ECA Project
The project was again split into two halves. The first half required a report to your customer by demonstrating the benefits of scripted interaction for customers, together with four specific pages to demonstrate e-commerce functionality. Non - technical.
The second half required provision of an internal report, to fellow developers; providing, detailing and justifying your implementation for the customer.
