Hello,
I have decided to write a program that will help my mom with her
accounts receivible billing at the end of each month. DOS based
would be okay, but I would prefer to do windows based so I could
make it an easy point and click affair with drop down lists of
her clients and services and a single button to calculate and
print the bill. I want to make the program very simplistic as
my mom hates having to mess with computers.
I will be writing this program in c++ or basic (whichever
language I can "lift" things out of tutorials better) and I'm
going to be learning as I go along. I already have a basic
knowlegde in both languages, but I am far from a practical
programmer (just a first semester student). I have djgpp for
c/c++ and qbasic for basic.
Enough of the rambling, here's what I need from you fine people:
If anyone could point me to good, practical and cheap or free
tools for creating this program I would be eternally grateful.
Namely, tools for creating the windows based program that I am
shooting for. I think I could pull it off in dos with what I
already have...right?
Thank you for your input, and feel free to email me as well as
post to the ng's I blatently spammed :)
See ya,
Joe
