Cloud Based Social Network for Local Communities |
| | Abstract | The purpose of this report is to describe and present a social network, which is specially targeted at local communities. The reason behind targeting local communities is because having a good relationship with ones neighbors is a good way to get social interaction, a sense of security and to share resources. All of which are things that are practiced in a decreasing extent, since the uprising of digital media.
In order to make the framework available for as many people as possible, it were developed in HTML, JavaScript and PHP. Due to the increased use of both tablets and mobiles, which are sometimes on rather slow mobile connections, it was designed as a single-page application with the use of the libraries KnockoutJS and SammyJS.
Even though the product was not finished at the point of hand-in, there are still a lot of positives, especially the server, which is almost fully functional and ready for servicing a lot of local communities. Even though this social network is not the direct solution to the problems, it can still make an impact in training people towards getting some good habits, which can ultimately lead to better life quality. | | Type | Bachelor thesis [Academic thesis] | | Year | 2014 | | Publisher | Technical University of Denmark, Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science | | Address | Richard Petersens Plads, Building 324, DK-2800 Kgs.
