Project: JobFestGo

JobFestGo is a desktop application built for job festival event planners in Singapore to manage contacts and tasks for their events.

Here’s an overview of how JobFestGo can help you with your event planning:

  • Store information about your events and their associated contacts
  • Track status of your event tasks
  • Keep track of upcoming task deadlines
  • Search for contacts by name or tag

JobFestGo incorporates both a Command Line Interface (CLI) and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to provide convenience and organisation for job festival event planners when managing their event-specific contacts and tasks.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • Code contributed: RepoSense link

  • Enhancements implemented:

    • Implemented the view_tags feature
      • What it does: Displays a list of all existing tags.
      • Justification: Improves the product by allowing users to remember contacts of a certain category that they can contact for events.
      • Highlights: This enhancement was challenging because I was not familiar with JavaFx and the codebase that handles the UI, which made debugging difficult.
    • Implemented theview_events feature
      • What it does: Displays a list of all existing events.
      • Justification: Improves the product by allowing users to remember all the events they are involved in so far.
      • Highlights: Implementation was slightly challenging due to the added complexity of conditional rendering.
    • Implemented the home feature
      • What it does: Returns to the home page from the current screen.
      • Justification: Improves the product by acting as a reset after executing other commands and users can then proceed with additional actions.
      • Highlights: Coming up with the implementation was challenging since I had to figure out how to reset all the filters for the event, contact and task list and have it be reflected in the UI.

  • Contributions to the UG:

    • Contributed to the sections related to the commands I have created, where I mainly explained how to use the commands.
    • Continuously reviewed and modified the user guide, ensuring its logical flow to eliminate potential confusion among users.
    • Done meticulous proofreading to avoid various types of errors including grammar, spelling and punctuation.
    • Dedicated time to familiarise myself with MarkBind's syntax and utilised my CSS and Bootstrap expertise to enhance the user guide's visual appeal. I incorporated custom command summary boxes, error boxes and icons that align with the theme of JobFestGo while improving the look of the warning boxes.

  • Contributions to the DG:

    • Did up the view_tags feature as well as its use-cases.
    • Did up the view_events feature as well as its use-cases.
    • Did up the home feature as well as its use-cases.
    • Added the implementation of the home feature and supplemented the explanation with UML diagrams.
    • Helped to proofread the DG and update some of the diagrams that used old command words.

  • Contributions to team-based tasks:

    • Updated the app icon.
    • Helped in the ideation and experimentation of the frontend.
    • Updated the codebase as well as the DG and UG and renamed all methods, variables etc. that previously contained Person in their name into Contact.
    • Voluntarily contributed in writing additional test cases for code that I have not authored to ensure more comprehensive test coverage.

  • Review/mentoring contributions:

    • Regularly reviewed and merged several pull requests for other team members. Some of the PRs I reviewed include:

  • Contributions beyond the project team:

    • Reviewed a different group's project during PE-D: PE-D Bugs.
