It’s a desktop management application built for Associazione NoiSea of the Linate Airport.
It features:
- Associate management (CRUD)
- Agreement generation and printing
Goal
The aim is to build a desktop application which allows for associate management and the automatic generation of documents available for printing. The generation works with the associate data already stored within the system.
Resources
I had to deliver a finished product in two weeks. I picked Java and the Swing UI toolkit because of my familiarity with those technologies. I also selected the MySQL relational database system to store the associate data.
Timeline
The main milestones I accomplished were:

- Development
Design
I designed a simple yet effective user interface that allowed the administrative staff to insert and update information about associates. It offered support for registering services and printing pre-filled documents.
Development

- E/R schema and logical schema definition
- Database configuration and data importing
- User interface assembly
- Business logic assembly, which included:
- CRUD operations
- Document printing operation
- Bundling
Result
I submitted the project on time, which satisfied all the business requirements.
