Node.js

/in /by

Using Node.js, write a simple online store with whatever it is that youre interested in. The main page should display a list of products on offer with an option of adding each product to the shopping cart. From the main page the user can also decide to checkout and is then transferred to the checkout view which presents his/her shopping cart where each product can be removed from the cart. The whole purchase can be either cancelled (which simply clears the shopping cart) or finalized (which permanently removes the products from the list). In either case, the user is redirected to the main page and an appropriate message is displayed. If the purchase is unsuccessful (e.g., one of the products was bought by another user in the meantime), the user should be redirected back to the shopping cart page with an appropriate message. The shopping cart view also allows the user to simply go back to the main page.
The products should be stored in a database (e.g., MySQL, MongoDb). Heres a link that should help with that. A single table (e.g., products) with a single column (e.g., name) is sufficient, but you can obviously play around with it a bit more if you want to (id, image, description, quantity, etc.). When executing queries with parameters, make sure to use data binding rather than simply concatenating the parameters with the query string. If you dont know why, read this.
The users do not need to be identified in any other way than through session, so theres no need to write the register/login functionality. New session = new user. Session should also be used to store the shopping cart. Once a product is added to the cart it is not removed from the list other users can still see it and add to their carts. It is only after the purchase is finalized that the products are removed. Keep that in mind when testing your application! Watch out for cases when two users have some of the same items in their baskets and both want to finalize the purchase (critical section).
You can use a templating engine like EJS introduced in the presentation or one of many other compatible with express.
Remember to use the HTTP protocol correctly!  Test your website thoroughly to make sure everything works as it should: refresh the page after finalization and adding to cart, use the browsers back and forward buttons. Also, dont forget to use the POST REDIRECT GET pattern (redirecting in express is extremely easy simply call res.redirect instead of res.send and thats it)!
Potentially useful modules include: express, express-session, ejs, body-parser, mysql/mongodb.

Analyze 4 pieces of artwork 2 you like 2 you dislike

/in /by

Follow the instructions given by my prof. I will attach the document that needs to be edited, here are the instructions given to me by my prof. that you should follow.

So, first off, you listed a painting title that is different than the one that you actually talked about, so be sure to fix that. Crude in art usually refers to something from the stone age or earlier when people did not yet fully understand how to represent the natural world or didnt have the tools to do so (but even in that case, the word crude is considered overly pejorative in modern scholarship). So, saying that a painting by Leonardo is crude, is not a great word choice.

Also, the section where you discuss the white creature, is problematic. For one, the animal is called an ermine, so be sure to say that. Next, if you are going to mention a scholars theory, you must cite your source. Additionally, as a student in an intro class, you dont really have the authority to say that a well-accepted art historical theory is untrue. However, you can say that this symbolism does not carry over into modern times. Be sure to more thoroughly discuss the theory. Why would a white ermine be symbolic of royalty and purity?

Now, moving on to the description of the woman, I dont see the phallic appearance of the face (and am not sure that a face really even can look phallic). I also dont see any sloppiness to the posture. Additionally, when you are describing her, be a little more careful. Try to describe the image in a manner that is more neutral first, then criticize after you have finished describing the image. It gives you more credibility as a writer and shows you have respect for a master artist.

My biggest issue with this section of your paper though is that you are suggesting that Leonardo was not the artist of this work. Where did that theory come from? It seems like you are saying that because Leonardo was definitely a homosexual, there is no way that he could ever paint a beautiful woman.

First of all, we dont have real proof of that Leonardo was a homosexual. We know he was accused of sodomy as a young man, but those charges were dropped and we know that he was most likely celibate for the majority of his life. Nothing from his journals, diaries, letters, or poetry prove or even suggest that he had relationships with men. Nor do any of the biographies written about him by the people who knew him. There are modern historians who theorize that he was a homosexual, but these theories have not been completely accepted or proven.

Additionally, sexuality during the Renaissance was much more fluid than we tend to think, so the idea of someone being a homosexual is complicated (this is a very interesting topic, but too complex to get into here).

But, regardless of what his sexual preferences were, the logic of your assertion is flawed. You argue that Leonardo could not have painted this image because the woman is beautiful and he was a homosexual. There have been many gay artists throughout history (Im sure many more than we will ever know about), but just because they prefer men as their sexual partners, that does not mean that they are unable to paint a beautiful image of a woman.

When scholars say that a work was done by Leonardo, its because they have done a huge amount of testing on and studying of the image. They are very careful with that assertion because its such a big deal to find one of his works. To date, they have only classified 36 paintings as his or coming from his workshop. So again, you dont really have the authority to say that these scholars, who have dedicated their lives to identifying Leonardos works, are wrong.
