The best programming languages is WinDev Software. You can Download it from www.windev.com

@OP if you're the coder, then work with the language
you're comfortable with


if you plan on giving out the job then any good
developer (irrespective of language)
would be able to do a great job

cheers

mkwayisi:

Guys, please stop saying that. It's like someone asking "Which mode of transportation is best when traveling from Abuja to London" and you replying "Whichever mode you are comfortable with." The guy might think: "Yay! Then I'm going to go by road on my bicycle since I feel so comfortable riding it." See? Your reply could have saved a humble life!

No, he's not asking about a mode of transportation here

he wants to know which car to use

if a bmw feels better, let him.

your suggestion would be ..........??

windev happens to not be a language.

Python lacks security you say,

care to shed more light?

if you're talking commercial,
there're ways to go around that,

i'm not preaching python though.

my point is really being proficient in

a particular language will go a long

way to make the job easier.


if i were to choose though, i'll pick C++

nairawall: WinDev: from my research, I discovered the WinDev development suite uses the w-lang which is a fifth generation programming language.

moderatorr: try any of these
java, cpp, vb, c#
python is babash, for anything whatsoever.

"python is babash"? really?
tell that to the owners of dropbox, 
blender3D, cinema 4D bittorrent and a host
of other useful apps for which python was used.

why exactly do you consider it "babash"?

naija_swag: Got a working hotel software built with Java desktop and MySQL. Hope to make a web version before year end still with Java technologies.

oche_ejemb: think about making it a web-based (or cloud as is the buzzword nowadays) project (especially considering how Nigeria is, electricity, security, etc) and use a MySQl db backend and i guess a php framework like codeigniter for the frontend. In 2013, dont see why anyone should be building for a strictly desktop environment especially for hospital records where the data needs to persist for years and could potentially become huuuuge. its easier for a hospital to invest in a few client systems or evn tablets, than one server that needs to be up at all times.
You could also use MS Access if its just a database system, and can easily move that to the cloud using Sharepoint but im sure that will be expensive. Someone already mentioned Alpha5, ive come across it before but havent used it but ist seems quite handy too.

nairawall:
I am asking for the mode of transportation not the type of car as you insinuated.

The only important idea somebody gave on this thread has been hidden by the mod. He suggested WinDev. I have been reading a lot about WinDev and it sounds a bit interesting but the french thing and the very small community discouraged me.

I am coming from a procedural/modular programming background. I also learn very fast so I wanted a language I can learn quickly to develop the app.

I was misled some time ago to learn Python, as some persons on this forum suggested it could be for desktop app development.

After several weeks of engaging python, I discover it lacks security because you code can easily be accessed by any one using the desktop application.

I am at the moment considering VB.Net.
