WK3 Course Project

The Week 3 Assignment should consist of the following section:

Interface and Processing Required (2–3 pages) What does your user interface look like? What components are required? Are there buttons, dropdown menus, labels, and so on? How is database data presented—as a table or a form? Is the application available from the home page, or do users have to navigate to it? What does your navigation structure look like, and what colors are featured on the site? Make sure to include a mock-up of your main interface screen. This can be done in a tool such as Visio, or you can create it by dragging and dropping components inside Visual Studio and then creating a screenshot. Hand-drawn sketches are not acceptable in your final report.

What is the main processing routine required by your site? Describe it in detail and include a chart showing the input, processing, and output (IPO). You should probably make this in Visio, but any other drawing tool is fine as well if it can create the required shapes. As an example, imagine adding customer information to a database. The input required includes a first name, a last name, a zip code, an e-mail address, and so on. The processing that needs to occur is that the system needs to check whether or not that customer already exists, and if the data that they have entered is valid (e.g., zip code can't equal "Mars"). If all is well, the information gets entered into the database. The output generated would be a confirmation that the address was successfully added, or a rejection of the submission. Remember to always provide output to your users, it lets them know the results of their interaction with your system, even if it's a simple yes/no answer. Note that here you need to describe the main processing routine for your system.

Best Practices

· Page counts are outlined in each assignment milestone.

· Assignments should follow APA format (title page, in-text citations, reference page, font type/size, spacing, paragraph indentation, etc.).

· Do not use clip art anywhere in the assignments, not even on the cover page.

· No more than two spelling or grammar mistakes are allowed throughout the entire paper. More than this will result in a point deduction.

· Incorporate feedback from your instructor into future assignments and the final project.

· Do not leave any isolated headings at the bottom of a page.

· Adhere to Standard Edited American English.
