This project makes use of the waterfall model for building software. The waterfall model is an example of a plan driven process. HTML, CSS, JavaScript were used for the frontend development, where HTML describes the structure of web pages, CSS describes how the HTML document’s style should be displayed and JavaScript was used to make the web page interactive. PHP and MySQL were used for the backend development, where PHP is the server side language, MySQL was used for the database management and the local host server, XAMPP was used for the development. At the end of this project, a virtual classroom system capable of hosting online lectures, sharing screen and sharing files was developed.
