General plan (described in the implementation order):

• Design a database scheme with the following entities:
  • Album
  • Slide
  • Photo
  • User
  • Order
• Develop models based on the DB scheme:
  • User (one-to-many connection with Album and Order entities)
  • Album (one-to-many connection with Slide entity)
  • Slide (one-to-many connection with Photo entity)
  • Photo (contains the Link and the Caption)
  • Order
• Create and run simple tests for models
• Designing the following templates and elementary logic:
  • Welcome screen
  • Registration (results into creating a new User instance)
  • Login (checks credentials and changes the state of the user)
  • Dashboard which contains the album list and order history (renders all Album and Order instances created by the current User)
  • Album viewer (Renders the Slide instances of the current Album in a specific order)
  • Album editor (Renders the Slide instances of the current Album in a specific order and allows changes to both current Album instance and Slide instances)
  • Order placement (results into creating a new Order instance)
  • Profile editor (changes the User instance fields)
• Designing the templates for albums slides
• Developing the back-end logic including the following features:
  • User's authentication (login, logout, register)
  • Automatic e-mailing (registration confirmation, order confirmation, etc)
  • Album logic (create, delete, edit, share, etc)
  • Order logic (create, pay, finalize, cancel)
  • Social media sharing
• Create and run tests for the back-end logic
• Design improvements (Twitter Bootstrap)
• Additional logic:
  • 3rd party login
  • AJAX
  • Flickr API integration

Project milestones:

• The first version of models is ready for testing: January 15th
• Templates are ready and tested to work with the models and the elementary logic is implemented and tested: January 23rd
• All the logic is implemented: February 5th
• Additional logic is implemented and the design is improved: February 11th
