Below stated are some guidelines that will help you developing the web interface for FANDANGOOSE!

• Start Early! This part of the project will need quite a lot of time. Do not keep everything for the last day.
  
  
• Read the description given for the project part carefully.
  
  
• Create the file create.script that contains the CREATE TABLE statements for all relational schemas in your database. Apply the foreign key constraints.
  
  
• Try out some sample php files that do a minimal amount of work. This will give you an idea how php works before you get into more detailed analysis.
  
  
• Design the framework for your website for FANDANGOOSE keeping in mind the requirements stated.
  
  
• Start developing the html files step by step. Develop the corresponding php files associated with each html page.
  
  
• Do not put in much effort for making the website appear jazzy. You can always do that at the end if you have time. Make sure you complete the functionality required first.
  
  
• Grading will be done for the the functionality stated, not for the appearance of the website.
  
  

Important Information for having your project graded

• Your project will be graded through a demo during lab hours.  
• The project is due on March 11th, so the grading begins during lab hours on March 13 (Thursday 1.30pm - 3.00pm) and March 14 (3.00pm - 5.00pm) at Ming Ong PC.
  
• Steps you should take:
• Each one of you needs to be registered for  a 10 minute slot for the demonstration.
• Send an email to deepa@soe.ucsc.edu to inform her on which day (March 13 or March 14) you would like to demo your project.
  Deepa will assign time slots to the students who are registered with her through email. It is your responsibility to send her an email to ensure you get a time slot. You will receive no marks for this project if you do not register for a timeslot to demo your project. As it would be difficult to fit everyone in the two lab sections, be prepared to receive a timeslot that may extend beyond lab hours on Friday.
• If your schedule conflicts with the lab timings, please state your preference for Friday since the lab session for friday will be slightly extended to accomodate all demos. Be sure to specify the time for Friday when you will be free.
• Since we have only a limited amount of time, it is your responsibility to have your demo up and running at the beginning of your assigned timeslot. Points will be deducted otherwise. If time is wasted during your slot to set up your demo, you will have less time for the grader to look through the rest of your implementation which may result in less points for you. 
• If you prefer to have a demo on your personal computer that you used to develop your website, the same guidelines above apply: Make sure that everything is set up correctly before your timeslot.
  

Important Deadlines:

• March 6th 2003: For sending in an email to register your slots. Keep in mind that the slots will be registered on a first come first serve basis. There will be a limited number of slots given for Thursday and we will be extending the lab session on Friday. The subject for your email should say: CMPS180 TIME SLOT REQUEST.
  
  
• March 11th 2003: Turn in your project files as specified on the project description.
  
  
• March 13th & 14th 2003: Demo your project.

Please keep in mind that these are hard deadlines. They will be strictly enforced.
