DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE BOOKSHOP SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
An online bookshop is an internet website that runs an e-commerce service where online users can access information about books, buy or rent books whenever their timing is ideal. The aim of the study is to design and implement an Online Bookshop that will recommend high rate and most reviewed book. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will save the precious time of customer and very efficient to use and enable user to buy book easily by making online payment. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that the existing system of operation has poor arrangement of books in the shop, wrong location of the bookshop and there is an inadequate record keeping of daily transactions. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The importance of this study is based on transaction changes in the operation, the cost of executing some other operations, their functions and their benefits. This project will be of immense benefit to Students, Doctors, Engineers and other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. The expected result is an electronic Online Bookshop System that will generates accurate information about each book for acquisition purpose and suggest high rated and most reviewed books to customers or researchers.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
An online bookshop is an internet website that runs an e-commerce service where online users can access information about books, buy or rent books whenever their timing is ideal. This online book selling websites helps to buy the books online with Recommendation system which is one of the stronger tools to increase profit and retaining buyer. On-line Book shopping entails buying and selling of books of all sorts with the buyer still making his choice and making the payment through the internet or through any other computer network. This pattern of trade conducted through the internet has grown extraordinarily simultaneously with wide spread use of the internet. This new trend in fact has contributed immensely to the growth of E-business and particularly in E-education. On-line Bookshop normally makes use of the World Wide Web (www) to an extent in the transaction life cycle; it also involves shopping of the physical items requested on-line.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
