Technical Info

Only libraries that were published by oracle were used.
Created as a learning project.
Worked on over the course of one year.
Admittedly, some of the code is pretty attrocious (Six month rule at work :D).
Feel free to ask me more about it in person. Maybe in like an interview or something ;)
