The Design and Implementation of the Campus Forum
Abstract
Nowadays, with the rapid development of the network, the Internet has become an important way for people to obtain, release and send messages. It also plays a key role in every field, such as in politics, economy, study and daily life. As known to all, forum is one of the well-known network services. It provides a "public" space for all the users to release and get messages, and allows users to discuss their interested topics together. The main functions of the forum system go as follows, user communication, user management, information inquiry and classification. Therefore, this paper plans to introduce the design and implementation of the forum for our school by using ASP+SQL Server2000. The ASP language has many advantages, for example, high security, relieving the load of the user's IE browser and improving the speed of communication. And the SQL Server2000 is a real multi-user, multi-thread database server.
The system is based on the active web page and made by DREAMWEAVER. Special client software is not necessary for the users, and the users are able to exchange opinions through releasing and replying messages with the help of the administrator, who can process the information immediately.
