Application Development
Below are some of the applications that I have been involved with, categorised by technology.
VB .Net
I have been involved in many projects using VB .Net, and below are a few examples:-
SCHEDULER
This is a machine service which schedules tasks. The tasks which can be scheduled are custom written functions within DLLs, which mostly perform data clean-ups and other maintenance issues. The scheduler is easy to use and to understand, and as the functions are defined within DLLs, it is not possible for users to accidently mess things up.
The application can work on a stand-alone PC or within a network environment as all settings are customizable.
DATABASE UPDATER
I got tired of copying SQL scripts and running these one at a time in order to update the database with the latest development. I created a small app that continuously searches a directory and processes the files found. If the SQL runs successfully, the file is moved to a Processed directory, else it remains where it is and one can read the error log to find out why it did not run.
