I have been thinking about the vague structure of the application I am going to design, there is the need for a database to hold details about Controllers, Drivers, Customers and bookings. On top of the database there will need to be a server since more than one controller will be access and storing data at the same time. Then there need to be the client applications. Future expansion of the system might included trusted customers being able to make bookings over the internet via browser based clients.
Obviously there is a need to consider RPC or data exchange between the server and different types of client. I could program the entire application in JAVA and use CORBA, then browser based clients would most likely need to install an applet. I have also heard of SOAP, JSON and other similar methods.
So I guess a literature search on modern methods of solving this problem would be applicable. This search could also incorporate technologies that don't tie me to one particular programming language.
