A-Level Computing Project 2015

Business Manager

This project was mainly for my A-Level Computing Project 2015, which I scored top in New Zealand in with an A* grade.

The Business Manager was also submitted to the Brightsparks Technology Awards 2015, and my project was accepted as a Finalist in the Senior Software Development Category.

How to Use

Read the PDF files to understand how to use the program and how it was designed. Please forgive me for using Visual Basic - it was the preferred language at my high school...

src - contains source files
install - contains installable .exe file

Languages Used

• Visual Basic .NET - for GUI, handling data, essentially everything
• SQL - used for writing the queries required to read, write and update the database
• C++ - for printing documents and data

Potential Improvements

There are many potential improvements for the future. The main improvement is rebuilding everything so the solution is online and can be accessed as a web application. The whole application is essentially a data storage, viewing and editing facility with a few advanced features.

Also, data viewing could be improved and a DBMS that is not Access should be used (e.g. Postgres). If you are interested in improving the business manager please get in contact with me! :)

Other

I created this program with basic knowledge of how to program/code properly, so some of the code may be a bit convoluted. Also, if you're interested, check out my website here.
