Overview
System Performance Monitor is a C++ desktop project built to practice object-oriented programming through a practical system utility. It brings system information, performance statistics, update checks, and useful tools together.
The project helped me connect OOP concepts such as classes, encapsulation, and separated responsibilities to software that reads and presents useful information from the computer.
The Challenge
A performance monitor needs to gather different kinds of system data and present them clearly without turning the program into one large block of tightly connected code.
The challenge was to organize monitoring, update checks, statistics, and utility features so each part could be understood and improved independently.
Object-oriented structure turns a collection of system functions into a program that is easier to understand, extend, and maintain.
The Approach
I used C++ classes to separate system information, performance monitoring, update checking, and supporting utilities. This made the project a practical exercise in structuring responsibilities through OOP.
The interface focuses on presenting useful statistics and actions in a straightforward desktop workflow while keeping the code organized for additional features later.
The Result
The result is a focused C++ desktop project that applies object-oriented programming to a real system utility and builds a foundation for more advanced monitoring and desktop application work.
