Nancy Belachi runs a small, high-quality private K-12 school in Watkins Glen, New York. About 25% of her 900 students are boarding students from all parts of the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world. Nancy’s accountant has recently set up a basic student tracking system using Intuit Quickbase™ (quickbase.intuit.com), a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) database system. She now wants the capability to use the Web for new students to apply for admission and pay their fees, including the initial deposit fee, which is $500 for grades K-8, and $1,000 for grades 9–12. You have been hired to help her develop a new Web site enabled with the application and registration capabilities. You have decided to use the Ruby programming language (www.ruby-lang.org), an Apache (www.apache.org) Web server, and the Quickbase™ API to accomplish your task.

Required

a. What steps will be needed to complete the task?


b. You are considering using REST (Representational State Transfer) to communicate between your Web-based Ruby application and your Quickbase™ application. Explain how this would work. Is it consistent with the Quickbase™ API?
