Design and Implementation of Web Based Social Networking Site (A Case Study of Computer Science Students)

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF WEB BASED SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE


ABSTRACT

This project was centered on social network website. It was observed that connecting socially helps improvement of department activities. The existing problems of the school forum site were identified after series of interviews and examination of documents after which analysis was made and a computerized procedure recommended. This project will also suggest how to successfully implement the computerized procedure and to overcome the obstacle that would hinder the successful implementation of the system. The new system was designed using php and mysql. This language was chosen because of its easy syntax and features for developing online based applications.
