COS 333 Projects (Spring 2008)

These are the projects, divided by TA but otherwise in random order. If there's a catchy name I've used that, and otherwise summarized the content. An asterisk indicates the project manager. If I got anything wrong, please let me know. Feel free to discuss all aspects of projects, and to help each other out, especially if you discover something useful or figure out how to do something -- everyone benefits. I'll upgrade this list as we go along, especially if people give me more info, like url's.

I would like to post a very brief summary for each project, basically no more than a paragraph, so that everyone can see what everyone else is doing. This might be lifted from your design document, perhaps abbreviated, and maybe mentioning likely implementation tools, since I think it will be helpful if people can share what they learn about Django or Rails or PHP or Ajax.

You should contact your assigned TA to work out a schedule for weekly meetings, which begin the week after break. More information on how to get the most out of these meetings will be posted shortly.
