A Study in Database Driven Web Development through the Creation of -acmdev

A Study in Database Driven Web Development through the Creation of the BSU ACM Website http://www.cs.bsu.edul-acmdev an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Andrew Neville Thesis Advisor Kathleen Keil Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 Graduation; May 2004 " , ;" Abstract In the last few years, dynamic web design has started to become the norm on the Internet. Having the skills to create an effective dynamic website is essential for any up and coming web developer. This project is intended to help me learn those skills and the concepts behind them. A major portion of the project is a dynamic database driven website created for the Ball State University ACM. The other portion is an analysis of the process in which the creation of the site took me through. This includes what was required, problems encountered, and what was learned from each of what I consider to be the three steps in dynamic website construction, design, development, and coding. Also included are early rough draft site designs, a database design schema, and site structure chart. Acknowledgements -I would like to thank Mrs. Kathleen Keil for advising on this project. She was extremely helpful with design ideas and brainstorming features -I would also like to thank ACM President Trey Gourley for his cooperation and support in the creation of the site -Lastly I would like to thank John Neireiter for his proofreading and editing work. In today's wired world, a presence on the web can be the key to accessing millions of customers. Everyone on the web is trying to sell something. Some are selling a good or service, some themselves or their organizations, and yet others are simply trying to get the viewer to buy into the idea that the information or data they provide is true and accurate. But no matter what you are selling, the key to doing it successfully is to provide a website that makes people want to return. Dynamic Database Driven Websites One of the most common ways of getting people to return to a website is to have consistently fresh and new content. This is where the use of tools like database technology and dynamic server side scripting languages such as ASP and PHP can make the world a whole lot easier for the web designer. Keeping a website updated with fresh and new content does not necessarily in itself require these tools. For many basic web sites, updating can be as simple as changing a few lines of text on a page. Consider this: What if one simple update of a site required the changing of data not on one simple page, but on hundreds or thousands of pages? The task of updating the site by hand just became a huge hassle. This is where a dynamic database driven web design comes in. Dynamic websites do not have all hard coded pages. The majority of their pages are instead created on the fly as the user requests them. Therein lies the biggest difference between dynamic websites and static websites. A static page holds the data that is to be shown to the user, while a dynamic page holds the information on where to retrieve the data. For example, someone's static personal website may have their name and address in the lower right comer on each page, so they can be contacted if need be. 1 What if that person's address changed? He/She would be forced to go into every page on their site and change the address listed. In a dynamic website, every page would pull that address from a database or file and display it each time a user requested a page. Updating the address is as simple as going into the database or file and changing it there. Then each subsequent time a page tries to get that information, it will contain the new updated address. This is an overly simplified example, but it shows in clear-cut terms just how advantageous dynamic websites can be. My Creative Project For my creative project, I chose to do a case study in dynamic database design through the creation of a website for the Ball State student chapter of the Association of Computer Machinists (ACM). Through this study I wanted to learn the basic principles in the design, development, and programming of a dynamic database driven website. In the end, I wanted to have knowledge of how to effectively create this type of system, and also have a website for the ACM that could be easily maintained and updated. Target Audience The target audience for this project is for the most part the ACM student members here at Ball State. The site's audience could also include alumni, faculty, potential students, national ACM members, and others simply interested in the organization. My intention was to design the site so that computer savvy people would find it appealing, but the lay person would not find it too complex and shy away. 2 The Process As I stated before, for this project I wanted to focus on the three major steps in the creation of a dynamic database driven website: design, development, and programming. For each phase I would like to go through a little bit of what was involved, how I went about doing it, some of the problems I encountered, and what I learned from the process. Design The design process for a web development project, such as this one, is an alwayschanging entity. Throughout the entire project creation you are constantly making changes to the design and tweaking it to make it just a little bit better. The design process for this particular project really can be broken down into two parts: the look and layout of the site, and then the features it contains. The design of the look and layout of the site is of considerable importance when trying to create a successful website. If your design is too basic, you may not be able to show all of the information you need. If your design is too complex, viewers might be confused and turned away. The trick is instead to find a place somewhere in the middle, something complex yet easily understood. As I learned, this is not always an easy thing to achieve. I started my design process by sketching rough draft mock-ups of the site on scratch paper. I have included these designs in my project submission. Early on, my ideas were very basic and did not have any creati vity to them. As I started to settle more and more on elements of the design I liked, the page really started to come together. By the completion I feel as though I came out with a design that is both creative and usable. 