MIS 3501 – Data-Centric Application Development:
Challenge 1:
For this challenge each student was given a file of basic HTML code that created a webpage which included a “Product Discount Calculator.” Students then were given the instructions to improve the accessibility of the web page in order to accommodate all users.
To accomplish this task I edited the label tags for each of the input boxes by using the attribute “for” in order to connect the labels with the input fields they were associated with. This would help the disabled or even anyone who is using a small screen (smart phones) to be able to use the page effectively without complication. The finished product from this challenge can be found here.
Challenge 2-3:
For this challenge each student was given a file of HTML code that created a basic webpage. Using this code as the foundation for our webpage we were told to create a “future value calculator” that was able to tell someone how much their investment would be worth any number of years down the road.
To accomplish this task I needed to use HTML and PHP in order to create a functioning calculator. I created a “while loop” that continuously calculated the new value of the investment for each year until the end-year indicated by the user. I then embedded this loop into a table. The finished product from this challenge can be viewed here.
Challenge 4-1:
For this challenge students were given a fully functioning site that read from a database which had not been set up yet. Students were given the task of creating the database and then creating the “Category List” page which would then receive data from the database and have the option to delete categories from the database. There is an “Add Category” feature which we were told not to deal with yet, as we would explore it in another challenge.
To create this page and get it to work with the database I needed to employ PDO and a “foreach” loop to receive all of the categories from the myGuitarShop database. I also needed to include a “delete” button for each of the categories so that the user could make changes to the database right on the site. The finished product from this challenge can be found here.
