The Registration server application

I have set up a back-end server application at the URL

http://cmsc106.net/Registration

This application will serve up information about events taking place in the Math Department and allow users to register to participate in an event.

This back end server responds to four different requests:

Method	URL	Description
GET	/people	Returns a list of people in the system
GET	/events	Returns a list of events in the system
POST	/registrations	Registers one person for one event
GET	/events/{id}/people	Returns a list of people for an event

More detailed information about each of these requests is available at

Building a front end

Over the rest of this week I am going to be building a front end for this system in class. I will be demonstrating the process I typically go through to plan and build a JavaScript application.

The front end I am planning will be a single page application that has three sections:

• The first section will display a list of people and events. The user will select their name from the list of people and the event they are interested in and then click a "Show Details" button that moves them to the second section.
• The second section will show the full details of the event they selected. If the user is interested in registering for the event they can click a "Register" button which will upload their registration to the server and move them to the third section.
• The third section will display a list of people who are currently registered for the event.

When I have completed the front end I will post the source code for the front end to the course web site.
