Description
Objectives:
-
To practice Java GUI using Swing
Book Store Application
In this homework, we will be creating a software for a small bookstore in the neighborhood. The manager of the bookstore needs a computer program to keep record of the inventory and the rented books. The program should be able to perform the following operations:
-
Display a list of all of the books in the store (full information) [20 points]
-
Search a book by title and show the details of a particular book (title, author, number of pages, publisher, year, copies in the inventory, category) [20 points]
-
Rent a book [20 points]
-
Display a list of all of the bookstore’s customers (full information) [20 points]
-
Search a customer by name and display the details of a particular customer (firstname, lastname, email address, phone number, physical address) [20 points]
-
Display a list of all of the books rented by a particular customer – by last name
-
Display the names and authors of the books [bonus +20 points]

You should decide the required/useful components to include.
-
Assume, I am your customer and don’t have a CS background. Thus, you shouldn’t expect detailed information from me. Additionally, you need to design a simple and effective GUI that I can use
-
Your homework will be graded by the functionality. Firstly, create something that is working without any issue, then you can improve/beautify the GUI.
-
It is your task to identify the necessary classes, attributes and methods.
