1.my question is, can i built this system using ROR? i can imagine
building it using php. but i really want to learn ROR
Remember that RoR is a framework and not a language. Compare it to CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Symphony in the PHP space.
As to your question: yes, RoR can do that. In fact, your whole project description is a class example of an MVC based application. If you have worked with unit and integration tests before in the course of your education, I would recommend using a BDD or TDD approach for your Rails app right away.
2.hmm... i was wondering if i print a receipt, if the item list got so
long, my printer will split the page in two, where the header will be
print at the first page and no header on the next page. and the length
of the page is inconsistent if the item list differs.. how do i
overcome this? i can imagine that the company have already have a
header printed on the paper first then set the margin for the printer
to avoid printing on the header. but, i don't think this will amaze my
lecturer.
Generate a PDF instead. I would recommend PrinceXML, which you can just use in demo mode since it's just a school project. PrinceXML allows you to generate a PDF from HTML+CSS, including all the cases with headers and footers you correctly indicated as problematic with just an HTML print.
3.can anyone send me a link where's the best place to read so that i
can learn more about ROR?
Just google around, there's plenty of Rails related resources out there.
Best regards
