Your DB World Tour^® presentation

The last step of your World DB Tour project is to firm it up and present it to your audience (class).

Demo

Thursday May 1st will be D-Day (Demo Day) for both classes, in the final exam session corresponding to your class section (section 01, normally at 12:30pm, will meet at noon-2:30pm; section 02, normally at 3:30pm, will meet at 3:30pm-6pm). You should prepare a little mini walk-through of your site that takes no more than three minutes to explain. (Hint: you should practice this, and time yourself. Do not simply plan to show up on the final exam day and eject a rambling stream of consciousness as various features of your website happen to occur to you. Think it through, jot down a list of bullet points to cover, make it coherent, and explain it to your roommate or mom ahead of time to ensure it makes sense.)

After each person's three-minute demo, the entire class will be turned loose on your website for three additional minutes to add/modify/query data and to explore. (This is traditionally referred to as "the Three Minutes Of Chaos™.")

Your grade for this assignment will be based half (20XP) on the functionality you create, and half (20XP) on the lucidity of your presentation and the performance of your site during the Three Minutes Of Chaos™.

Important: other stuff

The order of demos will be determined by me, randomly, and will be displayed on the course website 10 minutes before the final exam period begins.
You must NOT visit anyone else's website until I give the go-ahead immediately after their three-minute demo. This includes snooping on their website in the hours or days preceding the final exam period. Don't be a jerk. Violators will be publicly humiliated.
You must NOT touch anything on your own website after 11am. This includes trying to sneakily improve your code in the classroom while your peers are presenting their demos. Violators will be flogged.
You must NOT deliberately try to break your fellow classmates' websites by entering strange characters, violating obvious assumptions, or doing anything else mean or nasty. Violators will be hanged.
You must NOT add any text to a classmate's website that includes profanity, sexual references, racial slurs, or anything else likely to be offensive. If someone's website supports images, you must NOT add any pornographic images or others likely to be offensive. You know what I'm talking about. Violators will be drawn and quartered.
You MUST try at least two flavors of Ben & Jerry's ice cream on D-Day. (Non-dairy alternatives will be provided.)

Prizes

At the conclusion of all the demos, we will have an anonymous class vote on the following prizes:

Best use of relational data: +4XP
Best use of Redis data: +4XP
Best use of Mongo data: +4XP
Best use of Neo4j data: +4XP
Best use of HTTP sessions: +4XP
Prettiest website: +4XP
Best overall data integration: +6XP

There will be two such votes, one at the end of each final exam period. And yes, it is possible for a student to win more than one prize.
