This project shouldn't be very difficult for an experienced ASP/ASP.net coder with a Microsoft SQL Server background. We are modifying an existing IIS6/ASP application to add some additional functionality. The navigation system and all artwork (graphics/icons) already exist.
We will provide complete specifications in the form of Requirements and Use-case details for this project, as well as expected screen-design mockups where appropriate.
The 1st enhancement is to add a simple scheduling component to track rooms, resources, and instructor's schedules for an existing school-oriented application. Approximately 2 existing ASP pages will be modified, about 5 new database tables will be needed, and about 5 new ASP.Net (C#) pages will be added. Viewing schedules by calendar (day, week, and month) will be required, as well as creating HTML scheduling reports, and making queries to search for scheduling conflicts or search for open dates for resources.
The 2nd enhancement is to modify the same school-oriented application to add planning capabilities for student courses. This will be about 15 simple new screens (many of which are partially complete) for configuration and viewing student's course progress and goals. The database design is already complete. All new screens will be written in ASP.net and C#.
## Deliverables
This site is slowly being migrated from ASP to ASP.net. We would like as much code as practical to be developed in ASP.net/C#.
The specification (not completed - in progress now) for Enhancement #2 is included in the .Zip file. It should give you a very good idea of the scope of changes involved for this portion of the project. (We are only expecting Phase I, Iteration 1 to be completed in this project.)
We will provide a public testing server and database where all changes and enhancements may be tested.
We are looking for the following deliverables:
1) SQL scripts for all Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database changes - these scripts should be intelligent enough to detect if new tables alrady exist and any change needs to be performed before making the change so that the script may be re-run on any database at any time without generating errors.
2) ASP code changes, along with a brief document outlining which modules have been changed. We will integrate and test the changes manually before publishing to the existing site.
3) All source code required to compile ASP.net/C# pages as well as source to any assembly DLL's involved.
4) Use of n-tier architecture patterns highly encouraged. For ASP.net/C#, we prefer using strongly-typed datasets (XSD's) for data-layer SQL Server access.
5) Adherence to our existing coding standards highly encouraged (for ASP.net/C#, we adhere to the coding standards recommended my Microsoft as much as possible.)
6) Unit testing in latest version of NUnit for any new component (that is practical to test) highly encouraged. We would like the source code to all unit tests and be able to replicate the test results before going into production.
7) Regular updates during the development process.
8) Use of any third-party controls or libraries must be approved by us in advance. We would prefer not to rely on any third party controls, but for the right developer, we are flexible on this point.
Additionally, the following standard suggested RentACoder terms apply:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
