For our Web Programming Class we are challenged to design and develop an e-commerce system that allows users to reserve a car based on availability, type of car, year, model or price. This system also needs to feature debit/credit card standard payment form.
We built this solution targeting travelers who are looking to book a rented car to visit any destination. However, the application is welcome to be used for any users interested to use the rental car service.
Our team consisted of 2 Software Developers (including myself) to develop the back end of the platform. For the front-end we designed the User Interface by importing the Bootstrap Framework. Also our third teammate supported our project by copywriting some facets of the UI, and presented our project online.
For our solution we featured Bootstrap CSS Framework which is responsive of the front-end for our User Interface. This allowed us to quickly plug components for the interface as typography, forms, buttons, navigation and others.

For our Mobile Application Class we successfully developed our first mobile
application on Android platform in a period of 4 months.
During our development we had some limitations such as finding accurate information about gas
prices as we had to web scrape data from Gas Buddy website, and there was not given any API or
database to plugin into our application. Still our application accomplishes our goal to provide
information to drivers about gas price, distance, ETA, services, amenities, gas types, driving
directions based on their location.
