My boss at the time wanted a program +to archive the contents of a sheet that he would get every week to show how the department was doing. This sheet was called +the Advertising Profit Control. As you may guess, this would show how items that were in that week's ad were selling. However, this +program was not my idea, my dad, while hanging with my boss one day, actually mentioned that I'd be able to build such a program. +When I was asked if I could do it by my boss I said "Yeah sounds like it'd be a cool project." And a day or two later I grabbed +a blank Advertising Profit Control sheet, had hime explain how it all works, and got to work. This was purely a personal project +with no other compensation than what I learned along the way and also something to show potential employers. That said, I had a +lot of fun building this program out. + +I've decided to archive the oldest version of the code. This was before I even knew what Git was so what's been saved is only +manual backups. I tried to piece them together in order as best I could, but I wanted to archive this. + +This project is broken up into three parts: + 1. advertisingprofitcontrol-pre-alpha + 2. This project (which has more complete code, but is before my transition to Entity Framework) + 3. advertisingprofitcontrol (which contains the final, and complete code) + +I say "final" just because any left over bugs and planned features are never gonna happen. This project is quite abandoned.
