css475 ====== University of Washington | Bothell - Fall 2015 Course: CSS 475 - CSS 475 Database Systems Instructor: Dr. Erika Parsons Course Description: Methods for obtaining requirements and designing database systems; differences between hierarchical, relational, and network database designs; techniques for designing and coding effective reporting procedures. =============================================================================== The TrainGame is a collaborative class project between Brett Holman, Zakk Roberts, and myself. As a concept, TrainGame is based off of a real game that I play in a model railroading club and I had a strong personal interest in seeing the manual aspects of it become automated. Special emphasis was placed on table normalization and thorough testing for this project. Major Deliverables: -- A comprehensive development manual -- A live project presentation -- A console app demonstrating basic gameplay and database interactions -- Entity and Relationship Model Diagrams -- A fully featured MySQL database with custom views, functions, triggers, and stored procedures for common tasks.
