Sample Chapter Organization

To minimize the learning curve, each sample chapter follows the same format. The format moves sequentially from a particular problem through the design, development, and deployment of the solution.

Each sample application chapter is organized to mirror a classic project development cycle:

• Problem Description Explains the business problem that is to be solved by the application.

• Requirements Outlines the parameters of the solution. Any special restrictions or features would be mentioned here.

• System Design Explains the various components of the final deliverable product and how they will work together.

• Implementation Notes Gives a step-by-step narration of the development process, including tips, tricks, and traps of the trade.

• Deployment Covers the practical details of how to set up the solution in a real-life environment.

• Conclusions Summarizes how the techniques used for the project could be applied to other problems.
