Java Application Development: Encore Movies Applet
Project Focus: Code a Java application to calculate the price of a movie outing
Contribution / Role: Application Developer
Technology / Skills: Basic JAVA Programming and TextPad
Description: This is a simple application that computes the price of a movie outing based upon a few criteria: The name of the movie, the ticket type, the number of tickets, and a modifier based upon time (Matinee).
Challenges: The challenge of this project was in the coding. Taking all the basic Java knowledge from throughout the course and creating this application based upon those skills and concepts of an object oriented language.
Reflections: Was a nice step into the realm of object oriented language development. It was made much more challenging by not using an IDE to create the application. It would have been much easier to use an IDE, such as Netbeans, to produce this application. Doing that though would have eliminated a lot challenge of this project. It was not just the coding of the project, but the full understanding of the Java concepts and skills that were learned and the application of them.
