Substantial Content

You must demonstrate in class that your eCommerce web site has
substantial content.  By substantial, the rule of thumb is that you
have 100 items in your database.

Content should include, at a minimum, a color picture of the item (if
that is feasible), a description of the item, and pricing for the
item.  The content must be uploaded to your server, and be in a form
that it can be easily used by a CGI program.

For a catalog merchant, this would probably mean 100 products that are
for sale.  Some type of search function would be used to identify
products of interest to the customer, and cgi (probably) would be used
to present this products.  Alternately, there could be 100 web pages,
each customized for an individual product, that could be provided as
links from a CGI search results page.

For an educational organization, this would mean 100 courses.  For a
pizza company, this would mean 100 toppings, sizes, crust
alternatives, etc.  Well, for pizza 100 might be too many.  For Burger
King (Have it Your Way (TM)) there are about a dozen alternatives:
tomatoes yes/no, mayonaise yes/no, onions yes/no, etc.  But then there
are always shakes, fries, soft drinks, here or to go, etc.  Shoot for
100 items and have a good reason if you fall short.

It is not necessary to have CGI working to demonstrate the 100 items.
CGI would be the best way to demonstrate it, but you can simply show
each of the 100 web pages, or get into the database and dump the 100
items to the screen.
