E-Library developed using VB6

• E-Library developed using VB6

  Introduction

  As an assignment to test our understanding in VB6, we were instructed to build an application for the library so that the librarian can use the application to perform book record maintenance and to assist the librarian to control book flow. The database used in the project is Microsoft^® Access to store all the book information, transaction record etc.

I still remember the reason I started that (flawed) experiment was because I found boosting easy.

• Blending ACL and FSM-based Workflow

  After reading through the documentation, I find that the role based ACL and work flow can be more tightly integrated. Therefore I made all the transaction into many FSMs and my work flow component now consists of one work flow library and one work flow management model. As I am going a more normalized design (I use denormalized design in work as it deals with a lot of documents, however for a small project like mine, a denormalized design should do well).

• Building a simple ASGI Websocket Application

  Getting comfortable to asyncio takes a bit of practice, so I revisited a practice project I did when I was working for my previous company. Suppose I want to build a very simple websocket application, without use of any web application library/framework. In order to keep it simple, I also opt to just build the frontend with minimal setup (just plain ES6 without webpack/vite).
