Why it exists
A desktop application for a small hotel front desk: capturing guest information at check-in, tracking reservations, and turning the records into usable reports. Visual Basic with MS Access storage.
What I learned
Unglamorous tools, but the constraints of a real front-desk workflow made the data model the interesting part. Once you've designed a reservation system that has to handle a guest walking in without a booking, you've learned something about modeling real-world processes that a clean greenfield API doesn't teach you.
