Student Views and Reviews: Sun on Campus

Aadhar Mittal, Campus Ambassador from Delhi University, India, developed a website to help keep track of all the student competitions that take place worldwide. It can be used by both administrators and participants, to handle the lists and schedules of sub-events, judges, volunteers, participants, etc.  In his review he talks about Web design, the tools he used (i.e. MySQL, GlassFish, and NetBeans), compares and contrasts them with other products, and highlights their pro's and con's. He also emphasizes what a great learning experience this project was.

Kolli Bharath, Campus Ambassador from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, India, a self-proclaimed MySQL connoisseur and avid user, blogs about his passion for the product, and his experience as a new GlassFish user.  His application enables users to interact socially and share useful information such as documents, texts, and links of up to 30MB with peers. It also supports semantic search.

Tejesh Morla, from University of Illinois at Springfield, USA wrote a very in-depth, visually aided blog entry that details the steps he took to develop his application and how he used MySQL and GlassFisg to do so.  His project is a basic Web application that responds to: customers' need to register on a site to place and view orders, and the administrators' need to  view and list all registered customers.  He believes MySQL is the best database server because it is easy to understand and implement, and very flexible.
