Udacity hotel reservation app

Description

This is my implementation of the first out of three projects in Udacity Java Programing Nanodegree.

I wrote this console app from scratch based on architecture suggested in the course. The project demonstrates:

• designing classes using OOP
• organizing and processing data with collections
• using common Java types
• using Maven to organise third-party libraries
• unit testing and mocking dependencies.

This app allows customers to find and book a hotel room based on room availability. Following screenshots demonstrate the functionality implemented.
