Building an Interest and VAT Calculator: Learning Through Collaboration 

The Project Idea 💡

I teamed up with one of my classmates to develop a financial software project focused on calculating interest and Value Added Tax (VAT) accurately and efficiently using Java Programming and glassfish.

The goal was to apply our programming knowledge to a practical financial problem by building a tool that simplifies calculations and helps users obtain results more efficiently. 



Collaboration and Development 🤝

Working with a classmate gave me an opportunity to share ideas, combine our skills, and approach a real-world problem collaboratively. It also highlighted the importance of communication, teamwork, and considering different approaches when developing a software solution.

Through this collaboration, I gained valuable experience in turning an idea into a practical project while continuing to strengthen my programming and problem-solving skills.

What I Learned 

This project reinforced the importance of accuracy when working with financial calculations. Even small errors can affect the final result, making careful implementation and testing essential.

It also helped me appreciate how collaboration can support learning, encourage new ideas, and make software development a shared experience.

Looking Ahead 

I'm excited to continue improving my software development skills by building practical applications, collaborating with others, and learning from each project I undertake.

This project is another step in my journey towards becoming a well-rounded software developer, one project and one lesson at a time.

From C# Course to My First WPF POS Project

Image
  From Completing a C# Course to Building My Own POS Application How completing the C# Masterclass on Udemy pushed me to turn theory into practice. When I started learning C#, my goal was to understand the language and improve my software development skills. I enrolled in the Complete C# Masterclass on Udemy, where I spent time learning programming fundamentals and exploring concepts that would help me become a better developer. But something interesting happened after I completed the course. I found myself working on a project of my own: a Point of Sale (POS) application built with WPF and C# . GitHub Link:  https://github.com/Codedeveloper-MT/Frencies-POS-System.git I didn't want my learning journey to end with a certificate. I wanted to see whether I could take the concepts I had learned and use them to solve a practical problem. Why I Decided to Build a POS System I wanted to challenge myself by building an application that went beyond simple exercises from a course. A Poi...

I Thought Java Was Cool, Until I Started Learning C#!

Image
I always thought Java was cool, but now that I’ve started learning C#, I’m beginning to realise just how interesting this language is!  There’s something exciting about exploring a new programming language and discovering different ways to write code and solve problems. I’m currently taking a C# course on Udemy, and honestly, I’m enjoying the learning process. One of the best things I’ve been learning about is the Agile methodology and how it is used in software development. I’m learning that programming is not just about writing code; it’s also about planning, teamwork, testing, getting feedback, and continuously improving the software. As someone who has worked with Java, learning C# is giving me a new perspective on programming. I’m still exploring, making mistakes, fixing errors, and learning something new every day. I wouldn’t say I’ve mastered C# yet, but I’m definitely enjoying the journey! Who knew learning a new programming language could be this exciting?  One lang...

Starting React: What Learning a New Technology Is Teaching Me

Image
  What I Found When Starting to Learn React My journey of learning something new as a software developer. Starting to learn a new technology can be exciting, but it can also be challenging, especially when you're already familiar with another programming language or framework. Recently, I started learning React. After spending time learning C# and applying what I learned by building my own POS application, I decided it was time to explore something new and expand my development skills. I thought learning React would be straightforward, but I quickly realised that there were things I needed to understand before I could become comfortable with it. 1. JavaScript Comes First One of the first things I realised was the importance of understanding JavaScript before diving too deeply into React. Coming from C#, I was already familiar with programming concepts such as variables, functions, classes, and object-oriented programming. However, JavaScript has its own syntax, behaviour, and way o...
