INTRODUCTION
1.1 What is Salesforce
Salesforce is a customer relationship management tool (CRM), which means it is used to
keep track of and strengthen a company’s relationship with its existing and potential
clients. Salesforce is a customer relationship management solution that brings companies
and customers together. It's one integrated CRM platform that gives all your departments
— including marketing, sales, commerce, and service — a single, shared view of every
customer.

1.2 What is CRM

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a technology for managing all your
company’s relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers. The
goal is simple: Improve business relationships. A CRM system helps companies stay
connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability. When people
talk about CRM, they are usually referring to a CRM system, a tool that helps with
contact management, sales management, productivity, and more. A CRM solution helps
you focus on your organization’s relationships with individual people — including
customers, service users, colleagues, or suppliers — throughout your lifecycle with them,
including finding new customers, winning their business, and providing support and
additional services throughout the relationship.

1.3 What does a CRM System do

A customer relationship management (CRM) solution helps you find new customers, win
their business, and keep them happy by organizing customer and prospect information in
a way that helps you build stronger relationships with them and grow your business faster.
CRM systems start by collecting a customer's website, email, telephone, social media
data, and more, across multiple sources and channels. It may also automatically pull in
other information, such as recent news about the company's activity, and it can store
personal details, such as a client's personal preferences on communications. The CRM
tool organizes this information to give you a complete record of individuals and
companies overall, so you can better understand your relationship over time. A CRM
platform can also connect to other business apps that help you to develop customer
relationships. CRM solutions today are more open and can integrate with your favorite
business tools, such as document signing, accounting and billing, and surveys, so that
information flows both ways to give you a true 360-degree view of your customer.

IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Hardware Requirements:
 Processor : Any processor above 500 MHz
 Ram : 4GB.

 Hard Disk : 256 GB.

 Input device : Standard Keyboard and Mouse.

 Output device: High Resolution Monitor.

3.2 Software Requirements:

HTML
This is one of the fundamental building blocks of the web. HTML, or “Hypertext Markup
Language,” has been around in some form since roughly 1993, when it was created by
physicist Tim Berners-Lee. It’s now in its fifth generation, HTML5.
HTML isn’t a programming language, rather it’s a “Markup language.” It uses a syntax of tags
to change the way text is displayed, for instance. It can also define where images go on a page.
What’s great is that HTML is relatively simple to learn. It provides a great place to start for
people who don’t have experience with programming languages to learn the basics of coding.
CSS
CSS or “Cascading Style Sheets” works with HTML to create the format for web pages. It
works on top of the foundation of a page that was created with HTML. It also helps adapt
pages to different formats optimized for desktops or mobile devices. The latest standard is
CSS3, meaning they are in their third generation.CSS is what gives websites their polished
and professional look. It also allows for the addition of interactive elements like background
colour, headers, shapes, graphics, and more that make websites and web applications much
more engaging to the viewer.

JavaScript

JavaScript, which is often abbreviated to JS, is another front-end programming language that
is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. As of
2022, 98% of websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behaviour, often
incorporating third-party libraries like jQuery. Whereas HTML & CSS are used to control
presentation, formatting, and layout, JavaScript is used to control the behaviour of different
web elements.

Real Time Weather Forecast Application
It is important to learn HTML and CSS before learning JavaScript, since HTML and CSS are
the core technologies for building web pages and applications. HTML defines the structure of
your content, CSS determines the style and layout, and JavaScript makes the content
interactive; therefore, it makes the most sense to learn them in that order. JavaScript
incorporates valuable skills such as object-oriented, functional, and imperative styles of
programming. Beginner developers, in turn, can apply these skills to any new language they
want to learn, like Python and C#.
Understanding how to program in JavaScript is essential to landing any web development job.
JavaScript is more complex than both HTML and CSS. However, that doesn’t mean it’s
beyond anyone’s grasp. Both professionals and amateur developers both use JavaScript code
to make professional-looking websites.

CHAPTER 5
IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 Project : Real Time Weather Forecast Application
To summarize and brief in short, Weather App is the application of science and
technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time.
People have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia and formally since
the 19th century. Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the
current state of the atmosphere, land, and ocean and using meteorology to project how the
atmosphere will change at a given place. It is very important to get educated on the
current weather situation of a particular location as preferred since it affects the day-to-
day life of everyone. It is more effective if we can get quickly updated on current weather
status of a required location, as it makes it easy to handle not only our activities, but also
our livelihoods too. A huge problem that we are facing nowadays is inability to know real
weather status in such places. So, if we need to know the current situation in a certain
place, it is better to ask from a person who is in that area recently or currently. He is a
better source than any prevailing weather information.
Weather Forecasting is the application of science and technology used to predict the
meteorological conditions of the atmosphere for a specific location and time. Weather
forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the
atmosphere at a given place and using meteorology to project how the atmosphere will
change. It has enabled many of us to stay notified about the changes in climatic
conditions beforehand. Rainfalls, fogs, and snows, as well as hurricanes, tornados, and
cyclones, can cause serious damage to the businesses like farming and other fields
dependent on weather conditions. Using the weathercast app, we can promptly monitor
the weather and predict the most appropriate time for land irrigation and to prevent any
loss of profit. It can be said that weather forecasts have been one of the greatest
advancements of all time, mothered by innovative technologies and creative thoughts.
The furtherance of the weather forecasting is the weathercast application. Our application
displays various weather parameters such as current temperature, wind speed, humidity,
AQI, UVI. AQI(Air Quality Index) is a globally accepted standard to identify what is the
quality of air and how polluted it is, and the general people can use necessary measures.
Similarly, our app will also display the current UVI(Ultraviolet Index) value. UVI is a
globally accepted standard to measure the strength of the ultra violet radiations coming
from the sun. Our application is beneficial to the general public.

Real Time Weather Forecast Application
o Stylesheets: Contains CSS or SCSS files for styling the components and
ensuring a visually consistent and attractive UI.
o Assets Module: Stores image assets (search icon, clear icon, cloud icon,
etc.) used in the application for weather icons and UI elements.
 Main Application Module:
o App Component: Serves as the main entry point of the application,
orchestrating the rendering of different modules/components and
managing overall application state using React hooks like useState.

5.3 Tools and Technologies Used

 React: React is the primary framework used in the project, leveraging functional
components and hooks like useState and useEffect for managing state and side
effects. The codebase employs functional components such as VirtualOrder_V2 to
define UI elements, interact with props, and maintain component-specific state
variables like profit Val, virtual Transaction, user, and error. JSX syntax is
extensively used for rendering UI components like tables, buttons, forms, and
cards from React Bootstrap and custom components. React event handling
mechanisms handle user interactions such as button clicks (on Click), triggering
actions like data fetching from APIs through methods like getAllorder.
Conditional rendering techniques are employed to display loading indicators
(Loader component) or error messages (Error Widget component) based on
component state, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly interface within the
React ecosystem
