Console Sneaker App

Overview

Console Sneaker App modeled core sneaker marketplace behavior in a CLI environment, including product lookup, persistence, and user actions backed by a real relational database.

What I Learned

I learned how to design cleaner software structure around a live data model, coordinate application logic with database behavior, and solve implementation issues through iterative debugging with a partner.

What I Accomplished

I helped build a working marketplace-style console application with persistent MySQL data, secure connectivity, and practical backend workflows that mirrored real system behavior.

Comp Sci Learning Goals

• Understood software design by organizing backend logic, data access, and program flow into a maintainable application.
• Gained significant project experience in a group setting through paired development, shared debugging, and joint delivery.
• Developed effective problem solving skills by troubleshooting database access, connection issues, and application behavior.

University Wide Leaning Goals

• Critical Thinking: evaluated how program design and database structure affected functionality and reliability.
• Creativity: translated a marketplace concept into a practical command-line product workflow.
• Collaboration: worked closely with a partner to divide tasks, debug faster, and align implementation decisions.
• Communication: explained design choices and implementation progress clearly while coordinating shared work.
• Global Responsibility: built with attention to dependable system behavior and user-facing data integrity.

Execution Timeline

Week one focused on infrastructure setup and secure DB access. Weeks two and three focused on query logic, behavior validation, and final refinement.
