FINAL CLASS PROJECT

A significant part of your grade this semester is the delivery of a final project. Students will be expected to develop a data-driven web site. The web site will include html forms, a database component, and Python code to drive the web site. The web site need not be comprehensive, or all inclusive. The minimum requirement is to have one page to capture data from the client, and store that data in the database, and a second page to retrieve the data from the database, and to present it back to the client.

Your final project is important!

Yes, your project is important, so take it seriously. That being said, the purpose of the project is to:


1. Learn and use the web to create a data-driven web site using HTML, Python and MySQL.
2. Give you the opportunity to apply what you have learned in this class.

Your project should at minimum include:

• The creation of a web site that includes both the capture, and the presentation of data
• The design of a database (1 or 2 tables) to store data collected from the web
• A HTML form to capture and validate entered data (validation using Python)
• Validation errors should be presented on the same HTML form page
• Query of the database to retrieve and present the data (or a subset of the data) collected
• HTML and Python code to facilitate the above

Posting your project:

• Your project should be posted on the NYU web site, both the database and the Python code
• All database tables should be created within your current MySql database schema
• All Python code should be created within your current NYU web directory
• Create a folder under your web directory called "Project"
• Place all project related content in that folder, or subfolders
• Your project should start using "project.html" or "project.py"
• Your project folder/subfolder should not include index.html
• If you create a login page, create an id for me using userid: sam, and password: sam
