ECS 162 Assignment 4
Please submit by midnight, Friday May 11, using Canvas.
We will accept submissions by teams of at most three.
Everyone in the team should submit the same files, and
will get the same grade.
In this assignment we'll do some of the back-end Web server work that will get
us ready for
the flashier parts of our World Heritage Sites app.
- First, we will set up a server that can handle both static and dynamic queries.
Instructions are here.
Be sure your server can serve the static pages to get
testWHS.html from it's /public directory.
-
Next, we'll change this starter app so that the browser does not have
to know the urls of the images; the idea is that in the final version of the
app, the urls and tags will be kept in a database on the server.
We'll add the database next week, but for now let's just get the
list of URLs over to the server, and orchestrate the AJAX request
to get one by index number.
Here are some detailed instructions.
-
If you want to get a jump on the
next part of the project,
take a look!
-
Finally, for those who would like to do their own design of the app,
here is some
information on how the
app should function, including some rough sketches of how the main
features of the
user interface should work.
You may submit a series of detailed mock-ups,
similar to what Dana has been providing.
Please submit, on Canvas, also by Friday May 11.
Also include a
brief README describing your design decisions.
If you want to change how the app works
(for instance, not implementing autocomplete for some
very good reason) contact me to make sure your plan is OK.
What to turn in
Hand in your server, SnDserver.js, and your modified browser code
in testWHS.js, using Canvas, by midnight on the 11th.
