Overview
The purpose of the project is to use most of the techniques you have learned from this course. You may choose any project as long as it meets the requirements discussed below.
The project must be a real application in the sense that the site must be hosted somewhere on the Internet. You can either arrange your own hosting or use WebHawks.
You are free to apply homework assignments toward the final project. However, the final project must be work that you have produced and not material simply copied from another source. If you do copy small portions from another source, you must cite the source and have permission to copy the material.
The final project presentation will count as the final exam for the course. You must demonstrate your completed project to the instructor during the scheduled final exam time to pass the course.
