Information on barcodes ?

Question

Hello everyone,

I am really interested in the history of barcodes since I downloaded a barcode scanner for my phone a few weeks ago. It really fascinates me. I heard that initially the inventor was inspired by morse code and basically extended the dots to lines. Where can I get more information on barcodes ? 
Furthermore, my wife runs a small crafting business and is planning to expand soon. I was thinking of implementing barcodes in her business. What are your general thoughts regarding this matter ?

Answer

Hello again,

isn't there anyone who can help me with my problem ? Well I thought I would give it another try and found out some more about the history. Also I didn't know that there are different barcodes in Europe. The website I got my information from is called http://upc-lookup.com/ and there are lots of other fun facts about barcodes provided on that page. The Problem is I still doesn't know how to implement the barcodes in my wifes business and I would be very thankful if any of you would share some ideas with me.

Regards
Howard
