Introduction

Purpose of This Project

Problems in Today's Rating Systems and Our Solution

Technical Details

  • Web Application: ASP.NET MVC 4(C#), jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, Less, WCF Web Service( MSSQL Server Express Edition )
  • iPhone Application : iOS6 Tabbed View Application (Objective-C), AFNetworking, SVGeocoder,MBProgressHUD, WCF Web Service( MSSQL Server Express Edition )
  • Web Service : Written in C#, JSON as response, Stored Procedures for connections.

Web Application

In our Web Application, our focus point is creating a simple and user-friendly environment for the users. The purpose of the web application is simple, showing the nearby places to the users when they login to our website. The users have a chance to change the location, search for places, check the top places in United States, rate the places, rate the drinks and read the comments.

  • For the web part of Drink Rating System we are using a powerful framework created by Microsoft called as MVC 4 framework. It is a model view controller framework which creates a powerful environment to work on.
  • For retrieving data to our application from our Web Service, we are using jQuery ( which is a light-weight framework for this purposes ) to get the JSON response and use it in our application.
  • For the design issues, we used Twitter Bootstrap components and also used Less for editing CSS of Twitter Bootstrap framework.
  • For getting the location, we are using Google's Map Services.

iPhone Application

Just like our Web Application, in our iPhone Application you can do everything which are possible in our Web Application. The power of our Web Service provides us this functionality to use the data in any platform we want.

  • For the development of iPhone Application, we are using Xcode as our IDE.
  • The iPhone Application requires at least iOS6 to run.
  • Tabbed View Controller and Navigation View Controllers are used together to provide an user-friendly experience to our users.
  • To consume our Web Service, we are using AFNetworking framework to deserialize JSON response.
  • For Location Services, we are using SVGeocoder to provide accurate location.

Web Service (WCF)

Our Web Service is the heart of our project. Since we are dealing with database and lots of data, we were in need of a Web Service. For this reason we created our WCF RestFul API to provide reliable data to our Applications.
