Release Notes

• See https://github.com/ggeerraarrdd/shelfie/releases

Initial Release

The initial release of Shelfie! was submitted as the final project for IS 411: Introduction to Programming for Business Applications (DePaul University, Autumn 2022). That version used a PostgreSQL database instance hosted on AWS and the psycopg2 library.

Future Work

No ongoing development.

• Clean up code (Update May 28, 2023: Code too unwieldy, so leaving Tkinter version behind and moving on to the web version from scratch.)
• Create a web version using a web framework (Flask or Django) (Update Oct 14, 2023: Github does not need another book management system repo)

Acknowledgments

• Could not have done this project without all the Tkinter tutorials by John Elder @flatplanet.
