UberPOS

Kinda short notice... but if there is interest, I'll demo UberPOS.

You can check out UberPOS here.

We are implementing it at left-click with a hand scanner, receipt printer with a draw kick, and a cash draw. There are special commands that would be sent from a programable keyboard, or just typed in and entered.

Thought you'd be interested,
kelly

Can I hook my laptop up to that big screen? DVI or VGA... I guess I'll bring both.

Hey there,

Pretty sure both are available so you should be all set either way.

Hey folks,

If there's time and interest I can show a couple of things we worked on this summer:

1) An ereserves system for showing library reserve items to students that allows librarians, faculty and academic staff to add reserve items to courses, built on Biblio module and MonsterMenus

2) A course scheduler tool that allows students to browse the curriculum and build proposed academic schedules as part of the registration process, then share them with their advisors. A lot of custom code built on top of Date. This one has a public face (searching only) which you can see here: https://www.amherst.edu/course_scheduler
