Free Computer Programming

I've been busy for the last three months developing a point of sale (pos) application software (i've forgotten about my hydroponics project). The pay is not so good but i enjoyed the challenge.

Actually i am bored with my job (but i cant leave 'coz the salary is ok) so i accept computer programming projects just for the thrill of it.

I have no pending projects as of the moment so if you want me to develop a program for your company for FREE (yes its free) just email me (opbfortuna@yahoo.com). If you think my work has benefited your company, a small amount will do or you can hire me :-) or a java mobile programming book will do.

Actually you have nothing to lose. I will email the installer to you, install it in a stand alone computer and let it run for a certain period of time before installing it in your server. I can also do it for you if you want me to.

This is not a hoax or scam it just so happen that computer programming is my hobby.

Since it is free don't give me deadlines but i will try to finish it as fast as i can.

By the way web programming is not my thing.

Platform: Windows
Language: VB6.0 , VB2005
Database: MS SQL, SQLServer 2005 (free download)

Developed Applications:
Banking: Frontline Services (tellering, new accounts), Loans, Accounting
Payroll
Inventory
Point-of-Sale
Inquiry System (i used COBOL for this project)

Failure in System Design and Development

I've been designing and developing business applications since 1992 and have successfully implemented all my projects until this latest project of mine.

Early January this year, a newly opened clinic asked me to develop a program to monitor the inventory of their stocks (sold and used), as well as the services offered and payments of their clients. During the interview i was taking the usual notes however, at the back of my mind i knew i already made this kind of program before. After the interview, i told the owner of the clinic to give me two weeks for the presentation and even the installation of the program.

Three days after the interview, I started to check my old projects to look for a similar transaction. Forgetting about the notes i took, i just modified the tables and user interface of my old project then confidently told myself that its ready.

After my presentation, the company's representative immediately told me that i wasn't listening to what they told me during our first meeting. Oh my gosh! was all i can say ... Using my charm :-) and some IT jargons (this is effective) i was able to convince them for a second presentation.

I left the clinic humbled by the experience.

The lesson i learned from this experience is not to be too confident even if you've been in this field for more than ten years and to always stick to the basics (sdlc, erd, uml, etc.) ...

Customer Relationship Management

Guys are you familiar with Customer Relationship Management(CRM)? If not, better ask your executives to consider CRM solutions as they make their strategic plan for the year.

By definition, CRM is the practice of intelligently finding, marketing to, selling to, and servicing customers. Enterprises usually build a database about its customers (detailed information) so that management and sales people could access the information to match customer needs with product plans and offerings, know what products a customer had purchased and a lot more.

I'm sure guys one of your company's objective is how to get loyal customers because if you have customers who are merely satisfied or transactional your company will be in trouble. Loyal customers go out of their way to recommend you to others. Word of mouth advertising costs you nothing but is one of the most effective means of advertisement. I am convinced that CRM solution is one of the best solution to meet that goal. There are several CRM packages available in the market just make sure to consider those that meet your company's need.

In choosing the right CRM solutions provider the most important thing to consider is their experience and satisfaction of their customers. Bright Blue (www.brightblue.com.au) definitely has those qualifications (10 years guys!) with satisfied major companies as their clients.

Life Insurance

I want you to think about your family – your spouse and children.


Do you spend time with them? Do you take them to the movies, restaurants and parks? Can you feel the joy and love when you go out together as a family? How do you feel when they thank you for spending time with them and tell you that they love you so much? When you have small kids they sometimes tell you how they wish you are with them all the time – ahhhhh I really love those moments.

But what do you think will happen to them when you die? Are you going to leave them with happy memories and security for their future or you leave them with bills, mortgages, and overdue rent?

You might have heard this several times already but I really do believe that having a life insurance is as important as giving gifts to your family, as a matter of fact this for me is one of the best gifts I can give to them.

At some point you’ve probably considered purchasing an insurance policy but got turned off sorting through all of the insurance quotes and even finding a reputable insurance company. For your family’s sake please don’t make it as an excuse, insurance quoting services are available online making the decision process easier.

When insurance companies determine your insurance premium, they take into account several factors (risks). However, one way to lower your insurance premium is by living a healthy lifestyle and make sure to inform your agent about the extra things you do in maintaining a healthy and worry free life.
