Helpdesk
I am creating simple helpdesk application, it will be easy to use and will be
accessible through the internet/intrent. The application will have many different
features and very customizable.I want this application to be the best of its
kind on the internet, the tool I am using to achieve it is to make the application
easy to understand and modify so to attract more developers. Whether you love
refectory or hate it advance or novice developers you are welcome in this project.
I realize that quantity has a quality all its own (the more the merrier)
Prototype
I do not have any experience with database design are helpdesk applications,
so the best approach build a preliminary prototype to help identify features
and requirements. We are going to use MS-Access to build the prototype. Using
Access it is easy to create GUI Forms a and SQL code and there is plenty of
support for it. When we are happy with the prototype then we can convert the
design into java.Check out http://orion.kent.edu/steinberg/sys5.htm
Existing Code
I have made the foolish mistake of jump straight into the code implementation,
which I am proponing until I am happy with the preliminary prototype. This is
what I done so for.
l have most of SQL code needed to create gui table. The code needed to for modify
and deleting the records in the table are not completed. The SQL is written
MS-Access because Access is easy to use but I will be converting the code to
an open-sourse java based database server. Already it is easy to add an object
oriented database to the existing code without having to change the HTML creation
classes. Servlets are use for creating the dynamic HTML needed by the by the
SQL code.
Here are some links that I think might be useful in helping us to develop this application.
