Projects

WeatherFinder (Python) 

For this project I made a weather application that will ask the user to input a city, anywhere in the world. It will then make use of an API and display the in depth weather break down for that day, making use of a custom made GUI.

To-Do List (Java) 

This application uses file reading and writing to create and save a file by the users custom username. It can display the users tasks, sorted by importance or date, and add new tasks to the list. This application also deals with error handling and will not crash if the user enters an incorrect input. 

Coffee Kiosk (Java) 

This project was intended for a small coffee shop. It simulates the a cart and the user is able to add customizable beverages and mugs to by using an array list of objects. Once the order is finished, the program will display every thing that has been put into the cart, along with the price and correct MN state tax added on.
