Hardware and Software Specification

• Server Side:

• Client Side:
  • An OS is capable of running a modern web browser which supports HTML

Tools and Technologies

Back-end:

• JAVA

  • We are using Java because it’s is a highly portable language as it must be executed through a cross-platform compatible Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

• MySQL

  • We are using MySQL because it’s a free, open-source database management system (DBMS for short). A DBMS is a system that manages databases and connects them to software.

Front-end:

• HTML5/CSS3

  • We are using HTML5 because it makes creating accessible sites easier for two main reasons: semantics and ARIA. ... ARIA is a W3C spec that is mainly used to assign specific “roles” to elements in an HTML document – essentially creating important landmarks on the page: header, footer, navigation or article, via role attributes.

• JavaScript

  • We are using Javascript because its most commonly used as a client side scripting language. This means that JavaScript code is written into an HTML page. When a user requests an HTML page with JavaScript in it, the script is sent to the browser and it's up to the browser to do something with it.

• Bootstrap

  • Bootstrap was also programmed to support both HTML5 and CSS3. Bootstrap is a free collection of tools for creating a websites and web applications. It contains HTML and CSS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions.
