i'm looking for program to create a simple application?

Question

I'm looking for a piece of software to create a simple application (along the lines of a sound board) I don't have any experience in programming apart from a little web design. I am looking to create a sound board where a selection of sounds can be selected/ticked from a list and added to a separate box on the board then press a button and played one after another any help is appreciated

Answer 1

The most common programming languages are Visual Basic (VB) or Java. Not to be confused with JavaScript for websites. Java is the engine behind Delphi and C++



The problem is that neither of these are particularly cheap as I well know because I recently purchased Delphi at a cost of over £400!



There is a website http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/DotNet/default.aspx where you can hire a programmer who can write this program for you and save you the hassle of buying the programming software and learning a programming language.

Answer 2

Java is completely free.

You could build it in Java pretty easily. Probably take about 3 hours including learning the appropriate programming.

Java is probably one of the quickest languages to develop an application because of the strength of the Swing package.

Once you have built the app you could then very easily distribute on the web using Java webstart.

Answer 3

Have you ever tried Smalltalk. It is free (though there are commercial versions). You can download a non-commercial versions from Cincom at http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView?content=links. There are also several turorials on the site to get you up and started. You can also visit http://www.smalltalk.org where there are a choice of versions.



What you are describing is not as easy as it sounds. It may take you a while to get up to speed with any programming language that is new to you before you can do what you want to.



Happy coding



Note: Smalltalk is a pure OO (object orient) language. You may have encountered OO if you have used Javascript on your website design and programming.
