Neumont University Launches New Living Planet Aquarium Project

The Living Planet Aquarium website rebuild was created by students in .NET 3 at Neumont University through Neumont’s Industry Partnership program. 

As part of Neumont’s ongoing initiative to teach students through real-world projects that are used by industry leaders, the students were asked by The Living Planet Aquarium to convert their previous website from static HTML Pages and PHP to current web technologies such as  Asp .Net MVC 3, MySQL Server, Razor, and IIS. The student project team was also asked to convert the Aquarium’s external third party e-commerce system into an integrated e-commerce site using Google Checkout. 

This system enables the Aquarium to reduce their ticket processing expenses in order to dedicate more resources to maintaining, preserving, and enhancing this unique community resource. The student project team spent the five weeks building the project and met regularly with Living Planet employees to ensure a seamless integration between concept, development, and deployment.
