Portfolio Roadmap

This roadmap prioritizes improvements that increase employer-facing impact.

Phase 1: Reliability and developer experience

  • Add validation for duplicate schedule entries and duplicate student records.
  • Add safer error messages in UI (replace silent stack traces in user paths).
  • Add reproducible local setup with scripts (completed in this repo refresh).

Phase 2: Testability and code quality

  • Introduce unit tests for query classes with a disposable Derby test database.
  • Split MainFrame into smaller UI/controller classes.
  • Centralize constants for status flags and SQL strings.

Phase 3: Product polish

  • Modernize Swing styling and UX copy.
  • Add screenshot/GIF walkthrough to README.
  • Add export capability (CSV/PDF) for schedule and roster views.

Phase 4: Advanced portfolio upgrades

  • Migrate to layered architecture (service + repository + UI).
  • Add REST API mode alongside desktop UI.
  • Introduce authentication roles (admin vs student login).

Recommended showcase narrative

“I inherited a course scheduling desktop app and turned it into a production-style portfolio project by improving setup automation, architecture docs, runtime configurability, and maintainability.”
