Assessment brief |
|
Your task is to develop a web application that will serve as an interactive hub for the University’s dining facilities. This could include restaurants, cafes, dining halls, or other food and drink services available on the university campus. Although it is not necessary to fully realise the application, some essential features should be coded and thoroughly documented, along with plans for future functionalities. Your submission should incorporate: § An explanation of the core objectives of your application and its guiding design and development principles. § A detailed description of how data will be stored, retrieved, manipulated, and managed within your application. § Source code or pseudo code for features that you have implemented, and the ones planned for future development. § A discussion on how your application adheres to, or will adhere to, best programming practices. In the course of your answer, consider both written content and source code, providing explanatory context to any functional elements included. You should also consider various aspects of software development, such as testing methodologies, documentation, design flows, and problem-solving strategies. IT IS MANDATORY FOR ALL SOURCE CODE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE APPENDIX AS PLAIN TEXT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR MARKING. |
