construct a modern web application with dynamic features using the latest web technologies and Microsoft ASP.NET MVC as the back-end framework.

Scenario You are approached by a client who requests to implement their business idea, an ads-free blog website. You have worked with this client before and you have created a first design, which she pitched to investors and got just enough development funds for a cost-efficient website. The investor’s technical advisor also told her, that websites like these should be implemented using the most modern approaches in web development and in particular he gave her a list of potential technologies. Your client does not understand this list, and she is happy for you to choose which technology to use, however, she feels that she needs to be able to justify her choices, and to lean more about dynamic websites and the underlining frameworks, databases and protocols. The client has given you the application’s requirements and the list of technologies she wants to learn more about, as suggested by the investor’s technical advisor. Application Requirements You are asked to write a blogging online application, boasting the following key functionality: 1. Ability to create user accounts a. User accounts should hold the following information: i. Username ii. Password iii. E-mail iv. List of blogs created/owned by that user b. Username, password and e-mail are fields required at creation time. Client-side and server-side validation should be present c. Users should be able to delete blogs they created 2. Some users may be Administrators who can: a. Delete users b. Delete blogs c. Delete keywords d. Ability to “approve” blogs for posting. (no blog should be posted without administrator approval) 3. There must be 1 pre-configured Administrator with a hard-coded username and password 4. A feature to allow users to create blogs with the following information: a. Title b. Content c. List of keywords, pre-populated with existing ones but also with ability to create new ones (see keywords) 5. A list of keywords which will be: a. Populated while users create new blogs with keywords b. Approved when administrators approve the blog entry c. Once approved, keywords should become available for assigning to any user’s blog 6. The latest approved blog entry should be displayed to the front-page of the application to anyone who visits the page (registered user or not) 7. Each entry should be accompanied with a list of maximum three similar articles, who have at least one common keyword. This can be displayed anywhere on the screen, as long as it is clearly visible 8. A way to navigate blog entries serially should be provided (e.g. with a previous/next button) 9. The application must be excellently presented, with good design and style 10. The application must be optimised for low bandwidth mobile users, wherever that is possible without compromising aesthetic merit. a. This feature will be deemed satisfactory if loading of blog content and similar links happens through AJAX/JSON 11. The front-page should boast elements of a responsive/adaptive interface, although it should not be specifically optimised for these. a. The minimum requirement for this is the blogs being readable in mobile phones and tablets b. Other features (users/admins/deleting blogs etc) do not have to be compatible with mobile phones and tablets 12. The database should be pre-loaded with mock blogs and keywords, done via code every time the model changes 13. The application should be deployed on Microsoft Windows Azure
