For this lab you will be creating a web application that will allow people to ask and answer questions. The application should allow anyone who comes to the site to post questions in any of the predefined subject areas that are available. Anyone who would like can also come to the site, view questions on any subject and provides their answer to the question.
The subject areas should be defined by the site administrator. The admin user should be able to create new subjects and edit or delete existing subject. Anyone who comes to the site will be able to view the subjects that are available.
"Inside" each subject there can be any number of questions. Anyone visiting the site can view and ask questions but only the site admin can edit or delete questions.
Each question can have any number of answers provided for it. Again, anyone visiting the site can view or provide answers to questions but only the site admin can edit or delete answers.
For the lab, please setup the admin account with username "admin" and password "admin" so that I will be able to check the admin functionality of your lab when I grade it.
All appropriate validations should be performed. The site should look presentable and should be easy for a visitor and the administrator to use.
