ITMG 440 Final Project

Contents:

Description

In this final project, you are required to develop a web based application that allows a user to interact with your site and perform transactions with a database back-end component. You have complete creative freedom in selecting your area of application. 

Each person will be required to present their project to the rest of the class at the end of the semester.

Before you invest a lot of work in developing the application, please get your application area and your plan of action approved by me to avoid later confusions and consternation.
