Project: GREWZ

GREWZ is a desktop address book application used for teaching Software Engineering principles. The user interacts with it using a CLI, and it has a GUI created with JavaFX. It is written in Java, and has about 10 kLoC.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Implemented add/remove task feature of GREWZ
    • What it does: allows the user to add new tasks as well as remove existing tasks
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because teaching assistants need to micromanage multiple things at the same time and the app should provide a convenient way for them to keep track of the things that need to be done.
    • Highlights: It required an in-depth analysis of design alternatives. The implementation is such that different types of specialized tasks could be extended from it.
