he main objective of the project is to expand the Monster Fitness business through the provision of online services like virtual training and meal planning on the site along with an attempt to expand the reach of the multi-level marketing program.
Monster fitness, Inc (here after MF) is a Health Fitness Centerat California established in June 2006 by a team of local Antelope Valley residents. MF offers full complement of new and innovative fitness centre which offers cardio strength training, free weight pieces of equipment that the members never need to wait to get on a machine. MF is presently looking for a software firm to redesign the existing website with additional features like games, Chat rooms, Virtual trainers, meal planners and a robust multi-level marketing system for site members. In this document we have mentioned the feature matrix and the estimation to set the ball rolling. This is not a formal proposal but a quick analysis document to start the discussion on the project.
In this document we have provided the feature list and technology architecture overview for this wedding portal.

The proposed application will be programmed in web architecture using PHP 5 and MY SQL 5 as RDBMS (LAMP architecture). Application architecture will be centralized for easy manageability. Application will be optimized for Internet Explorer 6+ but HTML 4 compliance will be preserved to ensure cross browser compatibility with other common browsers like Firefox, Safari and Netscape Navigator.
Cross browser compatibility is largely ensured through use of XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4 compliance. All application testing will be done in Firefox which has a more restrictive implementation of HTML / JavaScript and this ensures that it runs well in IE browsers too. Any cross browser issues will be debugged if they arise during module testing. Optimistic locking will be used in database operations to improve concurrent user performance. Extensive use of stored procedures will ease network traffic and database performance. The project developed in the LAMP environment. The acronym LAMP refers to a solution stack of software programs, commonly open source programs, used together to run dynamic Web sites or servers. The original expansion is as follows: Linux, referring to the operating system; Apache, the Web server; MySQL, the database management system (or database server); PHP, the programming language. Linux utilizes the latest stable kernel version. The underlying ext3 file system is a well-proven technology for both rapid recovery and protecting the integrity of the data on the server. Apache is developed and maintained by an open community of developers under the auspices of the Apache Software Foundation.
MySQL database, another robust open source tool that has revolutionized the way web pages, graphics, tables, and data sets of all sorts are served up on the web. Web-based databases in general, and MySQL in particular, have made it possible to build and present fully dynamic websites, capable of presenting content in real time. They have also helped to further the goal of separating content from formatting, speeding the load time of sites while making them far more manageable than in the past. PHP has, in just a few short years, become one of the predominant scripting languages on the web. With a relatively easy syntax and open source licensing, webmasters and developers around the world have migrated to PHP from the more difficult and syntactically challenging scripting languages like Perl. PEAR coding standards were used throughout the application.