3 The design specifically entails a logo on the top, with a menu navigation system directly below it. That header is the same on every page, giving the user a common interface in which to operate under. Under the header is each page's individual contents, centered in the user's screen. On each side of the contents, there is a dark grey shaded area. While this area may at first seem of very little importance, it actually plays a vital role in the design. When a website is viewed, the designer knows little about the environment it is being viewed in. One of the major obstacles to any web design is the way it looks on a monitor in different screen resolutions. The dark grey shaded area in my design expands and contracts based on the viewer's screen resolution, allowing the design to stay the same no matter what resolution it is viewed in. The second major portion of the design of the system was deciding on the features it would include. Dynamic scripting languages allow for a plethora of features to be added to a website. Through discussions with the ACM officers, I settled on a few features that I thought would not only be extremely useful to the organization, but also help me learn the most as well. The first feature I chose to add was a news section. The news section allows for the ACM officers to post relevant news directly to the front page of the website. My goal was for no HTML coding to be necessary. All the officer would have to do is enter some information into a form and press a submit button, and the information would be posted. The second feature was an events calendar. This operates in a similar manner to the news section. Again I wanted no HTML coding to be necessary. Instead, the 4 infonnation could be submitted via a fonn, and the corresponding date would be highlighted in the calendar. The third feature I chose was a mailing list. This is a simple concept, allowing the user to enter an email address and click the submit button. Their email address is then added to a list in the database, and they will receive subsequent ACM mailings. The fourth and final dynamic feature I chose to add was an administration section. This feature was absolutely necessary to control who posts new events, news, sends out mail to the ACM mailing list. All four of these features are common to dynamic database driven websites. Each one uses a table in the database to store infonnation when it is submitted, and then retrieves it each time a page is accessed. Throughout the entire design process, I learned one very important concept: no design is ever perfect and complete. There is always someone who thinks that the design would look better another way. There is also room for improvement, no matter how nice the initial design is. Even as I left the design phase and entered the other two phases, I was constantly going back and working on the design, trying to make it look just a little bit better. Development What I consider to be the development phase of this project is the setup of the site structure and database. The site structure I chose is nothing all that special or innovative. When the mouse is hovered over the menu at the top of the screen, that section is expanded giving more page options. I have included a site structure chart along with my project submission. 5 The design of the database was something that took a little more time. A database consists of many tables. each of which has fields (or columns) inside of them. Without getting too technical. I had to design each table and the fields that it would contain, including their data types and lengths. I spent quite a bit of time studying different data types and how best to optimize the retrieval speed of the database access. The database program I chose was MySQL. While there were other options out there I could have used, MySQL is a free database program, and it is also offered by the Computer Science Department to any CS organizations or students who want database access. Since I had never used MySQL before, getting acquainted with its commands took some research on my part. CodingIProgramming The third and final stage of this database driven website's Iifecycle was the actual coding of the dynamic pages. The creation of a dynamic website can be done in a variety of languages including ASP, PHP, JSP, PERL, and others. In the development of most dynamic sites the designer has a choice of which scripting language to use. Because the ACM website that I am creating will be on a CS server that only supports PHP, it was my only language that was feasible. Many of the specific coding techniques I used are beyond the scope of this analysis, but there is one in particular that I would like to mention. It is inevitable that someday the ACM will want to add new pages onto this site that I have created. To make this job easier, I created functions that can be called to create the shell of the 6 webpage, called tope ) and bottom(). They can be used in the following manner: tope ); //information you want displayed on the page, can be dynamic or static bottom( ); By calling the corresponding functions before and after your page information, the new designer will place his information in a template that will give it the same look as all of the rest of the pages on the site. In almost all programming, you run into many problems and hang-up points along the way. While I had my fair share of those during the programming process, I was able to find solutions or workarounds to all of them. As I worked through the coding process, I quickly learned to effectively code in PHP. Being new to the language, my first attempts resulted in inefficient code that I ultimately went back and replaced. An Easily Maintainable Site Not only did I choose this project to teach myself dynamic database driven web design, but, in the end, I also wanted the website to be something that could be easily maintained in the future by other ACM members. One way this can be achieved is through the creation of the tope ) and bottom( ) functions, which I have already mentioned. I also provided complete documentation within the code itself (known as commenting in the CS realm). This documentation should help anyone who seeks to modify the code in the future to better understand it. Along with the documentation, I also had a meeting with the ACM officers and gave them a demo of the site and how to maintain it. I feel as though where I have left the site allows for someone with prior knowledge of PHP and MySQL to come right in and make any adaptations or additions they wish. 7 Personal Thoughts Overall, this project has taught me an incredible amount about dynamic database driven web design. I learned an entirely new language, PHP, and a new database administration program, MySQL. PHP is an amazing language. It has many nice features that are included, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in dynamic web design. I also think MySQL is a tremendous free database tool. It already has become one of the industry standards and I can see why. While PHP and MySQL are great things to know, I think the biggest thing I will take away from this project is the overall process that dynamic web design includes. I learned exactly what goes into a website that could be considered minute when compared to some others such as Yahoo! or Amazon.com. I designed everything on this site from the layout to the graphics to the code. There is a tremendous amount of detail that goes into each one of these things that I did not imagine. The best part about these concepts that I learned is that they go beyond PHP and MySQL. They can be applied to any of the web scripting languages and any of the database administration tools. I learned concepts that I can carry far beyond just the life of those two tools. Conclusion Through the creation of the Association of Computer Machinists website, I have learned how powerful dynamic database driven websites can be. The Internet has not yet even reached its stride as an information medium. In the future, I see dynamic websites and dynamic web design becoming more and more of the rule on the Internet. The skills I have acquired in this project definitely give me ajumpstart into what I believe will be the wave of the future on the Net. 8 Bibliography Converse, Tim, and Joyce Park. PHP Bible.
