Student Management System
Course: T101 - Tele Demo Course
Created: June 25, 2025
Problem Statement
Design and implement a web-based Student Management System that allows
users to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on
student records. The frontend should be developed using React and styled with
HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap to ensure a clean and responsive user interface. The
backend should be built using Express.js, exposing RESTful API endpoints to
handle requests and interact with a MySQL database for persistent storage of
student information such as name, email, and course. The system should include
input validation, modular code organization, and follow best practices in API design
and component-based architecture.

■ 1. MySQL CRUD Operations
Overview
MySQL CRUD Operations refer to the fundamental database manipulations:
Create, Read, Update, and Delete. These operations form the backbone of data
management in many applications. In the context of our alternate Library
Management System, CRUD operations are essential for handling the lifecycle of
book records stored in a MySQL database.
Key Principles and Components
• Create: Inserting new book entries into the database.
• Read: Retrieving one or multiple book details.
• Update: Modifying existing book records.
• Delete: Removing unwanted or outdated book entries.
Why MySQL CRUD Operations Matter
These operations ensure that every book record is accurately maintained. They
are critical to ensuring data integrity and consistency, which is key when records
are constantly added, modified, or removed. The detailed operations support both
administrative decisions and user interactions.
Common Applications or Variations
• Basic CRUD in student or book management systems.
• Advanced transactions using stored procedures.
• Integration with ORMs to simplify database tasks.
How This Helps in the Alternate Example
In our Library Management System, CRUD operations allow librarians to add new
books, update details, retrieve records for checkout, and delete records of
outdated books. This modular approach ensures easy management and
scalability of the system.
■ 2. Form Validation
Overview
Form Validation is the process of checking user input to ensure data is correct
before it is processed or stored. In web applications like our alternate Library
Management System, validating input reduces errors and prevents faulty data
from entering the system.
Key Principles and Components
• Client-Side Validation: Provides immediate feedback using JavaScript or
Angular forms.
• Server-Side Validation: Checks data against business rules ensuring security.
• Regular Expressions: Validates formats like ISBN, email addresses, and phone
numbers.
• Error Messaging: Clearly informs users about inputs that need correction.
Why Form Validation Matters
It ensures that only clean and expected data is processed by the system, thereby
enhancing the reliability and security of the application. In our Library
Management System, it prevents issues such as duplicate book entries and data
corruption.
Common Applications or Variations
• Real-time input validation on forms.
• Using validation libraries to standardize rules.
• Customization for specific fields such as ISBN numbers.
How This Helps in the Alternate Example
Effective form validation in the Library Management System guarantees that all
book data entered by librarians is accurate, formatted correctly, and complete.
This minimizes errors during the CRUD operations and enhances overall user
experience.
■ 3. React State Management
Overview
React State Management involves maintaining and updating the data that
determines how components render and behave. While our alternate example
uses Angular, the principle of state management is pivotal in modern frontend
frameworks, and similar practices apply in Angular with services or state
containers.
Key Principles and Components
• Local State: Manages data within a single component.
• Global State: Shares data across multiple components using stores.
• Immutable Data Structures: Ensures predictable state changes.
• Event Handling: Updates state based on user interactions.
Why State Management Matters
Proper state management ensures that the user interface reflects the current data
accurately. In library systems, this is crucial for displaying up-to-date book
records, form validation errors, and other dynamic content.
Common Applications or Variations
• Using Redux in React for global state management.
• Leveraging Context API for smaller applications.
• Utilizing services or NgRx in Angular for centralized state management.
How This Helps in the Alternate Example
In the Library Management System, efficient state management enables dynamic
updates of book lists, instant validation feedback, and real-time UI changes when
CRUD operations are performed. This ensures a responsive and user-friendly
experience for librarians.
■ 4. RESTful API Principles
Overview
RESTful API Principles are based on the architectural style of Representational
State Transfer, designed to allow communication between client and server over
HTTP. In our alternate Library Management System, RESTful APIs are used by
the Spring Boot backend to process requests related to book records.
Key Principles and Components
• Statelessness: Each API call contains all necessary information.
• Uniform Interface: Uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and
DELETE.
• Client-Server Separation: The front-end (Angular) communicates with the
back-end independently.
• Resource-Based: Focuses on resources such as book records.
Why RESTful API Principles Matter
These principles ensure efficient, modular, and scalable communication between
the frontend and backend. They provide a framework that is widely understood
and implemented, ensuring interoperability across diverse systems.
Common Applications or Variations
• CRUD operations on resources.
• Microservices architecture implementation.
• Integration with third-party services via standardized endpoints.
How This Helps in the Alternate Example
For the Library Management System, RESTful APIs facilitate the interaction
between Angular components and Spring Boot services. They allow librarians to
perform operations such as adding, updating, and deleting book records
seamlessly, improving system performance and usability.
