Andrew Slade modernized the server communication and HTTP example layers in the softwareconstruction240/softwareconstruction repository by migrating legacy HttpURLConnection code to Java’s java.net.http.HttpClient. Over two months, he refactored the ServerFacade and updated example clients, consolidating HTTP interactions to a single, modern API. This approach reduced boilerplate, improved maintainability, and positioned the codebase for future enhancements. Andrew also revised documentation to guide contributors toward HttpClient, clarifying best practices and addressing outdated resources. His work demonstrated proficiency in Java, API integration, and backend development, resulting in a cleaner, more maintainable codebase with lower technical debt and streamlined onboarding for new developers.
