e-ticketing project

[patrickdrd]

Hi everyone!

Right with the start of the new year,
I'll be working on a new project (e-ticketing),
I'll be writing it from scratch...

(I've been a software engineer for the last 4 years)

What are your expreriences on such a project?
Is is going to be easy?

What should I consider?

Thanks in advance!

a ticketing project, where users, after logging in they could buy tickets for cinema, theater and sports events

If you are going to write your user-requirements and analysis like that you won't get far.

what do you mean?
I'm not the project manager!
These will be written by him, I suppose!

I just asked if someone from here had previous experience in such a project in general,
no analysis has been done yet!

Until you've gathered the requirements and have an actual problem, there's not much advice we can give.

So you want us to make a wild guess?

It could be very easy if you live in a small country like the Vatican or difficult if you service the whole of europe with hundreds of servers where people sell out an arena of 50000 or several stadiums in half an hour or less.

no, I mean from technical aspect,
for example:

I need a good graphic artist to build a nice looking interface, I need to learn SSL (haven't used it yet)...

Things like that...

I live in Athens, Greece, our largest stadium can hold 80,000 visotors.

Hi Patrickdrd,

One good place to get started with architecture is the Patterns and Practices site (

http://msdn.microsoft.com/practices/)

Definitely find a good graphic artist and web design guru. It's one thing to write solid code, and another entirely to create a visually compelling, well-thought-out Web site.

Get an idea of users' preferences. Take a look at existing best-of-breed ticketing services and glean the components that make them successful.

And always, ALWAYS, begin at the database layer and design a rock-solid, high-performance, scalable DB model.

Have fun and good luck!
