This repository will hold my final year project. The web project will be developed with ASP.NET. The project contains the entire project all bundled up, and I have chosen to not split project up into APIs and a front-facing application, solely due to the context that having multiple APIs set up is costly during development (I do have localhost) but I like to have them published for testing in main/production.

The application will only be used by the client, literally. I doubt there'd be a need to split the project up into separate applications/APIs because no external parties would use them (any time soon 😉). For the time being, I've chosen to bundle them up. If there'd be a need in the future, it shouldn't be too difficult to split the application up because the project is relatively small.

The Aston Interactive Media (AIM) Lab is home to a variety of interesting technology, much of which can be signed out on loan by research staff/students working within the lab. This project will design and build - with the AIM Lab Director as the client - an online inventory system that will keep track of equipment - spec, purchase date, warranty expiration, the date for evergreening, etc. - and will also encompass a sign-out mechanism under the control of the AIM Lab Director such that staff and students can sign-out, under agreed terms and conditions, equipment from the lab and thus the whereabouts of any given item be carefully monitored. Co-requisite modules: CS3410; CS3160

• Adobe XD Frontend Mockups
  • These mockups may evolve and change in the future
  • These mockups are not artboard-connected for animations, but are just rough artboards. After clicking on the link to the Adobe XD mockups, click on the grid icon (4-square icon) in the top-left corner of the page to view all artboards
• Documents
  • Contains a list of documents and deliverables to manage tasks, requirement elicitation, system/architecture/software specifications, analysis, etc.

Unfortunately, if you have not been given access to login credentials, you will be unable to use the system. Please refer to the design mockups to get a rough overview of the system instead.
