Hi folks, I'm an unexperienced programmer. I had some classes of programming at college, learned some C and C++, but never went on with practicing in a regular basis. As i was working as a sound technician, i never gave too much attention to software developing. But life went on and i decided to change my direction.
Right now, i need to implement an ERP and CRM in the Small Business i´m woring in, using open source software. The first module i need to implement is going to be my final project to get my graduate degree. I have to do it fast... only 6 months to go. I was researching the options available. and found the GNUe to be one attractive, especially because i want to learn Python and i want to be able to customize the software as much as possible. I am an free software enthusiast and have always been a fan of GNU filosophy. But, for my academic necessities right now, the other options in java (as OpenBravo, ADempiere and OpenTaps), seem to have a more rich documentation and more online support - altough i have no knowledge in java and no great interest to learn it. The fact that GNUe offers more support via IRC (and that´s blocked in my network at work) and not from mailing seems a bit scaring to me - i'll check out if i can get my machine liberated for IRC, altough as programming is not my main job here, and i don't have internet connection at home (i'm completely broke right now and going through financial difficulties). And i found the online documentation very incomplete... I couldn't find out where to start after reading the entire GNUe Common "Developers Guide" (http://www.gnuenterprise.org/tools/common/docs/Developers-Guide.pdf) If i didn't have the time constraint, i'd propbably choose GNUe, but i'm getting worried if i will be able do finish it in time using GNUe... I have little knowledge in databases, nor am i an experienced programmer and i still have to learn python, but that seems more easy than learning how to use GNUe. For instance, the really start of it would be: http://www.gnuenterprise.org/community/docs/GNUe-Win32-SVN-HOWTO.html and it's 404 error (not found). What are the binary executables for?? Are those Packages?? Where are the Packages?? Well, you can see i'm lost. What do you recommend??
