We want to create a multipurpose seating web.
The administrative portion is where our super users can either define a location as a numbers of rows, with a number of seats in each ( ie a cinema/concert lokale). The other option they have should be a much more flexible “seating” arrangement. Here we want the superuser to be able to upload an image and then draw places (ie a camping place).
The user portion is either a simple page with all the rows of seats drawn or a view of the image with the drawn places overlaid. The user should then be able to choose a number of “tickets” and select places. For the fixed map, we want the tickets to be sticky (ie if you choose 3, they should be seated besides each other if possible).
My question is what is the best technology to create something like this in? We were hoping mvc + jquery could be a good solution, but we are also looking on silverlight (or flash).
If we where to use html/jquery, how would you implement it?
SVG is the way to go. So your fronted stack would be

Don’t use Silverlight or Flash. There’s no need, they’ll exclude iOS and perform poorly on mobile browsers that do support them.
