Individual Software Development Project
A project requiring the construction of a software system (specification, user
interface design, system design, realization of system design and associated
testing)
A three-tiered web based application designed in Visual Studio using C# which
collated student attendance rates within CS Lectures and displayed these in a
simplistic, dashboard-style interface.
