COMP 340: Databases, Spring 2018
Project Milestone 1
Your task for this milestone is to (a) pick a group of people to work with, and a
(b) choose a domain that you want to design a database-driven web application around.
What you need to do
- Read over the project guidelines.
- Find a group of four or five people. There are 25 people in class, so we should end
up with five groups of four people and one group of five people. If you choose to
create a group of five, please email me as soon as you have picked your group members so
I know when the group of five is spoken for.
- Give your group a name.
- Pick a domain for your project: the "main idea" behind the web application your group will build.
Some ideas to get you started are listed in the project guidelines.
- Decide how your website will function from the user's perspective. In other words,
describe how a user would interact with the website: what can can do and what they
see while doing it. Don't get technical here; use language that a non-computer scientist could
understand.
What to turn in
Hand in a one-page write-up describing all of the above items (group name, members,
domain, and website functionality). Do not skimp on the functionality section; try to
brainstorm as many details as you can. It's better to have too many ideas here than
too few.
