The Idea
Since the first time I came into contact with programming (approx. 1995), I wanted to write a management program for my parents for their cows (dairy farming). At that time it should become a simple program that, after input of the ear mark number to the cow, spends some information and manufactures the relationship with the calves. At that time I selected also the name "Kuh Information Manager", the German words for "Cow Information Manager".
The Technology
At the beginning I experimented with (MS-DOS) QBasic, briefly times with VB, Delphi and MS-ACCESS, later with C (under Linux). Now I have the best solution: C++ with QT4 and for data storage MySQL and SQLite.
