# Objectives

- Master the Java Streams API through practical data processing
- Create interactive data visualizations using JavaFX
- Apply the MVC design pattern in a real-world application
- Implement event handling and property binding
- Process and analyze real-world financial data

# Introduction & Outcomes

In this jam, you'll build a stock market data visualization tool that combines the power of Java Streams for data processing with JavaFX for creating interactive visualizations. This project will help you master key Java features while creating a practical application that could be used in the real world.

## What You'll Learn & Accomplish

1. **Data Processing with Streams**
- Process large datasets efficiently using the Streams API
- Filter and transform data using functional programming concepts
- Perform complex aggregations and calculations
- **Outcome**: Create a robust data processing pipeline for financial data analysis

2. **Interactive Visualization with JavaFX**
- Build responsive user interfaces
- Create dynamic charts and graphs
- Implement real-time updates
- **Outcome**: Develop an interactive visualization system for stock market data

3. **Software Design Patterns**
- Apply the MVC pattern effectively
- Use property binding for automatic UI updates
- Implement event handling patterns
- **Outcome**: Create a well-structured application following best practices

4. **Real-World Application Development**
- Work with actual stock market data
- Handle data validation and error cases
- Create user-friendly interfaces
- **Outcome**: Build a professional-grade financial data visualization tool
