LOB application case study: applying what we have learned
With the purpose of applying theoretical concepts, the contents of this book are accompanied by the implementation of an LOB application. In this case, it is an application intended for office space reservations. We have chosen this kind of application, as it includes the following features:
- It contains master-detail relationships.
- It's implemented as a real project, using best practices (MVVM pattern based, unit testing, and so on). It allows us to implement a standard management application interface, as well as a more advanced one (Bing Maps integration).
- It incorporates user roles (administrator/average user).
At the end of every chapter, we will implement the most significant parts of this app. You can see a map of the site we are going to create in the following figure:
The details of every window can be seen in the following screenshots:
- My reservations and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) reservations:
- Choose building:
- CRUD floors:
- CRUD rooms:
