CS 204: Software Design

Web application, stage 4: finishing up

Finish your web application. Include whatever features you feel are appropriate to the application and completable by the deadline.

• Put all of your files in a directory called webapp4, and call your main page index.py. Your main page should give access to your project's features, and should also include a link to your readme file (see next item).

• Include in your webapp4 directory a readme.html or readme.pdf file. This readme file should contain:

  • A short description of your project as it ended up. This can be similar to your web-app-plan.pdf from the start of this project, but with a change of perspective: you now know what the project actually does, so you can list only those features, and you don't need to include mockups (unless you think a screenshot would help describe the project).
  • Citation(s) for the source from which you obtained your data. This should include links to the data, links to the page (if any) on which the data are described, and links or quotes from any relevant licensing text.
  • A short discussion of how your project's features and goals changed since you wrote your web-app-plan.pdf.
  • A short list of information that would have been helpful to you had you had it earlier in the development process.

• If you wrote programs to do data importation (e.g. conversion from a tab-delimited file to MySQL statements or something like that) or any other task not actually in the web application itself, include your source files in your webapp4 directory.

• Put your CREATE TABLE statements in a file called webapp4/tables.sql

• Every source file should include its authors' names and a brief description of the purpose of the file in a comment at the top of the file.

I'll be using this rubric to grade your project.

Have fun!
