily upload to your computer and print in your printer.

Editing photos today are also much simpler than it was before. Today, all you need is a special software program called Adobe Photoshop. Most professional photographers use Adobe Photoshop to edit and enhance the pictures they take. The great thing about this particular software is the tools available which can help you manipulate photos. For example, if you took a picture in poor lighting condition, you can easily adjust the brightness, contrast, color intensity and other factors and make it look like you took the picture in a perfect environment with the best lighting condition possible.

Adobe Photoshop is also filled with other features that can make your photos look like it was taken by a professional. If you do headshots of your friends or family, then you will be able to make them look much more beautiful. Even if they don’t have any make up on, you will be able to make them look like they wore make up with Adobe Photoshop. You can even remove facial imperfections, such as pimples and scars.

In fact, Adobe Photoshop has tools that will even make someone obese look like a supermodel. Of course, everyone wants to look younger. With Adobe Photoshop, you can make wrinkles and other age marks disappear. This is how powerful Adobe Photoshop is.

Remove red eye Easily and Quickly with Photoshop in 90 seconds

One of the biggest problems with photographs of people is the phenomenon known as redeye. this is particularly a problem with nighttime photographs.

Removing redeye with Photoshop is actually quite easy and can be done in as little as 90 seconds.  The cause of redeye is the flash of the camera reflecting back the blood vessels in the back of a persons eyes.

Most cameras today have a feature built in to prevent redeye. The way it works is the camera produces a bright flash briefly before the picture is taken.  This tends to create an unnatural dialation of a person’s eyes making them have tiny pinpoint pupils in the photograph.

A better solution is to use an image editing software program like Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop makes it extremely fast and easy to remove redeye from photographs even the worst case of redeye.

Photoshop is a giant image editing software program that can be quite intimidating to beginners and even intermediate users of Photoshop.  However with the right training and tutorials Photoshop can be mastered quickly and easily.  To see how to remove redeye in photographs visit remove-redeye-in-photoshop.info.

There is both a video video tutorial on how to remove redeye vai Photoshop as well as text instructions for users that can view the video or don’t have sound with their computer.

You can see from the before and after photographs above how natural looking the result is.

Quick Camera tip to reduce redeye: Use a bright light that is far back behind the camera before shooting the picture.

Templates are used to make repetitive tasks easier. A web page template contains numerous line of coding that can become disorienting after a time. Various coding endeavors have created styles in which the code is presented on a web page, and one of those styles is a cascading style sheet.

The templates that are created using the Joomla Content Management System have undergone various phases where the code for the software has been thoroughly tested for errors. When creating CSS valid Joomla templates, developers must ensure that the cascading style sheets embedded in the Hypertext Markup Language is correctly formatted.

Since the Joomla Content Management System is comprised of basic software that is based on the cumulative efforts of a core development team, the open source label makes it available to anyone throughout the world who is able to correctly code and orchestrate multiple web page listings for use on the internet. The code in the cascading style sheets has to be absolutely correct because flawed code will create other flawed Joomla programs if it manages to pass the verification process.

Open source programs can be downloaded free of charge and used as the developer sees fit. The uniformity of each cascading style sheet used in a Joomla template will be patterned from code that might have been created years before, and is simply expanded upon by the developer. The verification process is quick and simply and developers can realize where errors are in their code in a matter of seconds.

Many developers choose to download the code verification software program and store it on their hard drives for easy access. There are several code checkers available for Joomla applications and one of those checkers is specifically created for cascading style sheets. These table less layouts in a Joomla template follow a certain standard that was established by the W3C.

With all developers creating program code that is designed in the same format repeatedly, it makes the web page data easier to read and comprehend by anyone knowledgeable with software programming and the HTML language framework that formats the text this is routinely displayed in web pages throughout the internet. In coding for computer programs, developers will generally follow a rule of uniformity throughout the programs that they create.

This uniformity ensures that all web content can be accessed through the internet. The interoperability options offered by a Joomla template software program will ensure that the template can be interpreted by any computer browser. The flexible layout of the cascading style sheet format allows templates to be created with various module placement positions.

To create a CSS valid Joomla template, developers have to be able to make changes quickly and refer back to the original code when errors are identified. The various parts of web content can be scanned through due to the precise format that is involved in CSS formatting. Developers can fine tune each template to work well with the cascading style sheet tags and any scripts that are included in the web page code.
