Discuss ideas behind (a) coding and (b) deploying server-side dynamic websites, continuing what we (barely) started last week.

• You may work in a groups if you would like.
• Create a site that lets users read a few books, a page at a time.
• pages: at least
  • home ... choose a book and/or search and/or go to your current book & page
  • about ... who, what, including your tech
  • usage statistics (who, when, what summary)
• Use any reasonable (discuss in class your choices) back, front, and deploy tech - your choice.
• You will be explaining how all of it works to the rest of the class.
• 1st version : due Feb 28 ; remember users but don't need login & authentication
• 2nd version : due Mar 3; add authentication , add search (maybe), other features?

We'll have one more week after that before spring break to start talking about security, using these sites as a starting place.
