Development of A Prototype Web Shop

Abstract

Oulu University of Applied Sciences Degree Program in Information Technology Author: Kirubel Abebe Mengistu Title of thesis: Development of a Prototype Web Shop. Supervisor: Kari Laitinen Term and year of completion: Spring 2014 Number of pages: 69 This Bachelor's thesis was commissioned by a firm called “IGO Toiminimi“ and the aim of it was to develop a web application to help both the company and private users to post and advertise cars they are selling, renting or exchanging. To develop this application few technologies and tools were used. They include PHP, MySQL, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Bootstrap (to design the interface) and Sublime Text (as a source code editor). It was able to use these tools and technologies by integrating each other to give the desired output. As a result there is a working program that runs in a “localhost” server connection. Users can register and log in to the system in order to interact with the application. As it has not been tested on a real working server on a web, in future the development requires more options for the users for a better interaction with the system in a user friendly and easy way. More technologies might also need to be introduced for a faster and better outcome.
