Front End: Asp.net with C#

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as websites, web applications, and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store, and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.

Visual Studio includes a code editor supporting IntelliSense (the code completion component) and code refactoring. The integrated debugger works both as a source-level debugger and a machine-level debugger. Other built-in tools include a forms designer for building GUI applications, a web designer, a class designer, and a database schema designer. It accepts plug-ins that enhance the functionality at almost every level—including adding support for source-control systems (like Subversion) and adding new toolsets like editors and visual designers for domain-specific languages or toolsets for other aspects of the software development lifecycle (like the Team Foundation Server client: Team Explorer).

Back End: SQL server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. As a database server, it is a software product with the primary function of storing and retrieving data as requested by other software applications—which may run either on the same computer or on another computer across a network (including the Internet).

Microsoft markets at least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server, aimed at different audiences and for workloads ranging from small single-machine applications to large Internet-facing applications with many concurrent users

1. Java Development Environment: You must have a Java development environment installed on your computer, such as Eclipse, NetBeans, or IntelliJ IDEA. Ensure you have the latest version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed.

2. Database Management System: You will need a database management system to store and manage data related to parking spots, vehicles, and payments. MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle are common options.

3. Frameworks and Libraries: You may want to use frameworks and libraries that can help speed up the development process, such as Spring Framework, Hibernate, or Apache Struts.

4. User Interface: A graphical user interface (GUI) is essential for a parking management system. You can use JavaFX, Swing, or AWT to create the GUI.

5. Payment Gateway Integration: You may need to integrate a payment gateway into the system to enable online payments. PayPal, Stripe, and Braintree are some popular payment gateways that you can integrate.

6. Security and Authentication: You will need to ensure the system is secure and requires proper authentication to prevent unauthorized access to the system. Using security libraries like Spring Security or Apache Shiro can help.

7. Testing Tools: Use testing tools such as JUnit or TestNG for unit testing and integration testing, to ensure that the system is functioning as expected

• You have to complete the setup and installation by following the below steps Define the Requirements: The first step is to define the requirements for the module. In this case, Module 1 would manage the parking slots available at a particular location. You will need to specify the features you want the module to have, such as adding and removing parking slots, displaying the available slots, and reserving slots for customers.
• Design the Module: Once you have defined the requirements for the module, the next step is to design it. This involves deciding on the data structures and algorithms you will use to implement the features you specified in step 1.
• Implement the Module: After designing the module, you can begin implementing it. You will need to write the code to create, add, and remove parking slots, as well as to display the available slots and reserve them for customers.
• Test the Module: Once you have implemented the module, you should test it to ensure it works as expected. You can do this by creating test cases that cover all of the module's features.
  
  E.g.

• This class has a slot number and a boolean flag indicating whether the slot is available or not. You can create an array of ParkingSlot objects to represent all the parking slots in the parking lot. You can then write methods to add and remove slots, display the available slots, and reserve slots for customers.

Details: This Module consists of tasks to set up and install various tools and libraries we will need for the project.

• Complete the steps for Installing Visual studio.

• Installation steps for SSMS

• Define the Requirements: The first step is to define the requirements for the module. In this case, Module 2 would be responsible for managing the entry and exit of vehicles to and from the parking lot. You must specify the features you want the module to have, such as adding a new vehicle to the parking lot, removing a vehicle from the parking lot, and validating the vehicle's entry and exit.
• Design the Module: Once you have defined the requirements for the module, the next step is to design it. This involves deciding on the data structures and algorithms that you will use to implement the features you specified in step 1.
• Implement the Module: After designing the module, you can begin implementing it. You will need to write the code to add a new vehicle to the parking lot, remove a vehicle from the parking lot, and validate the vehicle's entry and exit.
• Test the Module: Once you have implemented it, you should test it to ensure it works as expected. You can do this by creating test cases that cover all of the module's features.
  
  Eg.

• This class has a parking slot array and a parking transaction map. You can create an object of this class and pass in the parking slot array to initialize it.
• You can then write methods to add a new vehicle to the parking lot, remove a vehicle from the parking lot, and validate the vehicle's entry and exit.
• he addVehicle method finds the first available parking slot, creates a new parking transaction, and occupies the parking slot.
• The remove vehicle method finds the parking transaction for the given vehicle number, sets the end time and parking fee, frees up the parking slot, and removes the parking transaction from the map.

The module could include a Java class to represent an EntryGate object, which would be responsible for managing the entry of vehicles into the parking facility. The EntryGate object could be designed to interface with various sensors and devices, such as ticket dispensers, license plate recognition systems, and payment processing systems.

The module could also include a Java class to represent an ExitGate object, which would be responsible for managing the exit of vehicles from the parking facility. The ExitGate object could be designed to interface with similar sensors and devices as the EntryGate object.

To implement real-time monitoring of parking occupancy and availability, the module could include a Java class to represent a ParkingMonitor object, which would be responsible for keeping track of the current occupancy of parking spaces and updating a display board or dashboard in real-time.

Each module is to be completed in one week. Submissions will be on a weekly basis. Module 1 submission is to be done in the first week, and module 2 submission in the next consecutive week.

1. Compile and test your project: Make sure that your project is error-free and runs smoothly. Test all the functionalities thoroughly and ensure that they meet the requirements.

2. Create a project report: Create a report that documents your project's scope, objectives, requirements, design, implementation, and testing. Your report should also include screenshots, diagrams, and code snippets to provide a better understanding of your project.

3. Zip your project: Once your project is ready, compress it into a ZIP file. Make sure that the ZIP file contains all the necessary files, including the source code, project report, and any other resources used.
