XML
Applications
Final
Project
Purpose:
This
assignment is to summarize everything that we have addressed in the
XML Applications course, and provide a mechanism to demonstrate your
knowledge in a pragmatic way.
To
that end, students may discuss techniques or share ideas with other
students, but every submission must be, in entirety, the student's
own work.
What to hand in:
Your
submission may be in hardcopy format, but should also be submitted in
a “zip” file or similar archive. All files related to the final
project should be included in this zip. The student is responsible
for ensuring the completeness of the submission.
Project Requirements:
Design a website for an area of
your own interest. The site must feature the following:
The site must have two or more collections of data that are
displayed. The data displayed must be stored in XML format
The site must use a stylesheet to style the elements of the site
The site must feature one page which uses a computational
stylesheet to display statistics related to at least one of the
collections of data.
All stylesheets must be external to the document
No use of formatting tags (e.g., <B> or <FONT>)
within XHTML are allowed. All formatting must be by CSS or XSL
You may use any of the tutorials as a basis for your web site.
Your website must be properly viewable from Internet Explorer and
Firefox.
