Assignment 1

Due date

• Submission: Wednesday, October 16, 2013, 11:59pm.
• Reviews: Monday, October 21, 2013, 11:59pm.

Assignment

Build a site as follows.

Mandatory:

• Users who are logged in can upload a file (image, pdf), and write a description for it. Once the file is uploaded, they are given a difficult-to-guess URL.
• People who visit that difficult-to-guess URL can view the file and its description (regardless of whether they are logged in or not).

For extra credit:

• Let users see the list of the files that they have posted, and let them edit the description, or delete the file altogether.
• Let users see how many times the files they uploaded were viewed.

Think about (don't do):

• Let logged-in users comment on the files uploaded.

Submission instructions

Pack your application as a .w2p file, by clicking on the "pack all" option in web2py, and upload it to CrowdGrader:

• This is the URL for the assignment
• This is the direct URL to submit
  • This is the direct URL to review (it will work only from 8am Thursday October 17).

You will need to log into CrowdGrader using your @ucsc.edu account. If you have problems, try to do that from an incognito window. If these URLs do not work, it is because you were not part of the class as of start of quarter, AND, you also did not sign into Piazza. So please sign into Piazza, and send an email to the instructor.

After the due date, you will have to review 5 submissions by other students. You can leave them feedback.

After the review deadline, you will be able to see your reviews. You can (and should) leave feedback for the reviewers, from -2 (the review is bogus) to +2 (the review is very helpful).

Your grade

Your grade will be determined as follows:

• 75% of the grade is determined by how your assignment is graded;
• 25% of the grade is determined by how good your reviews were. This takes into account both how precise (as compared to others) your grades were, and how helpful were your reviews.

The instructor will look at the reviews, at the code, and will do final adjustment/rescaling of the grade as needed.

Hints

You should try first to think at how to solve this problem yourself. After you do this, you can read some hints.
