Final Project - Part 1

Project Overview

The purpose of this project is to work as a team and build a complete web project that will allow for some degree of user-interaction. The first step in any project successful is to properly plan out a roadmap to follow.

Although, on the surface, this part of the project seems simple and straight forward, keep in mind that the decisions you make during this part will come back to affect your final product. The point is to construct a solid, well thought out foundation on which to build.

Unlike previous projects, this one will be something new, starting from scratch. You will be expected to use all of the skills and knowledge gained up until this point. As we progress as a class, you will be introduced to new programming tools and techniques to help you build your projects.

Most importantly, this project is supposed to be fun while teaching you real-world technical skills. With that in mind, please take care to choose interesting subject matter so that you can create something to be proud of and be able to show off to peers.
