Overview

Carlo's Tire is a schedule management application designed for a fictional tire shop. This application manages customer records, schedules appointments, generates reports, and maintains an activity log. Built as part of the C868 capstone project, it is a comprehensive scheduling solution for small businesses. The data in this app is stored within a SQLite database to promote app independence from a central database or complicated solutions involving MySQL or the like.

3. Build and run the application first.
