  • “Sales and Profit Analysis by Sub-Category in Superstore Dataset”

    For the exercise below, we will again work with the Superstore file(attached)
    Please do the following in Tableau:
    1.  Open the application
    2.  On the main screen, go to the Connect pane on the left.  Go to the bottom and connect to Sample-Superstore.
    3.  Complete the process of opening the file in Tableau. 
    4. Now we are going to build a few things in Tableau.  The first one will give us Sales by Sub Category.  To start, find the Sales field on the left side of your screen.  It should be under the Measures section at the lower part of the left pane.  Drag it to the Columns section at the top of the screen.  It should show you a solid bar in the display as we are currently only looking at a single dimension.
    5.  Next, we want to break this single dimension into categories (a second dimension).  So we will find Sub-Category and drag it into the Rows section.  That should give you a two-dimensional bar chart that shows Sales by Sub-Category.
    6.  But what if we also wanted to see Profits by Sub-Category?  We can do that too.  Just find the Profit field and drag it to the Columns section right next to Sales.  You will get two bar charts, one that shows Sales by Sub-Category and a second, to the right that shows Profits by Sub-Category.
    7.  That might not be the best way to display this since the user has to match each Sub-Category across two bar charts.  What if we could combine the charts?  To do that, Undo the second bar chart by clicking the back arrow at the upper left of the screen.
    8.  Now take the Profit field and drag it to the bottom of the display where the word Sales appear.  When you get close to Sales, you will see two boxes.  When you drop the word Profit, on to Sales, you will combine the two bar charts.
    9.  Let’s do one more thing.  Go back to the single Sales bar chart by clicking the back arrow to undo what you have just done.  You should be back to the single bar chart. This shows us Sales but we might want to see if the Profit on those sales matches the sales.  You might sell a good deal of a product (making overall Sales high) but the profits might not be good for that Sub-Category.
    10.  Find Profit on the left side and drag it to the Color tab under the Marks section in the middle of the screen. What this will do is apply color indicating the profit level of each of the Sub-Categories. The size of the bar indicates the overall level of sales for that Sub-Category.  The color of the bar, regardless of the size, indicates whether the Sub-Category was profitable.
    11.  To get a little more specific, once again, drag Profit over to the Marks section and, this time, drop it onto the Label shelf.  Then you can see the exact levels of profitability for each of the Sub-Categories.
    Save your worksheet (File / Save) and submit it as this week’s submission.

    Write a short paper containing your website development plan for a site you would like to develop in the future. Include the following in your plan:
    Identify which type of website you will create a mock design of the websites homepage for.  Your types of websites to select from are:  personal, organizational/topical, or commercial.  Write a brief paragraph describing the website’s overall purpose and the target audience. Create a name for your website.
    List at least three general goals for your website. You will fine-tune these goals into a mission statement in a subsequent chapter.
    List elements you will use in addition to text—photos, music, animation, and so forth—that you could include on your website to support your general goals.
    Identify the design tools you expect to use to develop your website.
    Identify an available domain name and URL for your website.  Research to make sure it is available.
    Submit your findings as a research paper using APA 7th Edition formatting guidelines.
    Be prepared to discuss your plan with the class.
    The paper must follow the formatting guidelines in the American Psychological Association Publication Manual [APA Manual], 2019, 7th edition (i.e., APA 7).  Students are expected to include the following:

  • “Strengthening Cybersecurity: The Importance of Penetration Testing for E-commerce Websites”

    Penetration testing, also known as
    ethical hacking, is a cornerstone of proactive cybersecurity. This rigorous
    discipline involves a sequence of deliberate and controlled cyber-attacks
    conducted by professional security analysts to assess the resilience of IT
    systems against malicious intrusions (Bolach, 2019). Going far beyond
    superficial security checks, penetration testing intricately examines security
    protocols. For example A company has an e-commerce website where customers can browse products,
    add them to their cart, and make purchases using their credit card information.
    The company wants to ensure that their website is secure and customer data is
    protected from potential cyber threats. examines the robustness of
    security protocols, uncovers latent vulnerabilities, and tests the efficacy of
    defensive mechanisms under simulated hostile conditions.
