In this project, I’ve designed and implemented a Hotel Reservation Application. This application allows customers to find and book hotel rooms based on availability. Through this project, I aim to demonstrate my abilities in designing classes using object-oriented programming (OOP), organizing and processing data with collections, and utilizing common Java types.
The major components of the Hotel Reservation Application consists of the following:
- CLI for the User Interface - I have used the Command Line Interface (CLI). This means, Java monitors the CLI for user input, allowing users to enter commands to search for available rooms, book rooms, and perform other actions.
- Java code - The second main component is the Java code itself, here I have implemented the business logic for the application.
- Java collections - Finally, I’ve used Java collections for in-memory storage of the data we need for the app, such as the users' names, room availability, and so on.
Let's talk about the structure or architecture of the application. The app is separated into the following layers:
- User interface (UI), includes a main menu for the users who want to book a room, and an admin menu for administrative functions.
- Resources, acts as our Application Programming Interface (API) to our UI.
- Services, communicates with our resources, and each other, to build the business logic necessary to provide feedback to our UI.
- Data models, is used to represent the domain that we're using within the system (e.g., rooms, reservations, and customers).
