4. CIS 764 Database Systems Engineering
(1) Your own Step-by-Step tutoral:
Requires prior approval of topic Focus on enterprise web-DB applications;    ( "better" topics should relate to the newer / emerging technologies)
You do some development / management; write web page guide with some screen snapshots 
( perhaps 15 – 25 images, cropped, readable in browser).
Next student should be able to follow your instructions to replicate
your work.
You may extend (or correct) versions of older tutorials.
(See tutorials07; several are weak.)

(4) Group project:
enterprise web-db application (see next slides),
design (“architecture” model, UML ,
page flow, page design, process model)
and “concept-prototype” implementation
(any technology , but match the design;
brief user’s guide, deployment guide;
demo snapshots of use and test)
Design suggestions: minimal features, but good usability;
( “add , but not edit” is ok;
“select” rather than “enter” is preferred)
Set up some test data.
