This is the first of three projects in the Object-Oriented Software Developer threaded project. Companies are welcome to participate in any or all terms.

Term 1: students will create a 3 to 4-page website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and node.js.

Term 2: students will deliver a desktop application, ASP.NET-driven website, with a SQL-Server database.

Term 3: students will build a Java desktop application, an Android app, and a REST service used by the Android app.

The project runs throughout the six months of the Object-Oriented Software Developer program at SAIT. The program consists of three phases covering:

1: Web Applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL, and Node.js

2: Microsoft technologies including C#, .NET, SQL-Server, ASP.NET, and MVC

3: Open Source Applications with Java, Python, REST, Oracle, IoT (with Raspberry Pi), Android, and JavaFX.

Each term is concluded with a presentation by each team of their working software to the company representatives and fellow classmates.

While the students are working on the projects they are also in-class learning new concepts and languages from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and have daily homework exercises that they do after class, so the workshop sections are done during evenings and weekends with a few days to wrap up before each presentation.

The first-term project application will need to cover the following:

1: A dynamic website using a MySQL database to deliver customized pages and capture form data. Languages required include HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and node.js (Express.js, MongoDB, template engines). This should be scaled to about 3 or 4 pages and be realistically deliverable by 3 to 4 students working evenings and weekends over a 4-week period. The database should be pre-built in MySQL and provided to the students for importing, as this is a software development program, not a DBA program. Because this section is the first one in the program the complexity should not be too high.

Companies are invited to participate in one or more project terms, and if multiple companies wish to participate we can assign teams to different companies so each will have its own deliverables. The first term runs approximately 4 weeks. The second term runs for about 7 weeks. The third term runs 12 weeks.

If you participate in all three - the deliverables consist of three applications with working source-code and implementation instructions. Since the class size is 32, and team sizes are 3 to 4 per team, there could be as many as 8 teams, so there will be one version of the application per team.
