The VATstar project is coming along. however it has taken some time, more than I expected… just to get it going. I have chosen to use CFML to program the application. This is an unusual choice, but I am more familiar with it and maybe I will port i to PHP once I am happy with the logic. As you know most of the end user feel will be a library using java script and the logic will be invisible to the end user. So I dragged out my old Coldfusion Server which I had stopped using about 8 years ago and fired it up. I then had to go through and restart all the services for IIS, CF, MSSQL and MYSQL, work out what I had and what project used which database. Finally got an old project, cannibalised it and started, but its taken some time.

All said, the basic program is now working but its not exactly a great user experience (even as the coder I can’t say it looks anything other than functional, maybe a little rough round the edges)… so I need to work on that before releasing it.
