This application development project encompasses two critical aspects for CCSE (College of Computing and Software Engineering). First, it aims to create a reservation system for faculty and staff to book various physical spaces, including faculty hoteling areas, conference rooms, and specialized classrooms within the Atrium and Norton buildings at the Marietta campus. Additionally, it seeks to establish a system for faculty and students to reserve and borrow equipment from the college's inventory, such as laptops, desktops, and technical lab equipment. The goal of this project is to create a unified application for both of these reservation types. It is hosted in the CCSE Data Center on a Windows server, with the login based on the collage’s NetID system. 

The project itself is a webapp comprised of a database in MySQL to track the inventory, spaces, reservation requests for each, and users, a backend written in C# ASP.NET Core to communicate between the database and frontend, and lastly a frontend client site written in JavaScript with the Vue framework. The backend will provide a layer of security between the frontend and the database by ensuring any queries are parameterized and verified before being sent to the database. This added security will also extend to the implementation of the NetID system, by using JWTs (JSON Web Tokens) to access authenticated routes (Nick Chapsas, 2023). The team completing this task is a group of 5 IT students undertaking the project as part of a capstone course, and the languages and software stack used were up to the discretion of this team. These specific languages were chosen based primarily on each of the team members’ prior experience as well as some research into potential webapp stacks such as those provided in Visual Studio (Microsoft, 2023).
