Welcome to the VBNetBookManager project! 🎉 This repository contains code and resources for building a comprehensive book management system using VB.NET and Visual Studio. The software includes a user portal 👤 and an admin page 🛠️, facilitating the management and rental of books. With a MySQL database backend, the application ensures robust and reliable data handling. Both the admin and user interfaces are designed to be intuitive and visually appealing. 🎨
This project demonstrates how to create a book management system with features for both administrators 👨💼 and users 🙋♀️. The steps include setting up the database, implementing the user and admin functionalities, and ensuring secure authentication 🔐 for both roles. Here’s a brief overview of what the code does:
-
