WorkBook (WB) is a **desktop app for CS/tech students who are applying for internships to manage their internship applications, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface** (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you can type fast, WB can get your internship management tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps. | ||

## 1. Introduction to WorkBook | ||
|
||
WorkBook is an **internship application tracker** that helps Computing students **prepare sufficiently** for their upcoming interviews to **secure** that internship. | ||
It is optimized for fast typists and replicates a Command Line Interface (CLI) style. | ||

3. Copy the file to the folder you want to use as the _home folder_ for your WorkBook. | ||
3. Copy the file to a folder of your choice to store data from your WorkBook. | ||
|
||
4. Using your favourite terminal, navigate to the _home folder_ above and start WorkBook by running `java -jar workbook.jar`. The GUI as shown below should appear in a few seconds. Note how the app contains some sample data.<br> | ||
4. Using your command terminal, navigate to the folder where you placed your WorkBook at and fire it up by inputting: `java -jar WorkBook.jar` in your terminal. <br> The GUI with sample data as shown below should appear in a few seconds.<br> | ||
![Ui](images/Ui.png) | ||
|
||
5. Type the command in the command box and press Enter to execute it. e.g. typing **`help`** and pressing Enter will open the help window.<br> | ||
5. Tell WorkBook what you want by typing your command in `Enter command here...` at the top of the application. <br> | ||
Some example commands you can try: | ||
|
||
* **`add`**`c/Meta d/2022-09-15 e/[email protected] r/Frontend` : Adds an internship from `Meta` to the WorkBook. | ||
* `add c/Meta d/18-Oct-2022 12:00 e/[email protected] r/Frontend` : Adds an internship application from `Meta` to the WorkBook. | ||
|
||
* **`delete`**`3` : Deletes the 3rd internship shown in the current list. | ||
* `delete 3` : Deletes the 3rd internship shown in the current list. | ||
|
||
* **`clear`** : Deletes all internships. | ||
* **`help`** : Displays the help window for easy reference to the list of commands. | ||
|
||
* **`exit`** : Exits the app. | ||
|

e.g `c/COMPANY [t/TAG]` can be used as `c/Meta t/unattainable` or as `c/Meta`. | ||
|
||
* Items with `…` after them can be used multiple times including zero times.<br> | ||
e.g. `[t/TAG]…` can be used as ` ` (i.e. 0 times), `t/unattainable`, `t/unattainable t/AWS` etc. | ||
e.g. `[t/TAG]…` can be omitted, used once: `t/unattainable`, or multiple times: `t/unattainable t/AWS`. | ||
|
||
* Parameters can be in any order.<br> | ||
e.g. if the command specifies `c/COMPANY s/STAGE`, `s/STAGE c/COMPANY` is also acceptable. | ||
|
||
* If a parameter is expected only once in the command but you specified it multiple times, only the last occurrence of the parameter will be taken.<br> | ||
* If a parameter is expected only once in the command, but you specified it multiple times, only the last occurrence of the parameter will be taken.<br> | ||
e.g. if you specify `r/Frontend r/Backend`, only `r/Backend` will be taken. | ||
|
||
* Extraneous parameters for commands that do not take in parameters (such as `help`, `list`, `exit` and `clear`) will be ignored.<br> | ||
e.g. if the command specifies `help 123`, it will be interpreted as `help`. | ||
|
||
#### Parameter-specific behaviour | ||
|
||
* Whenever `[d/DATETIME]` is specified as a parameter, you should input it in the format `dd-MMM-yyy hh:mm` where `y` is year, `M` is month, `d` is day, `h` is hour in the 24-hour format and `m` is minutes. <br> | ||
e.g. October 2 2022 5:00pm should be input as `02-Oct-2022 17:00`. | ||
* Month is not case-sensitive | ||
|
||
#### Behaviour of sorted internship applications | ||
|
||
* The list of applications are sorted downwards from the closest upcoming application to furthest. | ||
* Those with no `DATETIME` attached to it will be placed below those with upcoming dates. | ||
* Applications in the past (i.e. `DATETIME` is past current time) will be placed at the bottom of the list, sorted downwards as well from the most recently passed. | ||
* An example is shown below: | ||
