Visual Basic (VB.NET)

Project Focus: Multiple document interface (MDI) application that can be used to track which parts have been purchased by which customers

Contribution / Role: Application Developer

Technology / Skills: VB.net programming, Visual Studio 2008 IDE

Description: The application was to deal with multiple user data inputs in a simple database. The front-end of the application allows the user to lookup part and provides a cost to the part and volume. Along with each order that is logged it creates a customer data input into the customer table. This is done in one application with multiple interfaces that are streamlined for the end-user.

Challenges: Working with multiple document interfaces within one application and linking databases to your application.

Reflections: Was a great introductory course to the M.S. Visual Studio IDE. VB is a very basic language so it allowed for the concentration on the tools rather than on the coding. Since VB (Front End) is basic it makes for a nice language to program a form or a simple database application for.
