Class Project

The class project is due on May 20th at 11:59pm (you can submit it via e-mail or else implement on your own server and just send me the PHP code and SQL data export used in your pages). The project starter package is online as travel_project.zip. In there you will find code for a turtle tracking application that provides dynamic data from a travel database. You are encouraged to add your own data to the database in the format provided by the travel.sql file within the starter archive. You can then decide on what mapping visuals you would like to use for your project (we will try Google maps together). The AJAX calling URL needs to be changed within the scripts/turtle.js file if you are not using the MAMP localhost:8889 default as your domain.

Note there are static examples of using a map at http://bdcampbell.net/javascript/turtle/turtle.html and an example of using a 3-D globe at http://bdcampbell.net/javascript/turtle/on_globe/. Be sure to discuss the project with your classmates and me (either in class or via the CE Link Forum). Enjoy!

The bottom line is that the project in this class should work together well for your personal learning purposes. We all come to this class with different skills and experiences so I won't attempt to suggest we all do the same project.
