Server Programming

To complete other objectives within my project, I would also need to learn and create server-based programming. This would allow visitors to input and save information to the website. I chose to explore Ruby on Rails, a relatively new and popular programming language for serverside programming of web applications. A complete web site would be built to host the project.

It would contain features which would allow me to manage content, receive comments, and publish news and events about my project and artwork beyond just my term as a student at the

university. The web application framework created for this project, while nearly invisible, represents a major portion of my work, and my abilities have expanded greatly over the past three years.
