FINAL PROJECT GUIDELINES

A significant part of your grade this semester is the creation of a full web site. What's important here is not that you finish every single detail; more importantly is providing an overall framework on which you might continue expanding on after class has been completed.

Your final project is important!

Yes, your project is worth a significant portion of your grade. So take it seriously. That being said, I want you to have fun with it. I am not concerned about what subject you choose to do it on -- it can even be a personal home page --. However, in order to formalize this, the project must at a minimum include the following:

• The use of the document object model to change element content or style
• The use of event listeners and event handlers to trigger processing or some action
• Some use of CSS
• A form to collect data
• Form field validation prior to submission
  - If you are familiar with web development on the server side, capture and store the data using a file or DB
  - If not familiar with serer-side web development, use "formProc.cgi" to capture data in a file (as discussed in session 4/5)
• The use of client side cookies or Web Storage (-5 points) to save data
• Access to previously saved data (server-side, cookies or WebStorage) and display on a different page
• The use of Asynchronous AJAX or Fetch (-5 points) to dynamically retrieve a URL or data from the server

Although this may seem like a lot, it's really not too much. (Begin work now by thinking about the overall framework/structure and idea)

I will answer questions regarding this in class.
