Cinema Management Information System

This project was developed as part of the Database and Object Orientation exam at the University of Naples "Federico II".

Project Description

The developed system is a Java application with a graphical user interface (GUI) implemented using Java Swing or JavaFX. The main goal of the system is to manage a multiscreen cinema, keeping track of movies screened in each theater, scheduling each show, and the unique characteristics of each theater, such as Dolby audio or IMAX technology.

The system was developed using the following technologies:

• Programming Language: Java
• Graphical User Interface: Java Swing / JavaFX
• Database: PostgreSQL (or other relational database)
