A reimagining of a simple class project with improved UI and vastly expanded features

Originally a movie rating C# desktop application developed for a software design class, MovieRecommenderFX began as a JavaFX learning project but eventually expanded greatly over the original, providing:

  • Substantilly more movie information
  • A better user interface
  • Better password security
  • A social media aspect, allowing users to interact

A Learning Project

Developing an application like this is excellent experience towards learning:

  • JavaFX 8, an excellent way for developing cross-platform desktop applications
  • Java concurrency, since a desktop application like this requires multiple threads working in tandem
  • Java networking, since a movie app requires constant updating with online resources
  • Java REST APIs, since this represents the best way of getting information from the web
