Introduction

The Bank Management System is a simulation project developed to demonstrate the principles of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The system focuses on user-friendly UX/UI design and offers functionality for managing a bank's operations, built using C#, SQL Express, and the Bunifu Framework.

Tech Stack

• C#: Core programming language for application logic.
• Microsoft SQL Express: Database management system.
• Bunifu Framework: For modern UI design and customization.
• Visual Studio: Development environment.
• HCI Principles: Focused on user-centric design.

Features

• Manage customer accounts and transactions.
• Intuitive, modern UI with the Bunifu framework.
• Secure database management with SQL Express.
• Demonstrates key HCI principles for effective interaction design.
