Back again with another update. I've uploaded another video capture that shows both the customer front-end and some of the administrative front-end. I am almost done building out the UIs for these and then it is a matter of writing the PHP code to link it all together with the MySQL database.
Just to refresh everyone's memory, the Raspberry Pi 2 will be acting as both the web server and mosquitto broker. Therefore, all the code I'm writing right now will be hosted on the RPi2. This will be located at the hypothetical pizza joint.
In between writing this code, I have been researching how to go about writing the iOS app that will be the driver console. It seems like it will be most easiest to incorporate the iOS map app, but we'll see. I want to be able to send along directions for multiple locations, so the driver doesn't have to think about who to deliver to next on his/her route.
It's fun seeing the web interface start looking like something tangible. It's going to be even more fun once everything is communicating. That should start piecing together by the end of the weekend.
