* On page 700 there is an example of CGI; type the program in C++ and make some part of it to work. As long as you get it to work, it's ok.

* In order to store data, on page 707 there is a function called "insert" and it writes the data to a file.

* It is very important that everyone does the programming part of the web. If you need help, you can still continue to work on it before Dr. Ebrahimi submits grades.

  - phase 1 (20 pts): Why you chose the company you selected; significance of it.

    a)  for domain names & host (5pts)

evaluation: Yes his domain name is http://www.geocities.com/manishitty/DiscoveryDayCareCenter/ and geocities is his web host.

    b) e-commerce significance/why you chose your company (5pts)

evaluation: He chose his company so he can help out the kids and parents who cannot afford ordinary child care due to cost. It would also be significant if a camera could be added to monitor child at all times. He could also add ethnic food to the menu and teach different languages.

    Our guiding principle is to help your child master the skills needed to succeed in school and in life — including a strong sense of play! Whether you're looking for a nurturing start for your infant, toddler or a preschool you'll find a well-rounded program here.

We begin with age-appropriate environments that encourage children to learn, play and explore, Books and blocks, Puppets and paper, Toys and tambourines. You name it. There are sticks for counting, seeds for planting and places for exploring. If you're a young child, you'll find an endless assortment of activities that engage your interest and stimulate your mind.

Most importantly, at the heart of every project and activity, there's a specially trained teacher and an age-appropriate curriculum to lead the way. Because children learn differently than adults. They need hands-on experiences and get-on-the-floor teachers. They need warmth and attention. They need enthusiasm and encouragement. Most of all, they need the joy and challenge of doing it themselves. Because that's what helps children learn and grow, and that's our mission at Discovery World .

Our Preschool Program is at the heart of our early childhood program. With a proven, step-by-step curriculum, we build toward and expand from a strong academic foundation with age-specific classrooms     

    c) Is it doable/feasible? Is there a company similar to what you already have? (5pts)

evaluation: Yes it is doable and feasible; and there are some other similar companies doing the same things.

    d) Is it marketable? Can you make money out of it? Is there any company that's making money from it? (5pts)

evaluation: Yes, it is marketable; unsure if there are any companies already making money from it.
