There should be a “user” interface to allow customers to select and purchase items (don’t worry about the payment side of things). Ideally there should also be a password-protected “owner” interface, to allow the E-shop operator to view/edit stock and pending orders. The exercise is deliberately “hard” given the short deadline, and I do not expect everyone necessarily to complete it to perfection. This will be taken into account in the marking. MARKING SCHEME:
