Each participant is
supposed to
understand the scope
and deliverables, as
proposed by the
mentor conducting
the workshop.
Club Membership
Management is a rich
internet application
created to promote
the facilities
offered by a Sports
Club. It consists of
two main parts:
Both of them are
developed completely
using Silverlight
with no HTML. XAML
Controls of
Silverlight were
chosen for their
richness and feature
set, and for their
full Silverlight 4
support.
The interactive web
site includes a
number of pages,
offering details
about the membership
registration, the
available
facilities, as well
as contact
information along
with an interactive
map which allows
users to easily find
their way to the
Club by typing their
current location.
There is also an
iPhone like image
gallery utilizing
the CoverFlow
control, a
Registration form
and a guest book
where member can
give their feedback.
The member data
management system
includes a data
service which allows
users to add, delete
and update member
detail. It
integrates a tree
view and a grid
control, so that
when a tree view
item is selected,
its content is
displayed in the
grid. The membership
management system
also includes a
business entities
management section
where users can add,
delete and update
data objects from
the web site.
Activities
The mentor has to be
equipped with
relevant activities
that will need to be
conducted during the
workshops, as a way
of experimenting
with an idea, a
concept, or
understanding of
specific
technological
aspect.
It is also
recommended that the
mentor have the
solutions to such
activities, and has
tried out the same
on a group in a
simulated/test
environment, thereby
ensuring the
effectiveness.
