Zhanar, Nate, Alec,
Here is an idea which is emerging that I think will be appreciated and we can hopefully all get behind.
The three programmers of this course will work as a team to create the Website for EnergyFellowship.org
I have reserved the domain name, and now have to activate the site for our use. The cost for a year is $59.70 for non-profits, and the school can cover that cost - both from tech dept. funds as a resource for the class.
Start to visualize what would be possible for this site. I see the front and back end support for the following:
A graphical presentation that matches the goals of the Energy Fellowship
A moderated online forum for members to contribute and discuss ideas by topic.
Links and material relating to the Energy Fellowship
The database of information behind the structure of the website.
We should strive to use the JAVA language that we are studying for some of the presentation material, as well as use PHP and Flash for some of the content.
If successful, the ongoing project and code should be well documented so the 'torch' may be passed to other students and/or members to monitor and use.
Please review the three different possible backend systems to see which will be best to sign up for. It can be switched later, but often problematic to do so. In other words, if we start off with a LINUX environment, there would be many code changes to support the material in Windows.
Here is the link to the company we are using and info about the Silver Plan for $59.70 that we would use. This link lists the languages that are supported and some other bandwidth info. I THINK they will let us use a LINUX site for the same price, but not 100% if that has changed.
Here is a current link to the Energy Fellowship page... it presents some things but nowhere near the possibilities....
Richard.
