Summary
The main goal of the thesis was to create a prototype of a web application with elements of a map social network. The application has the ability to save the location of visited places on the map, to this record the user assigns a time, with which the user can view their data in time and name. The prototype also allows the connection of information entered in the map in this way for two to three users. It contains map, database and software solutions that are fully functional. The author mastered the basic principles in the development of such a prototype application and gained valuable experience for further personal and professional development. The created application serves as the author's idea of what such an application should look like in the possibilities of a beginning programmer. All program code is available for free download from the bachelor's thesis website (http://www.geoinformatics.upol.cz/dprace/bakalarske/vit20) or in the repository at github.com/dominik-vit/maplay. It will be the author's honor if this prototype can at least partially help someone else in the development of their own projects or as inspiration. The aim of the theoretical part of the work was to conduct a market research and find and describe existing products with a similar focus, whether on a web or mobile platform, which provide elements of a social network. These products have been described in detail together with the differences from the prototype being developed. Within the theoretical part, the author designed map, database and software technologies, which are due to his experience with this work most suitable for the production environment. The aim was to compare different alternatives and recommend which ones would be the most suitable. Both from the point of view of a beginning programmer, as he was at the beginning, and from the point of view of the implementation of more advanced projects. However, it is necessary to mention that such projects tend to be solved mainly in a proprietary way, in contrast to this work. Among other things, it was to try technologies offered freely for use on the basis of free and open source software.
