Schedule of Laboratory Topics and Homework
The lab assignments will require knowledge of materials covered by the course lectures.
Homework assignment and its corresponding topic for each 2 hour- laboratory session topic will be released in this page.
Being a student self-managed laboratory the students are invited to consider exercises first as a homework. Then they are asked to defend their solutions against their colegues in group. Those who better know the laboratory topic should act as tutors for their colegues.

 Project Delivery
Here are the partial results
Project Work
Throughout the semester, students will be responsible for development of a project. The projects will require substantial time commitment. We expect that effort spent will help the student to gain a thorough understanding of web application development.
Project Guidelines
1. Students are invited to choose the same project application they developed in the fall semester at SDM and develop a problem statement for it as a web application. If the project topic is not adapted for web, choose your project topic from the right column of the following table not later than 2008, March 3.
Project Statement
#Project
P1. Virtual Shop
P2. Promotional Offer Management
P3. User Registration and Authorization
P4. Comment Management
P5. Shopping Cart
P6. Order and Payment Management
P7. Stock Management


2. The proposal should describe the main use cases for navigation in your site. Take into account to include in your proposal some additional pages in order to create realistic scenarios in the whole context of the project statement. Submit your proposal for approval as soon as possible.
3. Develop your site having in mind the Model 2 architecture. Use a Tomcat Web server installed in your computer for tests.
4. Document your project with UML diagrams where possible.
5. Move your site in a hosting machine with IP address.
6. Deliver the project documentation. 7.Defense your project.
Project Policy.
1.Project submissions must not include external materials (e.g., web downloads).
2. The project must be turned in on the due date. Late projects are not accepted for any reason and will receive a zero mark. We strongly recommend that students begin working on assignments early.
