Not sure how many people out there work with bar codes in their applications. I have been on a few projects that required bar codes to be programatically generated. Having seen this new Tag technology from Microsoft I am wondering if anyone has worked with MS Tag yet? Do you have some examples of programming against MS Tag?
I seriously doubt that the bar code will die any time soon. it’s cheap, and well understood. The only advantage of the MS Technology is that it allows more data in the same space. MOST bar code users don’t NEED more data. you’ve got plenty of room for you item IDs and your ISBNs and your package reference numbers, etc.
Also, users of bar codes are often very conservative WRT new technology. They don’t want to spend money if they don’t have to, and they’ve already got the bar code readers…
