| To achieve this objective in a society
too busy to realize the unique expertise of the keepers of peace - the
fountain head of an economically vibrant nation, is a steep task. This
constrasts with the significance attached to a veteran in nations like
Pakistan, Germany and France. That realisation will perhaps dawn in India
only in step with the structural and economic advancement.
In face of this challenge, the portal services demand constant evolution
- this means continually take out time for improved features, one to
one guidance to young officers who call up from remote locations seeking
direction and confidence to step out in the corporate India, search engine
optimisation and finally some amount of money from semiprecious.com
for a small advertising effort. This portal will always evolve and provide
innovative mechanisms to make it easier for the Indian veterans to
remain content and proud in their second career.
All ex-defence personnel are now able to make use of this platform even though
the core number is of GMP and management course trained officers of indian army, indian navy, indian airforce. Signing
up takes less than a minute but it is available only through invitation to make sure only bonafide individuals get entry.
As for employers and consultants (head hunters), since they are helping the FOI mission, they don't need to sign up or even pay till they want some special attention that is.
Technology
The portal is developed using the coldfusion or cfmx server side
technology. The hosting platform, in the US of A, is Windows and the
database in use is the world famous free MySQL RDBMS. The framework
for building the solution is a home grown variant of the struts framework
so famous in the Java ©right; world. The IDE preferred for this
is the Dreamweaver from Macromedia (now of course bought out by Adobe).
To make the experience more web 2.0ish we have Ajax too! And the Ajax
coding does not use CFMX custom components for ajax. Its all hand coded
and i wish to share more technical details on the framework used here and how ajax interfaces in a CFMX setup somewhere in this
space some day. Its somewhat Struts like or MVC2 like.
Very important for a job portal like Monster, Naukri.com and forcesofindia.com is the flexibility and power of the
search engine. The search engine used at forcesofindia is Verity. Verity has a powerful language of its own and it maintains a smart index of
its own. This index is refreshed once in 24 hours to cater to changes and new registrants. However, the full power of Verity language is
currently not bein used. It is also planned to use the Google API for doing an internal search on CVs and information provided by members. Will have to wait for that for a few months... |
