DairyBarn is a point-of-sale system developed for CIS 400: Object-Oriented Design. The project combines a WPF desktop application with a Razor Pages web interface, emphasizing object-oriented design, reusable architecture, and realistic business workflows.
01 · Overview
DairyBarn was designed as a complete point-of-sale system for a vendor. The goal was to create a flexible system capable of handling common sales operations while maintaining a reusable and organized architecture.
The project was developed as part of CIS 400: Object-Oriented Design at Kansas State University.
02 · My Role
From the ground up, DairyBarn was designed to be reusable and adaptable. I focused on implementing application functionality while helping structure the system around object-oriented design principles.
03 · Technology
04 · Development
A major focus of the project was software design. Rather than building only an interface, the system was structured around object-oriented programming, reusable classes, interfaces, and a defined application architecture.
UML diagrams were used to model the structure and relationships within the system throughout development. This helped translate the planned architecture into the implemented application.
05 · Reflection
DairyBarn was one of my more substantial software engineering projects because it required me to think beyond individual functions and consider how the different parts of a larger application work together.
The project strengthened my understanding of object-oriented design, software architecture, interface development, UML, and collaborative software development.
