The most amazing...
...thing I've developed in C# is a Windows 8 tablet app for retail stores which by the sheer breadth of functionality rendered the stationary terminals obsolete.

Experience

Original Task:
"Model the behavior of a vending machine that sells coffee, tea, etc. The system displays a user's wallet, VM's wallet, and VM's available products. The user can put coins into VM at any time. The user can withdraw change at any time. The user can buy a product at any time. There should be all necessary checks and guards in place. The number of coins transferred should be minimal. The model is expected to be implemented with OOP in mind. Unit tests will be a plus. The UI can be purely schematic."
They were expecting me to demonstrate my skills coding and architecture building skills, and also my ability to work with a very light task definition. It wasn't supposed to be too small or too complicated. The task isn't supposed to illustrate UI design skills.
To run this code, you need Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or later. All the used packages will be restored via Nuget upon compilation.
