Client Meeting One

I had my first meeting with my liaison to the client and I was given the official brief for my assignment, the client explained the sort of thing that they were looking for and gave me a real world example of a kiosk they liked. The kiosk they liked is situated in the Hull Maritime Museum and it has information about the service of local trawler men. I went and visited this kiosk and found it to be hard to use and it did not appear to be working properly. I agreed in my meeting to produce a proposal document by the next meeting stating what I was planning to produce. This document had to be less technical than usual as it would be given to my clients who did not have any understanding of the technology involved.

As I looked at the requirements of the clients I realised that there may be a technological problem in terms of the searchable data the client wanted. In my opinion I believe that the most appropriate way of delivering the application that the client requires involves the use of a MYSQL database, this would mean that the kiosk would need an active internet connection to work. Using an online MYSQL database would mean the data would be updatable remotely and it would also mean that an online version of this application could use the same database.
