Project Overview
Original Assignment: Objectives: (1) To practice event-driven programming using Java-based GUIs. (2) To refresh your basic Java skills. (3) To simulate (albeit at a very high-level) an enterprise application. Description: Develop a Java application that creates a standalone GUI application that simulates an e-store. We’ll call our store Nile Dot Com… we’re not quite as big as Amazon.com! The application will allow the user to place in stock items into a shopping cart and once all items are included, total all costs (including tax), produce an invoice, and append a transaction log file.
Reimagined Project: While working as a cashier, I noticed the store's interface closely resembled the logic of the GUI I had built in CNT4714. I wanted to take the opportunity to redesign the GUI from the class project to recreate the cashier interface we use at work. I used Figma to get the rightidea of the cashier interface design. The final design was then implemented in the Java application, resulting in a polished and effective GUI reminiscent of the cashier system from work.
