What is Academy?
Academy is a software dedicated to manage the most fundamental components of an university or college:
- Curricular units (or subjects);
- Courses;
- Professors;
- Students.
Currently, Academy only handles one university/college at a time. However, the code is currently ready to be expanded in order to handle more institutions.
How to compile
The Makefile available allows you to build Academy in two possible modes:
-
make debug— Academy will give debugging information no matter what regarding:- Loading from file;
- Unlinking relational data;
- Saving to file.
-
make release— Academy will be built as a final software without any debugging information.
Furthermore, make clean is available to erase object and binary files in order to recompile the code using whatever mode you'd like.
Interaction modes
Academy currently only supports a basic TUI mode (Text-based User Interface).
However, more modes are currently ready to be built into the software, namely:
- An alternative TUI mode;
- A GUI mode;
- A Terminal mode.
The software already can detect these modes, but since they're not implemented, Academy will simply show the message NOT AVAILABLE.
How to fill the database in
Firstly, you must insert the maximum number of curricular units (or subjects) possible.
Then, you must create courses.
Only then you should create professors and students since they rely on those as relational data (using intra-structure (vectors of) pointers).
Future plans
In spite of the fact that Academy originated as an university project, it will be carried on as a didactic project to further improvise my C programming skills.
