Hey everyone
Im a student doing a small barcode project that scans items with MSH119 barcoe scanner and integrates with C and the 8051 to produce a list display of price and totals of the list Im looking for a bit of help on where to get started with the decoding of the output..... there is no connection to the scanner so i have only read TTL on oscilloscope so far to read black and white bars
many thanks in advance

There's no short-cuts to learning to program! If it was easy, it wouldn't take a University course!
The bad part is that it isn't enough with one - or ten courses either. The courses gives you a methodology for how to understand the vocabulary, where to find information and how to learn new tricks. Then it takes a couple of years to become a decent developer, and maybe a lifetime (if at all) to become a truly great developer.
"The courses gives you a methodology for how to understand the vocabulary, where to find information and how to learn new tricks."
Exactly. It has been said that the benefit of a good eduction is not what you know, but what you know how to find out
A university student should be expected to be able, for example, to think of typing "barcode" into the 'Search' box to reveal this, among others: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread10241.asp
