A web-based application to simulate a package shipping company where the user can calculate shipping costs for various sizes of parcel, hosted on GitHub. Last Updated 03.03.2020.
This application lets the user input dimensions and weight and does calculations for volume and shipping cost. It might even be hosted on hosted on GitHub. It does so using an MVC framework and multiple controllers.

Expand specs for this project
Create a Parcel class. It should contain a constructor, and getters and setters for each property. All properties should be set to private. You should be able to create a new parcel and specify the dimensions and weight in the arguments.
Create a website where the user can submit a form with the dimensions and weight of a Parcel, and you can use the data in the form to instantiate a Parcel object and display its dimensions and weight.
When you call a method called Volume() on a Parcel instance, it should return the product of the sides.
When you call a CostToShip() method on your parcel, return a cost based on a formula you make up.
Display the cost to ship and the volume of a Parcel with its dimensions in your site.
Bonus: Add validation and make sure the Parcel object is not created if any of the form fields are blank. Display an error message instead. Also make sure your user can only enter numbers into the form.
- Cannot display the price of most recent parcel since last commit.
