Saudade is a website created for a fictional company that allows you to purchase “dreams” as if they were movies or TV series, to be used with the neural chip created by the company. In addition to dreams, it is possible to book an appointment to implant the chip, the style of the site is a mix between a classic e-commerce and a review site, such as 'rottentomatoes.com', where you can leave and consult reviews on a particular film
The project must be carried out by groups of 4 people. The submission of the project in the February session (and only for the February session) includes two bonus points, to be added to the grade obtained in the project ONLY if the project is evaluated as sufficient overall (>= 18). The grade obtained with the submission of the project remains valid for the entire academic year, or until September 30, 2024. The written exam must be passed by the same date. If the project is evaluated as insufficient or if the grade obtained is not satisfactory, it is necessary to redo the entire project, starting from scratch and without reusing code used in the project already submitted. In case of suspected copying, the teachers will call the students of the group(s) for an oral exam. In case of refusal, the project is automatically evaluated as insufficient. The teachers reserve the right to request, at their discretion, additional oral exams from the groups and/or individuals.
- The website must be created with the HTML5 standard. The pages must degrade elegantly and must respect the XML syntax;
- the layout must be created with pure CSS (CSS2 or CSS3);
- The use of Flex and Grid layouts, if developed correctly and used reasonably, are evaluated very positively;
- the website must respect the complete separation between content, presentation and behavior;
- the website must be accessible to all categories of users;
- the website must organize its contents so that they can be easily found by any user;
- the website must contain pages that use PHP scripts to collect and publish data entered by users (the possibility of modifying and deleting the data itself must also be developed);
- among the inputs requested from the user there must be at least one free text field;
- there must be a form of control of the input entered by the user, both client-side and server-side;
- the data entered by users must be saved in a database;
- it is preferable that the database is in normal form.
The project must be accompanied by a report that illustrates the design, implementation and testing phases and highlights the role played by the individual members of the group.
An initial analysis of the characteristics of the users that the site aims to reach and the possible searches on search engines to which the site must respond is required. Furthermore, the actions taken to improve the site's ranking must be indicated.
Web pages must be accessible regardless of the browser and the screen size of the users' devices. Considerations regarding different devices (where possible) will be evaluated positively.
Failure to comply with even one of these specifications will result in the project not being sufficient.
