IDIA 618 - Dynamic Websites

What I really love about Erich Spencer’s course is that we get to design and develop our own project. The class is about the project, and the major assignments are the following:

1. A brief, concise written statement of project concept and scope. (Concept Document)
2. A static HTML prototype to visualize presentation and user task flow. (Static Wireframe)
3. A statement of required data entities and their attributes to communicate persistence. (Data Model)
4. A concise description of program sequences to communicate processing. (Sequence Diagram)
5. Code Elements. (Tarball of unit tests)

All of these things get packaged up into a design document and software deliverable due at the end of the course. I like it! Presumably, we have a few exercises to do, as well, but he hasn’t told us what they are yet.
