About the Project

BOOKCHEETAH is the brainchild of Lewis Muller. He and fellow James Madison University graduates Shea Munion, Matt Kattler, and Brian Armstrong wrote and submitted a business plan for the app in James Madison University’s Venture Creation Business Plan competition. Our business plan won second-place. ("Venture Creation Explores Viable Start-ups”) The app itself won the Department of Integrated Science and Technology’s Community Impact Award. Shea Munion's Senior Honors Thesis is in print at the JMU library: “Developing and integrating an online textbook trading application with Facebook platform, Amazon web services, PHP, and MySQL”.
