high school project

I’m a high school student at Victoria Park S.S. In our computer science class we were supposed to come up with an idea for software we want to develop. Basically I came up with this idea of software that is supposed to help people scheduling truck routes. Just quote this post and answer the questions. If you feel uncomfortable you can send your reply to vitakans@gmail.com
