a simple POS program

FIG.1- This is the main entry point to the program, from here all of the various other screens are invoked.

An example of one of the screen is: the Sales Screen. This screen is used to enter the sales of the products into the sales and sales details tables. When a product code is entered and then a quantity is entered, on the enter key pressed, the product code is sent to a function to connect to the database and retrieves the data.

A Zoo-Keeper program

The Cave Hill Zoo holds many animals from around the world. New animals are registered and assigned zones & cages. Each is given a name.
The primary focus of a keeper is to ensure the health and safety of the animals. This involves three types
of activities: feeding the animals to correct type and amount of food and administering the correct
medication to sick animals. A program was made to assist in setting up & organizing the keeper’s work.
