Currently developing an application for the transportation industry. Using VB6 with a SQL Server database. I have totally designed all aspects of this large complex app.

 

Database design included all aspects of database design and implementation to include table design, database normalization, stored procedure design and implementation, and DTS  as well as triggers.

Additionally, I have developed scripting to convert the SQL Server 7 database design to either MySQL or SQL Server 2000.

I have created DTS packages to enable the application to export accounting data to various accounting packages.

 

The design of the VB portion of the app included everything from concept through form design to creation of needed classes as well as all coding

 

Application is designed to minimize keystrokes to perform various tasks as well as to follow the logic needed by the dispatchers. Search and lookup functionality combined with flexiblity are critical for the success of this application and are well developed.

 

Application also calculates driver pay and billing information, tracks relayed loads and loads ‘brokered’ or ‘trip leased’ to another trucking company, (critical information to a trucking company), tracks trailer locations (if applicable), provides for documenting driver communications as well as providing all information a dispatcher may need at his or hers fingertips with an absolute minimum of key strokes.

 

App will be licensed to another company for marketing.

 

Another of my more interesting recent projects was to modify an image processing application for a small start up company using VB6. This application processed the input from a camera “pixel by pixel” according to

Certain criteria
