Week5 concept idea & web application technologies

In this week, we divided into different groups in this week，and I join a group which focus on the concept “Dream”.  This concept is a web application which provides a virtual space for exploring and sharing dreams. In the team discussion, we found one problem which is how to create more interactivity between user and the data which come from Trove， because we were not sure what kind of interaction is suitable for our concept. After that, I came up an idea which is user can create a dream by search key word and get a list of data (image) from Trove, then user select data and add it into the new dream, and different image combine to a unique dream. Finally, each related dream will automatically connect together.

 

Main interaction

According to the lecture, we have thinking about which kind of web application technologies will used for implement the concept. For the client side, we going to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript to build the front end, include the interface for dream “map” and main function for create new dream, we may using API to get the data, after user selection, the dream data will stored into database, then we need to use PHP and MySQL to make this happen.
