To Do List

Brief Description

: An individual project with Software Development Academy to create a To-Do List application.

Goals

• Use Java to create a functioning To-Do List application
  • Core functionalities: application should allow user to add tasks (with a title and due date), assign tasks to a variety of projects, view tasks (both complete and incomplete), remove tasks, edit tasks, and mark tasks as complete; tasks should be sorted by date, project, or title; the user will interact with the system via a text-based user inteface via the commandline; the user must also be able to quit the application and save the state of the to-do list to a file that can be reloaded when the app is restarted.
  • Desired "reach" functionalities: GUI and external links as desired (to Facebook events or shopping sites, e.g.)
• Create sufficient documentation
• Create design documents as needed to facilitate project

Resources

• As a very junior developer, I relied on a number of resources in building this project - I've tried to collect them below

1. link : I used this to review how to save information to files with java.nio
2. Stack Overflow : I used Stack Overflow to solve a variety of small problems
