Herro!

I’m doing some pro bono developing for our local bookshop. I am to build an application to handle their book circle

The application would have one admin view where new books, members, memberships etc. can be added/edited/deleted and one super duper simple view for the customers to either scan their ID’s and scan a book to loan it or just scan an already loaned book to return it. No rocket science.

I’ve set up a MySQL database with appropriate tables.

Now I wonder, is WPF suitable for an application like this, or are there better/simpler alternatives? I’d prefer C#, but it’s not a must. A plus would be if it’s simple to make a pretty UI.

Cheers
/ Fredde!

    Go with what you’re familiar with, and use C#. From the few details that you have given us, it sounds like it is capable of doing what you want.

    Microsoft Visual C# Express would be an ideal IDE for you to use, and allows you to quickly prototype up a user interface by using drag-and-drop to position components where you need them.
