inventory, it's my internship project for the semester. My boss asked me
to
break down each form (e.g. product information entry, store inventory
list)
into separate small applications. I'm having a hard time understanding
what
she means by this. Does it mean each form is it's separate python file?
Pretty much.
I guess my question basically is, what does it mean for something to be
called an application or a standalone application? I've searched the
internet for some answers but I just keep getting more confused.
An "application" is a pseudonym for most users for a "program".
But to a programmer a "program" can also mean the complete
source code for an application. So to distinguish between program
(source code) and program(executable) the term application is often used.
So I suspect your boss wants a separate exercutable python script for
each main form. By using modules you should be able to reuse a lot
of your database code between the different applications.
You will find more on this topic in the "What is Programming" topic
in my tutorial.
