Term project - COAP 3180
Overview
- Define a web application project
- Install and configure appropriate portalware
- Write a short report.
Constraints / Details
- You must install some kind of LAMP/WAMP-based portalware. You are free to use an "easy" installation procedure, e.g. Mowes or a provider that supports quick installation of portalware. But using an online service like google sites, zoho, etc. is not allowed !
- Your application must include some kind of structured data that one or (more more) user(s) could enter. Examples: A list of books, motorcycles or Cell phone models.
- You may not submit a prior website, i.e. your application must be new (but you may reuse prior assets as you like, e.g. text, artwork, pictures).
The report
The report will have three parts:
- Specification: The overall objective plus a list of features to be implemented that include "must have" and "nice to have" items.
- Implementation: A short description of the implementation including 1-2 screen captures.
- Evaluation: An evaluation/self-critique with respect to the feature list.
Infrastructure
You may choose between:
- Mowes (on a memory stick that you can bring to class)
- An other WAMP on your own portable that you bring to class
- A php/mysql provider
You are free to choose any sort of php/mysql-based portalware.
Tips
- We suggest using Wordpress. Use its "formidable" extension to create the little "database" (we shall have a look at it in week 5 or 6)
- CS students also can go for one of the "major" CMS/CMF frameworks, like Joomla, Drupal, ModX, Zikula, ...
Submission Dates
- The homework, i.e. the implementation and a good draft of the report is due at start of week 8
- The final report must be handed in by Wednesday week 8.
- Each term project must be shortly presented in the class (5 minutes)
Evaluation
TBA in more detail.
- The most fundamental evaluation criteria will relate to the usefulness of the site (usability, ergonomics, fit to objectives).
- Term project counts for 20%
Tips
- Start early ! No later than week 5...
