Totali ProjectPresentation II

We were tasked to create a backend booking service, one that could be used for lots of different things- like cars, hotels, etc.

Unlike the previous weeks, we finally decided on a plan.

Meeting…

In week 4 we finally had a full group meeting with the client.

It was instrumental in deciding how the project would evolve over the rest of the semester.

After some careful consultation with we decided we needed a more robust database so we revamped it.

Our old database looked like this…

Working with SQL Queries

We had worked with foreign keys to link tables, but per the client’s request, we used Joins instead.

We needed a separate query for every type of operation we would need, this resulted in at least 9 query requests.

Scripts and Code Igniter

Finally, with both the tables and their corresponding queries completed it was time for the actual scripting.

The client requested we implement the scripts using a PHP library/framework called Code Igniter.

Learning code igniter was the greatest challenge as it was something we had never encountered before.
