@ Fatezy Database application as the implies, is simply a storage based application development in a lay man understanding. It's an application (program) that requires database driven implementation. Examples of database are: MYSQL, Oracle, MSSQL, etc. Source: My brainClient-Server application: The client-server software architecture model distinguishes client systems from server systems, which communicate over a computer network. A client-server application is a distributed system comprising both client and server software. A client software process may initiate a communication session, while the server waits for requests from any client. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-serverAbout your supermarket question, it depends on what you trying to achieve. Dynamic outputs or static output. Regards My 2 cent |

@nitation,
thanks a lot. d output would be dynamic & its function is to record sales & supplies, keep track of stock & produce reports. I'm thinkin of database windows application with d back end being sql server & front end designed usin VB.NET.

Like I said earlier, what you trying to achieve is the most important factor. I can comfortably develop the same thing as a web based application.
Start with something and post your code when you are stuck.
Later

Your choice of architecture should really depend on what you need your application to do and what your system can handle. |

I'll just like to know au much of d theories i'm being taught is actually worth it:
1. Au much strictness do programmers pay to s/w lifecycle
2. Au come maintenance cost of a s/w is as much as building cost
3. Do programmers actually use uml? and what stage is it used and
4. Just out of curiosity au do d pros charge.
I'll like if these could be answered. Thanks

1) Draw a flowchart or write an algorithm for the problem following the requirement
2) Use a top down approach to break down the program into modules
3)Use data abstractions whenever necessary
4) Create functions/classes to reduce ambigity
5) Use efficient iterative selections or loops. (This would save your compiler time for codes that you write that could take years to compile)
6) Comment and use meaningful variables/classes/function name e.t.c

@yawa-ti-de -- Nice, I love you points.
Guys, i have this habit of writing complex code, I mean if something should be done in 10 lines, i try to write it in just 2 or 3 lines, using complex constructs but with great indentation and insightful variable names. Is this really a bad code habit ?
Some enlightement pls What you need to know is that programmers are often paid by the total number of lines of code that is useful in the program. Write short lines of code is good if you practise abstraction, but by writing complex construct that may not be understandable is not advisable because it would be hard to debug, and only you may be the one who understands the code. You have to make it flexible and more readable, I don't mean going to every detail you can avoid with function calls BUT a step by step process to end your program. Even in college if you write complex constructs, your professors wont advise it. |

Always back up your work! If your sys crashes u will nearly have a nervous break down. Happened to me once. I never recovered fully.
