Abstract
Off Campus Tigers (OCT) is a web-application. OCT will be developed in Sublime Text and written using Ruby on Rails (with SQLite installed for the back-end database), JavaScript, and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML5). OCT allows DePauw students to help each other find restaurants in the Greencastle area. When using OCT, users can access the website and view restaurant reviews without signing into their free OCT account. Users can navigate using the navigation bar that will list the following pages: About, Contact, Restaurants, and a freeform search engine bar. Users can search restaurants by name, location, and type of food. Users can also sign up for their own accounts, which includes their personal information, such as name, address, phone number, and email. Once a user signs up, they can sign in to access their old reviews and edit them, create new reviews, or search for restaurants. For any type of restaurant, users can add attributes, such as an open-ended description, a link if there is a homepage, a star rating, and the location. Off Campus Tigers is student-friendly and provides ideas on where to go for a night on the town or a group dinner date, anywhere and anytime.
