Real World Example: The Intranet Application
I am starting a new series in this blog that creates a real world example.  Most web application requires the same things over and over again, and in every organization I worked in there is an intranet application either home grown, or some flavor of a COTS product.  So you can't get anymore real world than that.  I will use the rapid development method, so some background information will not be discussed.  Feel free to do research at the concepts that you don't understand.
