Create my own Stock,Inventory Software
-
I am interested to create one software for the personal use for my father textile shop.this software aim to have the inventory,stock and sales details.
I have done small things with formulas to calculate the sales,but that is not user-friendly
Any idea in which software i can proceed further to create my own software to have the sales,inventory and stock.I dont create any bills to the customer this is for only internal use to track inward and outward materials.I am not interested to purchase any software.any opensource tools will be helpful if its already there.I am interested to build my own

Local or web / cloud based?

So a lot of this comes down to what you want to get out of it, what you want to learn, etc.
PHP and Laravel can be great. But a bit to learn. Ruby on Rails is similar, but a little less.
If you want to write as little code as possible, check out LibreOffice Base.

Doesn't really matter, does it? Wouldn't the tools be the same today?

You can do a ton with Drupal without any coding.
-
You can spin up a sandbox environment on Pantheon for free to build it.

@Laksh1999 personally I would use postgres flask and vuejs
But basically anything from php+mariadb and on is ok.Being 2019 I would do it web based.

Which needs to be pointed out... doesn't imply non-local. Hence why the above question didn't make sense. Local and non-local, cloud or not-cloud, web or fat, are three unrelated questions.

As you said postgres flask,i would like create a database where the product code and product details will be there.The end user should be click on/drop down the list to have the sales of per month/year.I am interested to learn but where to start.This software will be for the windows users

Uh WordPress and Woocommerce can do that.

Yeah web based is related to the gui not the way you host it!

If you want it quick n dirty there are solutions out there.
Drupal wordpress... They have extensions and plugins for a ton of things.If this is a way to start learning with a project any sql db is ok (but stay away from sql server express)
And probably php+laravel has the smoothest learning curve.We had discussions on languages in the smb space and php can have a role here.
I already knew python so I've never learned php. But it is quite a thing the smb space!Bigger projects are usually java/c#/node/go... Not for the beginner.

Beauty of web based... works for Windows today... works for Mac, Linux, Android, iOS tomorrow. Stops you having to worry about the OS or platform of the end users.

Actually I think PHP is overtaking most of those. Java and C# are primarily legacy support. NodeJS and Go more specialized. PHP remains pretty ideal, and with its new updates, it's so much more competitive than ever before. I think competent large businesses making green field software are leaning to PHP more than ever.

I would bet on python rather than php, according to language stats around the web.
But I haven't looked at the latest updates in php so I can be wrong.Still for.the topic, php + mariadb is ok. Maybe I would use nginx instead of apache.
But this is me crushing my head every time I meet apache

Python is more used, but not more used for that use case. Python's major use cases are big ones... automation, scientific, meta, etc. It's use case as an enterprise platform language is big, but not in the PHP, C#, Java, category.
-
Django popularity seems to have skyrocketed in the past couple of years. Python being just an all around popular language has probably helped that.

Good point.
