help me in building my software

[hiren43]

Hello guys! i'm from india and my father has a kiln business. I'm a computer student so he expects from me that i can create a software for accounting of this bisiness. I'm wondering what software to use. i have no idea what to do.

 

i can give you a video link so you can understand the analysis and requirements for my software.

For the time, complexity and manpower needed to create accounting software that can be relied upon for a working business, you will be far better off buying something pre-existing.

 

If you want to do this as a project, go for it; but don't go in expecting to create your own fully sorted version of Sage ready to balance a business budget!

thanks for your reply bro. but can you just tell me which technology and software would be best to use for creating this kind of software?

i would like to spend my time on this. whatever i would learn would be useful to me only

C#, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Fortran... it depends on what you know and have access to and know, 'bro'. TBH the above advice is correct, with the complexity built in to accounting software it is probably more economic to just but something.

actually i have only learnt c, c++, java. and i have used visual studio for asp.net which was easy to me

This project might be a good point to go and learn something more web-orientated, possibly Ruby. The advice given above is good - you don't really want to try and re-create the whole of Sage Accounts. However, if there is a need (and, potentially, a paying market) for an industry-specific accounting package then you want something that is going to work on as wide a range of platforms as possible, therefore I'd go for a web-based (or app-based) front end with a server-side database. I don't know the exact state of the IT infrastructure in the areas in India where brick kilns are located, but I'm guessing Internet access is going to be patchy, so something that can be installed server-side locally would probably be best.
