I'm seeking advice on what the most practical languages would be for this task.
My Task
Stand-alone software that runs in the toolbar and connects to one of my websites to give the user Want-List notifications (similar to the Gmail Notifier).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
In most software projects, the program specification should be completed before the language can be selected.
This means that all definitions of variables, functions classes etc are well known and can assist in the process of selecting the language(s).
I say languages as there can be need to use security features that are best implemented in a security conscious language like Ada, while most of the other stuff can be done in Java, C++ or VB, which ever is more suited to the task.
So, do you have a clear image of the specification to work with?
