1. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
This chapter comes as close a logical series which allowed us
to develop a web portal for sustainable development.
Thus we have in this work makes use of MERISE for application
design, an implementation with PHP5, SQL, JavaScript and HTML. This means that
the breakthrough of the Internet in Cameroon provides an unprecedented way to
reach the greatest number of persons with minimal effort. Then, starting from
an elucidation of the problem from the chapter one to a literature review in
chapter two, we come to determine the method and therefore the tools to serve
us in building our portal. A Web portal we shared the results in chapter
four.
This also means that our objectives were reached. Therefore
our platform offers more than an ergonomic interface by associating the
following features:
- A news area through articles, which aims to address the
needs for clear information.
- An electronic library from which can be downloaded documents
previously posted by the administrator;
- A section containing links leading to web site offering
complementary services to our platform;
- A space for discussion or forum that aims to be a place to
share ideas and information about many topics;
- Also, our application has a user space for those who have
registered and are connected. They can exchange private messages while
consulting the directory of registered members of the portal. Our aim was to
engage maximum users of our application warrants the ability given to them to
offer content being articles, links or even documents.
- All this is happening precisely the watchful eye of the
director in his task may decide to give a simple moderator member status to
assist in the forum admin.
2. DIFFICULTIESENCOUNTERED
As in any human endeavor, difficulties were encountered at
several stages of the study. The most important are related to the delimitation
of the subject, the choice of analyses method, the choice of tools as well as
the graphic design of the application.
Sustainable development is a huge topic; the choice of
activities to implement on our portal was not easy.
Also, there is a multitude of web application analyses
approach and to sort out all these methods is a thorough exercise as the
selection of one of them.
Web programming being in constant evolution, select the tools
becomes a rather difficult task because everyone has these benefits and
disadvantages that must be taken into account.
Graphic design meanwhile proved a little more difficult in
regard to the choice of colors, the arrangement of elements of the application
in order to make an ergonomic application.
3. RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations address several points here are:
· The security of this application remains one of the
problems we have tried to include it in different parts of the application like
in form validation, in the access rights. Also security is included in
displaying data received from users (login, password).
· The functionalities of our application are complete
according to our objectives. However, many other tools could be incorporated in
this application to make it better like the use of phones.
· In terms of technique and technology employed, these
could equally be improved with: for the technique, a completely MVC (Model View
Controller) could be usedand for the technology a better integration of
AJAX.
