Previous version: Salaah Times Windows Gadget

Info

All Muslim’s are obligated to offer 5 daily prayers (Salaah) during specific times of the day. This was originally developed as a Windows Sidebar Gadget to aid in meeting this obligation in 2011 (using JavaScript, XHTML & CSS), but it was rewritten as a XAML-based, C#, widget-like app, so I could learn more XAML (& LINQ). A companion converter app provides an XML prayer timetable for this app to visually display. It is currently being updated to use the MVVM design pattern.

The Lecturer provided anonymous data collected from a real bank, consisting of over 400 bank loan applications, of which some were accepted and some rejected. To train the ANN, I developed 2 apps in C#, one to prepare data for input into the ANN & another to calculate the accuracy of the ANN’s results.
