Work From Home System

Part of Certificate II in Autonomous Robotics

Python Tkinter GUI Data Persistence Autonomous Robotics

Project Overview

A basic Python desktop application I built for a TAFE assignment. It's a simple time-tracking tool where employees can log their work hours. This was an introductory programming exercise as part of my Certificate II in Autonomous Robotics course.

What I Learned

GUI Development: Gained proficiency in using the tkinter library to create intuitive, multi-window graphical user interfaces.
Data Management: Implemented file-based data storage using CSV formats, ensuring data persistence across application sessions.
Authentication Logic: Developed a secure login system with credential validation and limited attempt logic.
Modular Programming: Structured the application into multiple specialized scripts (Login, Logging, Reporting) to improve maintainability and scalability.
Input Validation: Created robust checks for user input, including daily and weekly hour limits to ensure data integrity.

Technical Implementation

The system features a dual-path workflow:

Employee Path: Secure authentication followed by a daily hour logging interface.
Management Path: Automated aggregation of employee data to generate comprehensive weekly reports and grand totals.
