The answer to an unanswered question...

Les, you asked me a question last week about the project that my group had to do using SDLC. You were wondering if it was in academic or real-world environment. Well, initially it was supposed to be created for academic purposes. However, that changed after we started considering areas of interest. Our project was done right after Hurricane Katrina and we all wanted to do something. We knew that there were other people that wanted to help that couldn't pack up and go to New Orleans. So, we focused our site on letting people know how they could help! We had a person writing code, another researching organizations that were helping, others conducting surveys of their peers. During the implementation stages, we all used our coding skills to embed different sites and pictures that we thought would be of interest to our visitors. The finished product was a success! We received an A, and our page was posted on the school website so that everyone could know how to help!
