question
i have a project on my hands.
i'm doing a project for a sports organization. its basically used to track information at an event. simple stuff like wins, losses, scores, etc. so that teams can be ranked and such. pretty simple data manipulation and the like. i can code that stuff without a big problem. what i need is to code something with a nice GUI that people other than myself can use. i have zero experience with nice graphical programming. i was thinking about php/mysql since i can do that pretty easily myself and i was thinking of making results available live, but i realized that there are circumstances where programming it like that won't work out very well (the big one being lack of available internet connection). i need something portable which i can just hand someone a CD and they can run the event. anyone have any suggestions of what language i should use? i'm willing to learn something new, or extend one i know already to make a quality program. it has to be able to work on windows, though, since i'm going to be passing this off to others who've never heard of linux before.

I really like the fox-toolkit
www.fox-toolkit.org for C++/C. Its also cross-platform (provided the platform has the posix libraries). Visual basic is also probably a good bet, its simple, effective and really fast to develop with... |

If you want it standalone use Microsoft Excel. If you want it internet based learn AJAX (which I believe is XML and javascript combined). Make an XML schema for the data, and javascript to push pull it from the database, and then a stylesheet to render a page.
I dont know AJAX, I was just guessing how I think it works. |
