Good day.

A small group of students consisting of myself and three others are planning to create an online hotel reservation system for one of our group member's acquaintances. The proposed system would be part of our requirements in our major. As such, we would like to prepare methods and plans that we can use for the creation of the system.

However, this would be the first time we would be making such application. As of now, we only have a concept of what we'll do. We're still not sure on what programming language would we use and what components would we include in the finished product.


Can you guys give us tips on what we should do in order to make a successful system? Like what programming language can we use and sites that we can visit for reference.

Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest starting from Google!

There are three tangibles:

0) A database

1) A web service to access the database

2) A web site to access the web service

There are several intangibles

0) Security

1) Platform (HTML/ PHP, ASP.Net, Silverlight)

2) Programming language

IMHO, you'd be better off going with all MS technologies. Simply put, there's a broader range of experience to tap into, many more examples of how to do things, and the tools (and their most basic level) are essentially free.

I would go with SQL Server, C#, and ASP.Net.

I second that...
You need to figure out (amongst yourself) whether you would be comfortable in a particular programming language first. If yes, you should consider choosing that.

You should also look at whether you want your system to be web based or a standalone application (your GUI could play a part). You need to decide which database you can use - you should be clear on the budget you can spend before choosing your development tools.

You also need to figure out what O.S. your application should run on....

It's a web app - the OS is inconsequential.
