I really think the assignment on Bodgitt and Scarper, LLC isn't clear about the GUI. I don't know if I should, for instance, put in the main client frame buttons for insert, update, delete, or just a book button or both.
And if it's true that i shall put a book button, should I let someone update, or book an already booked record.
Can someone (who have got Bodgitt and Scarper, LLC assignment) explain he/she understanding about what the GUI should provide.
thanks,

Good then,
but, if I put a book button, I think I shall put a unbook button.
I'm starting to think this: because the users are going to do just booking and unbooking, the users could just have book and search buttons and the stand alone version could allow for insert, delete and update, but the assignment says that we should use the same GUI to both: remote client and stand alone client.
Oh, I have another question: the assinment says that when someone tries to lock a locked field, he has to wait. But if the client waits in the same thread, the client GUI gets stuck. my question is: has anyone passed with full point at the GUI leaving the GUI locked in these situations?
Oh, one more point: does the GUI has to be "pretty"? my GUI is very ugly, functional, but ugly.
thaks guys,

The user interface is only worth 10% of the score, but it should be an easy 10% to get.
As I understand it, the examiners are looking for use of "standard" GUI features (menu bars / tool bars / accelerators), standard layouts, the ability to resize screens logically, and so on. Nothing too difficult.
