ISTM 420 - TKG Burgers

For our final group project in ISTM 420, we were tasked with creating the front-end of a web application for a restaurant using the following technologies we had learned over the course of the semester:

• ASP.NET Core MVC
• HTML5
• CSS3
• jQuery

The web application did not have to contain a fully functional back-end or database system, as the primary exercise of the project was for groups to demonstrate their ability to create an aesthetically-pleasing and proper user interface for the application. The requirements for the project were as follows:

1. Design a "master page" for the entire website.
2. Use external CSS to provide appropriate styling for each web page.
3. Implement a "shopping cart" process for customers.
4. Make use of at least three (3) jQuery effects or animations.

In addition, the web application needed to include the following web pages:

• Home Page
• About Us
• Product/Service Catalog or Menu
• Shopping Cart
• Customer Account/Checkout

Our group, consisting of myself (Tanner Croom) alongside classmates Katie Hand and Garrett Jones, created a web application for the fictional restaurant TKG Burgers, located in Bryan, Texas and serving customers across the Bryan-College Station area. TKG Burgers is known for their famous burgers, chicken sandwiches, and chicken tenders, as well as their low prices to entice the significant population of college students that reside in the area.

Our web application for TKG Burgers contains a fully-functioning front-end user interface, as well as an included SQL Server back-end system to help manage the shopping cart and ordering systems. Our full project also contains a written report documenting our code.
