Social Media Web Application

Abstract

The goal of the website is to allow the users to post their experience and photos of the places they travelled to. This project was assigned to me by the company in order to help me get a better understanding of the skills that are needed in the area of website design and development. This website was supposed to be the implementation of the knowledge that we have acquired while learning web designing and development in the last four to five months. This website follows a three-tier architecture. The presentation tier is kept simple and user friendly. The main purpose of this tier is to display information and to collect information from the user. The application tier is the heart of web applications. All the information about the user collected from the presentation tier is stored and processed here. It is mainly implemented using nodejs. EJS is the templating engine used. The last tier is the data tier where information processed by the application tier is stored. Information about users such as their login ids, passwords(hashed) , likes, comments and feedback all are stored using this layer. In this website, the data tier is implemented using Mongodb(NoSQL). Mongoose is the library used.
