Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
From Section 8 As the users go through the process of selecting the hardware and software items which will satisfy their requirements, they will find that equipment from several (at least two) different vendors are necessary. Because they will deal with more than one vendor, there is a need for you to be aware of the integration issue. Integration in this sense means connecting two or more devices from different vendors through the use of standard software. The simplest way to avoid problems with integrating equipment from various suppliers is to select software first, and then to select hardware that is supported by the software. This usually leads to a very workable PC-based solution.

Outdated information,
By
This review is from: Getting Started With Bar Codes: A Systematic Guide (Paperback)
Getting this book was a big mistake. It seems like this book was going to have a lot of information but it does not. The print is very large and there are many large empty spaces on many pages. The content is completely out-of-date. This book was first published in 1985 and most of the content is from 1985. The photos in the book are blown up jpegs stolen from web sites (hence the different photo credits on EVERY image). It still refers to servers as "mainframes". This book basically tells you about the different kinds of bar codes and how they are read. And THAT IS IT. There is NOTHING about software or modern hardware. There is nothing on creating a database. There is nothing about wireless technologies. My message: AVOID THIS BOOK.

Breaking into Bars,
By Shalom Pollack (Jerusalem, Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Getting Started With Bar Codes: A Systematic Guide (Paperback)
The writer has a project for a systems analysis course: do a mock analysis of a particular business. A friend in wholesale diamonds, willing to cooperate, was found. He told me that he wasn't into computers but has heard that some of his colleagues use bar codes. An Amazon.com search yielded the book by Bushnell and Meyers. It is a good introduction to the topic. It uses simple language to discuss the different types of relevant technologies, encourages their employment, and lists the suppliers as well as sources for further reading. Not a bad start for me!
