title: Any Good Resources For Getting Started With Barcode Programming?
body: <p>I want to be able to store product information in the database for a web application, I decided it would be good to use the barcode as a good product identifier. Right now I just want to be able to store the numerical representation of the code in the database, so I need to find out maximum lenghts, formats, etc...</p>
  
  <p>Eventually I would like to be able to integrate it with a barcode reader.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any good resources out there to help someone get started with barcode programming?</p>
