This assignment will give you an opportunity to build an interactive web application using CGI programming or Java Servlets. You may work with a partner if the project is complex enough. If you work with a partner, turn in one write-up with both names and be sure to describe who did which parts of the project.

The project you select should involve some type of web application that requires either file input/output or the inclusion of live content (e.g. weather data, stock reports, calendar information) in a web page. In either case it is expected that your application will make use of dynamically created web pages.

If your application runs on elvis, I would like to post a copy of your working application on the CIS 525 course page. Please e-mail me a zipped copy of your application and any related media files or give me a floppy diskette containing your application. All web references should be written assuming that all files required by your application reside in the same web directory. If your application will not run on elvis, please give the the URL information so I may test its functionality for myself.

Your write-up should include relevant output from your application, commented source listings of the html and any script files used to implement the web pages, and a 2-3 page memo describing the design and functionality of your application.
