Project 3 is a team project. I will allow you to propose a team with 2-4 students, along with a project proposal. The goal is that you use a collaborative process to create a unique system that you design and build. The teams and project scope may be modified by the instructor.
You will have two general choices for this project:
- Develop a Art Social network
- Develop a multiuser web game.
The project will require you to use the following technologies:
- HTML, CSS
- Javascript, Jquery
- One or more of C++, Python, Node.js
- MySQL

Art Social Network
Here is a link to the dump of a database of over 66,000 works of art: art.sql. The file is on jimskon.com at /home/class/SoftDev/art.sql. You should be able to load the database directly form this file.
The database includes the following fields for each work (with example):
- Author: AACHEN, Hans von
- Born-Diec: b. 1552, Köln, d. 1615, Praha
- Title: Allegory
- Date: 1598

- URL:
- Form: painting
- Type: mythological

Your goal is to design and build a simple art social network. The basic idea is that people can create a profile, and then browse the art, commenting, giving up or down votes, or whatever you decide. The idea is that it is a space for be people to explore and discuss art.
