Frontend/Interface

The ‘V’ = View of MVC Model

Backend Design

M – Model

C – Controller

of MVC design pattern

System Design Pattern

Technique for translating relational entity to object oriented entity.

Hides the complexity of SQL statement

Doctrine:

Object/relational abstraction layer for PHP5. Symfony MVC Framework integrates Doctrine seamlessly as it’s ORM

Day to day communication

Social Network in Business

Social Network for user pattern studies

Social Network in cultural analysis

Social Networks generating real time contents

Browser Compatibility◦ Renders bad on Internet Explorer 6 (IE6), this needs improvement

More Interactive GUI design Enhanced Security via encryption Picture/audio and video uploads Search Engine Optimization Mobile Device Support Short Messaging Service (SMS) Facility to users Events/User Group creation Deployment over Internet

Problems Faced :

◦ Database Model became larger and larger when we were working on development. It would be better to brainstorm and discuss first on all the overall database design requirement and propose a final Data Model.

◦ Design changed over and over again during development time. The best idea would be to work on required output design at initial phase of the development

◦ Working on MVC pattern should be best followed in the order M (Model Development), V (View/Interface Design) & C (Controller Management)

Still, We Learned:

◦ Different system development methodologies/tools◦ Project management ◦ Software Development tools◦ Database Development◦ Group working

Former projects/reports

Internet ◦ Google ◦ Symfony Project Web Site◦ Doctrine PHP ORM Web Site ◦ MySQL Dev Web Site◦ PHP.NET web site
