Point-Of-Sales

[achilles1992]

Hi,

Actually I'am new in this site. It is greate to be a new member in this site.

By the way, I'am a 3rd year BSIT Student, I'll be 4th year this coming June.

I'am planning to create a Point-Of-Sales System for my project (we call that a Capstone Project) as a requirement for us to graduate next year. I decide to do this as early as now so I can developed it perfectly. So far I don't have enought idea how to do it.

So, I'm asking for some advise and any idea how to develop it . As of now, I'm still doing my research about it.

So, any idea will be a greate help for me.

Thanks.

I created an app years ago that used an HP Cash register with Receipt printer and Barcode gun...

Basically you barcode scanned items for purchase...

When the purchase is done it opened the cash draw and prints a receipt.

That was back in the vb6 days - .Net has a whole namespace dedicated to POS.

The whole point of the POS API is to allow only one "user" to talk to a "POS peripheral" - kind of an "accounting security aspect" that is important in a real store.

What exactly are you asking for here??
