• Apr 22 - Assignment 10 is an individual reflection on the team project. Assignment 11 is the final self/peer evaluation for the team project. They are both INDIVIDUAL assignments, combined into one form, and are due by noon, Sunday, 4-28-24 in PDF form in Marmoset.

• Apr 7 - Team Project Milestone 3: 75% Working System, w/SQL DB is due Monday, 4-22-24. This will be a FORMAL 12-14 minute (max) team presentation/demonstration of your team’s progress since milestone 2. SQL database functionality IS REQUIRED for this milestone. A large majority of your classes, methods, test cases, and web page navigation should be implemented by milestone 3, as well. If you do not have substantial test case coverage, your team will receive a Below Expectations assessment.

• Apr 7 - Posted an extensive example project on the Resources page that incorporates the Web Applications lab solution (Lab02) with the ORM Lab solution (Lab06). It provides a web application front-end to the ORM queries, as well as demonstrates the use of login session information, and incorporation of a SQL database persistence layer with a many-to-many relationship. We will review this in more depth in class on Wednesday, 4-10-24.

• Mar 27 - Assignment 9 describes the deliverables for the individual project. Your individual project report is due Wednesday, 4-10-24, by 10:00am in PDF form in Marmoset.

• Mar 27 - Individual Project Milestone 3 is due Monday, 4-8-24. This will be your final informal (at your desk) 2-4 minute (max) in-class demonstration of your final individual project.

• Mar 27 - Lab06: ORM due date has been modified. Passing submissions received by Noon, Tuesday, 4-2-24 will receive 50% extra credit. Passing submissions received by Noon, Thursday, 4-4-24 will receive 25% extra credit. Passing submissions received by Noon, Sunday, 4-7-24 will receive full credit. You ARE allowed to work with your team members on Lab06 - BUT the submitted solution and code must be YOUR OWN.

• Mar 26 - A solution to Lab05: JDBC has been posted to the Resources page, so that you can have a common code base to work from for Lab06: ORM. No submissions for Lab05 will be accepted for credit now that the Lab05 solution has been posted.

• Mar 19 - Lab06: ORM is posted. It is due Noon, Tuesday, 4-2-24. You ARE now allowed to work with your team members on Lab06 - BUT the solution and code must be YOUR OWN.

• Mar 19 - Team Project Milestone 2: 50% Working System is due Wednesday, 3-27-24. This will be a FORMAL 12-14 minute (max) in-class team presentation/demonstration of your team’s progress since milestone 1. You are required to have some fake hard-coded data to demonstrate your basic functionality. SQL database functionality is NOT required for this milestone (but IS required for the third milestone.)

This will be a FORMAL 10-12 minute (max) in-class team presentation/demonstration of your team’s progress on your UI structure and navigation. You should have the majority of your servlets and JSPs defined, and be able to navigate between most, if not all, of your pages. Your HTML/CSS will still be in a rough state - don’t worry about making it “pretty”, focus on functionality over form. There is NO expectation for having any of your SQL database implemented or working. For the time being, if you want to persist user-entered data between your UI and your server, consider using the HTTP Session for that.

• Feb 28 - Individual Project Milestone 2: 50% Working System is due Monday, 3-18-24. This will be an informal (at your desk) 3-4 minute (max) in-class demonstration of your progress since Milestone 1.

You also MUST create and embed a PDF, PNG, or JPG version of your UML document in your Google Doc submission. Embed it in your Google doc - DO NOT LINK TO YOUR UML DIAGRAM.
