I am looking to hire someone to write the following program for me, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend but I am willing to pay for it and will probibly pay to add features to it latter, as I have absolutely not programing skills at all.
Please give me a quote if your intersted, questions are welcome: 541-285-1289
I will be out of town on week days, so I will likely only reply to posts or emails on the weekend, calls are welcome anytime.
This is the basics of the program I will need:
I need a program for a PDA based inventory calculator.
It seems to me that flash would be about nicest interface for this, I haven't decided what pda to use yet, suggestions are welcome.
The device will have a 10-keypad surrounded by function keys that will be used to perform specialized tasks. The program must allow the user to enter data in price quantity format, broken down into areas, sections and departments. It must beep when errors are made entering data. The progam will need a simple interface showing the user what prompt they are at, the last entered value or value currently being entered, what breakdown they are in, the current time, and battery level if possible. The data must be saved in a file that can be easily backed up or printed.
