Course Management System (CMS)

Overview

This Course Management System (CMS) is a Java application built using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It allows users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on courses stored in a MySQL database. The application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy interaction.

Features

1. View Courses: Display a list of all courses, including their names, assigned teachers, and categories.
2. Add Course: Add a new course to the system, specifying its name, assigned teacher, and category.
3. Update Course: Modify existing course details, such as name, assigned teacher, or category.
4. Delete Course: Remove a course from the system.

Requirements

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• MySQL database server
