Totally not Gumtree

Goal: Create a web application in Spark with Hibernate/Java back end.

MVP

You are required to write a web application for a company listing classified ads. The company would like to give users of their site the ability to create and post adverts to their listings. Adverts should require a Title, Description, category and asking price.

Users should be able to:

• View adverts posted by users.
• View all adverts in a category.
• Create and post adverts to specific categories.
• Delete their own adverts.

Project Extensions

• Post comments on adverts.

What's Goin' On News have asked you to build a web application to allow them to upload the latest Scottish news.

For the front end of the website, users should be able to:

(Each Article might have a headline, summary paragraph, and the full story - and any other fields you want to add.)

Project Extensions

• Search for articles where the title includes a particular search term
• Filter articles by journalist
• Filter articles by category, which can be added by SGNN
• Track how many times an article has been read, and display a list of most popular articles
• Paginate your article list - display a certain number of articles per page, with a page number, and navigation to go to the next and previous page

And other any extensions you would like to add.

• Allow a customer to book a table at the restaurant for a particular time and date
• Update a booking, for example if the customer wants to change a booking time
• Display a list of bookings for a given date
• Display a list of customers ordered by frequency of visits

Project Extensions:

• Calculate how much a customer has spent over a given period of time
• Give discounts to frequent customers
• Whatever features you think would be beneficial to a restaurant

Do What You Like

If none of the other project ideas float your ⛵️, you can take on a project of your own.

Your project must meet the following specification:

• It must be a Hibernate / Spark web app
• It must contain a number of associations between classes - one to many, many to many etc.
• It must contain some custom logic - this could be filtering, sorting etc.
• As with the other projects, it must not contain any JavaScript or use any other frameworks.

Before you start this project, write an MVP and potential extensions. You must get this signed off by an instructor before proceeding.

General Rules (Applies to ALL projects)

• DO NOT USE ANY FRAMEWORKS - this includes Java Swing and similar packages. If in any doubt ask an instructor.
• There will still be stand-up at 9.15am every morning (10am on Friday) - you are still expected to be in every day during the project.
• If you have an idea for a project outwith the specs defined above then please discuss this with the instructors before going ahead.

PDA Reminder

Remember to gather evidence for your PDA this week. This should only take 5 minutes:

• Go to your PDA Checklist

• Submit your PDA evidence (screenshots, etc.) to your own PDA repo
