Info

I developed an MP3 music player application. It used the Windows Media Player COM control for playing MP3 music files, and a 3rd party extension (library) for reading and editing MP3 ID3 tags. I developed all other features of app. The MP3 music player played music from a playlist. The user could add music to the playlist from the music library. The music library was stored in a searchable Microsoft Access database. The user could also search and download music from a companion server application that I also developed.

Professional Issues

October 2005 – December 2005

In this team project, we analysed & evaluated Professional Issues for a hypothetical IT system: a thumbprint based ID system for schools.
