Introduction


The thirst for learning, upgrading technical skills and applying the concepts in real life environment at a fast pace is what the industry demands from IT professionals today. However busy work schedules, far-flung locations, and unavailability of convenient time-slots pose as major barriers when it comes to applying the concepts into realism. And hence the need to look out for alternative means of implementation in the form of laddered approach.

The above truly pose as constraints especially for our students too! With their busy schedules, it is indeed difficult for our students to keep up with the genuine and constant need for integrated application which can be seen live especially so in the field of IT education where technology can change on the spur of a moment. Well, technology does come to our rescue at such times!!

Keeping the above in mind and in tune with our constant endeavour to use Technology in our training model, we at Aptech have thought of revolutionizing the way our students learn and implement the concepts using tools themselves by providing a live and synchronous eProject learning environment!

So what is this eProject?

eProject is a step by step learning environment that closely simulates the classroom and Lab based learning environment into actual implementation. It is a project implementation at your fingertips!! An electronic, live juncture on the machine that allows you to

Practice step by step i.e. laddered approach.
Build a larger more robust application.
Usage of certain utilities in applications designed by user.
Single program to unified code leading to a complete application.
Learn implementation of concepts in a phased manner.
Enhance skills and add value.
Work on real life projects.
Give a real life scenario and help to create applications more complicated and useful.
Mentoring through email support.


How do we start accessing the Sample eProject?

The students at the centre are expected to complete this eProject and send complete documentation with source code within the time allotted to eprojects@aptech.ac.in

Looking forward to a positive response from your end!!



Objectives of the project


The Objective of this program is to give a sample project to work on real life projects. These applications help you build a larger more robust application.


The objective is not to teach you the software’s but to provide you with a real life scenario and help you create basic applications using the tools.

You can revise the topics before you start with the project.

These programs should be done in the Lab sessions with assistance of the faculty if required.

It is very essential that a student has a clear understanding of the subject.

Kindly get back @ eprojects@aptech.ac.in in case of any doubts regarding the application or its objectives.


Problem Statement

Introduction

Our client has a passion of collecting various kinds of pictures. He is having a large collection of photographs of nature, sceneries, miscellaneous ones, and the wild animal s photographs, etc. He now wants to share his collection with every one. And so he has approached us for building the site for him, where the picture files can be uploaded, and viewed on the site (i.e., downloaded from the site). He also wants the users of the website to be able to upload the file, there by providing the facility of sharing the pictures of sceneries, miscellaneous pictures, etc. with the help of the site.

So he has approached us for helping him by building a website through which the pictures can be uploaded over the site.

Customer Requirement Specification

The customer wants the following tasks to be implemented in the website.
The menu of the website should include the following.
Home Page
Login Page or Register Page
Upload the picture files
View the picture files
Delete the picture files (the user can only delete the files
which are uploaded by him)
About the Site
Feedback
FAQ s
Contact Information
On the home page the following details are to be displayed.
The details of the new pictures that are uploaded
The details of the new users of the website (like how many have registered with the site today)
The details of the total number of users (total number of registered users of the site)
The user after registering with the site will only be able to access the site once approved by the administrator.
The administrator once approves, a mail is to be sent to the user’s mail id automatically indicating that the registration is accepted. And if the registration is declined, then also the mail is to be sent automatically to the users email id, stating that the registration is declined.
The administrator (the site owner will have the right to cancel or allow the user, once they are registered)
Only the registered users should be able to upload the file or view the file. i.e., the registered users will only be able to share the file.
Once the user logs into the site, the following menu should appear
Home Page
User Profile (Here the profile of the user is to be displayed. In this page itself the user should be able to edit the profile).
View the picture files
Upload a picture file
The picture files uploaded by me (here only the picture files uploaded by this user will be visible). In this link itself the user should be able to update or re-upload the file, and also should be able to delete the file
About the Site
Feedback
FAQ s
Contact Information
On the upload link page, the following details are to be included
The name of the picture file
The description of the picture file
Link for uploading the file
Each registered user should only be able to upload up to a maximum of 35 images. If this limit is crossed, then it should give an error message stating that the user should delete one of the files to upload a new one.
On the Feedback page, the users of the site should be able to post their feedback or their queries. The queries thus posted will then be answered by the administrator (site owner).
The FAQ s Page will have the following questions, along with their answers.
How to view the image files?
How to register with the site?
How to download the picture file?
How to upload the picture file?
How to post a Query?
Is there any limitation in uploading files?
The administrator will have the right to answer the query, view or edit or delete the FAQ s.
Standards plan:

Every code block must have comments.
The logic of the program needs to be explained. Proper documentation should be maintained.
Complete Project Report along with synopsis, code and documentation should be prepared.


Note: Don’t forget to take your data backup every day. This will save your project work from the following:
a. Virus problem
b. System failure
c. File corrupt
Data Backup is an important event to be done on regular basis in a project management.

Documentation:

No project is complete without documentation. In fact, it is one of the most important activities during the development of a project. The documentation of an ideal project will be in the form of a project report comprising of the following documents:

Certificate of Completion.
Table of Contents.
Problem Definition.
Customer Requirement Specification.
Project Plan.
E-R Diagrams.
Algorithms.
GUI Standards Document.
Interface Design Document.
Task Sheet.
Project Review and Monitoring Report.
Unit Testing Check List.
Final Check List.
Deliverables
