What programing language should I use?

Question

I work for laminate company and I'm creating a program to match our competitors colours with our own. I have excel sheets with all the info I need all I need is a textbox to enter the competitor colour number and it will show our matching colour number.

so it's enter A display B


And I can't use Vb unless it's VBScript I'm also handing it in as a project and I have already handed in a VB project so I won't get marks for another

Answer 1

You might want to look at Python. If you need a GUI then you could use TKinter with Python.



It is a very easy language to learn and use. It is free. There is lots of free documentation and tutorials on-line for it as well.



TKinter is as simple as GUI creation gets from free software and is included with Python.

Answer 2

He might be trying to say that you need to learn programming techniques and logic, rather than languages. This really is important, too. For instance, being able to hold a conversation in 15 human languages doesn't mean you can write an outstanding work of literature in any of them; and a really well written program is much like a really well written book, in that it needs to have many parts that fit together in non-obvious but effective ways.

Answer 3

C++ is overkill. If you have the data in Excel, you can use VBA to do an HLookup based on the value entered into a textbox within the same spreadsheet. You really wouldn't even need to have a textbox. Just enter a formula in one cell that does an HLookup based on the value of the cell next to it. It may be HLookup or VLookup, depending on the orientation of your data.



I would just load all the color codes into javascript in a webpage. You'd want to put them into a multidimensional array variable, and when the user centers the value and clicks the button, it does the lookup that way.

Answer 4

You can easily do this with the languages Perl, Python and Ruby. I recommend Python, but Ruby is a fine choice too. Both of them can use the Tk Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolkit which will be enough for a textbox to appear.

Answer 5

I'm not sure anyone here knows much about programming... I see absolutely no reason to use C++ or any language of that calibur for such a simple lookup. I don't even know why you'd need a stand-alone app unless you want a pretty interface. You should just do it in VBScript like you suggested... an input box, a lookup, a textbox with the result of the lookup... simple.

Answer 6

C++ is the beast programming language ever mainly because you can create your own functions in it and it is an object oriented language
