OBJECTIVES

• Create a Restaurant Locator application by building upon the Locator Application lab.

ABOVE & BEYOND

• Duplicate your code to create a Bar Locator
  • The original project must be the Restaurant Locator - you cannot swap the two.
  • These two should be separate, however they could have a common starting page to allow you to choose Restaurant or Bar
     

REQUIREMENTS

• Create a Restaurant Locator application
  • Research 20 of the most popular restaurants in the West Lafayette / Lafayette area.
    • Find their:
      • Name
      • Address
      • Phone Number
      • Fax or email if they have one
      • Web address
      • Logo
    • Generate a map (using mapquest or other similar mapping software)
      • Show the location of the restaurant on the map
    • Generate driving directions from Ross-Ade stadium
      • Provide the driving directions from Ross-Ade to the Restaurant
      • Note the distance from Ross-Ade stadium - to be used later
    • Generate classifications for their food items - for searching
       
  • The pages should be constrained to 220 pixels wide.
     
  • You should utilize controls that have been taught up to this point, including DeviceSpecific and Choice.
     
  • Searching
    • Allow the user to search by Restaurant name.
    • Allow the user to search by food classification
      • i.e.: american, mexican, chinese, italian, etc. (add others as you see fit)
    • Allow the user to search by location
      • i.e.: Lafayette, West Lafayette
    • Allow the user to search by distance from Ross-Ade
      • You can store the distances in your database for easy utilization
      • i.e.: locate restaurants within 1 mile, within 2 miles, within 10 miles, etc.
         
  • Usability
    • The application must be easy to use and intuitive with a common navigation structure.
       
  • Aesthetics
    • A level of aesthetics indicative of Seniors in CGT is expected on this project. Poor aesthetics will be rewarded appropriately.
       
  • Create a SQL subdirectory in your project2 folder.
    • You can modify the existing DB if you choose to.
    • You must save the final SQL script (.sql) (whether modified or unmodified) in the SQL folder.
      • If you modify the DB, you must provide the correct SQL script for those modifications.
         
  • Code-Behind
    • All C# should reside in the .cs Code-Behind files.
       
       

DELIVERABLES

You are to deliver the following copies of the project:

1. One finished copy in your share space on the server. Do not modify the files after the due date/time. We will check the timestamp.
2. Send a professional email to your instructor containing:
   • Your full name
   • Your course number
   • Link to your project (so that it opens in a web browser)

GRADING CRITERIA

If the project is not functional (does not work), then your project grade starts at 50%. This is a professional project; our company will not accept partial work. Late work will not be accepted. (In the real world, you would not get paid for a project you did not complete. In our world, you start at 50%)

• 30% Aesthetics & Usability
  • (Professional, originality, creativity, navigation, usability, etc.)
     
• 60% Coding, Logic, & Efficiency
  • (Does not crash, most efficient programming method, proper indentation, neatness, free from errors, correct logic, security, follows typical coding standards, apparent planning, etc.)
     
• 10% Commenting
  • (In general, one line of comment per line of code)
  
  Total Possible Points: 100
