It “must” be in C++ . It’s a C++ clas, ..

about the database stuff, our professor said, we should keep it simple, and do it in C++ (we can obviously use other languages as well, but he said it we shouldn’t make things more complex than what they already are.

You did not mention which language you need to work in. But anyway, if it’s going to be database-based, I suggest considering Java or Python. And if it is going to be a web-app, you can consider PHP as well. For the database part, you can always rely on SQLite (can be used with almost all languages).

Now, I do have a little project assigned for my first year class at programming.. and since i’m really novice to it, I don’t know of where exactly to start.

I’m supposed to make a program for a tavern (or a bar)

the bar-guy should be able to take a different bill off each table he serves (with the prices etc), as well as ability to pay attention to products running out of quantity. Eventually to order them. But he shouldn’t have full rights on ordering.. only mentioning the missing products. The owner of the bar should be able to make the complete order.

also, some kinf of a database should be kept trace on..

any idea how this all could be done ?

thank you in advance!
