Lumina Hotel Desk System — Visual Programming Final Project
Video Description
Lumina Hotel Desk System — Final Project Demonstration
Course: Visual Programming
Student: Khaled Naim Awad
University: Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan
Project Advisor: Dr. Jalal Alkiswani
Project Overview:
The Lumina Hotel Desk System is a custom Java Swing desktop application designed specifically to streamline front desk operations for tourist hotels in the Jordanian market. Moving away from over-engineered software, this practical prototype focuses on lightning-fast check-ins, a dynamic Point of Sale (POS) system calculating charges directly in Jordanian Dinars (JD), and resilient data persistence.
