Sample Codes

Building a simple accounting software is almost all about saving and retrieving data. So most of the codes are simple ones, especially if you use tools like Visual Basic or Delphi.

When you are building a simple accounting software, things can become complex when you wants fancy user interfaces. So, don't unless you are really sure you know what's your doing.

Other consideration whether to build fancy user interfaces or not is your users. From my experiences, user doesn't need fancy user interfaces. Well, ok you will have good first impression, but that can be a big problem if your software doesn't work as expected.

My advice is build simple but usefull application instead. If your software doesn't work, well, you can just say that the software is still beta or something. :p

Currently the sample codes section only contain sample codes in VB and Java. Other language will be available if this I get the chance to build a complete sample.

Sample Codes:

Visual Basic

• Using transaction with ADO
• Programmatically create recordset object
• Create text file with File System Object
• Building reports
• Spying on connection object
• Row, row, get the rows
• Let's date

Java

• Writing Java
• Multiple document interface
• Let's date in Java
• 3, 2, 1, Action
• Splash screen
• State your statement

Notes: The sample codes are for VB6 and Java 2, but not solely. Most of concept can still be applied for other versions. And by the way, some of the links above does not contain code at all, they'll only give hints or guide about writing codes.
