When clicking on a category with lots of books, it freezes up the page while fetching the books. This is because we used synchronous requests. We had to use synchronous because Prof. Hallouche would just be running these from his desktop, async. requests did not work with file://

When you click the second circle on the slideshow it does not move to the next slide. You have to click the third and then click back on the second.

We need to refactor A LOT a lot of the work was done the night before the deadline, so we cut a lot of corners.

In the CIS255 class we could only do client side stuff (as we were not supposed to know server-side stuff yet). It would have been a terrible pain entering all the books directly into the markup, so we wrote a python script to crawl B &N's website, grab some book data, plop it into a database. We had the restriction on no server side stuff so we just plopped the data into a massive JSON file.

Keep the database. Write some PHP to toss JSON to the JS. Little code needs changing for this.

We also need to give the book store more functionality. Cart, etc.

Make it more sexy like. I'm pondering using Twitter Bootstrap:
