hi i wanna make a retail store software for my family retail store .... can anyone help me out with which language to use and just give me some basic ideas I'm an engineering student and have good knowledge of ASP, HTML, CSS, VBSCRIPT and have gone through java , c ,c++.
please help me anyone
Java is kind of complicated when it comes to writing web apps. I might start with PHP.
You haven't specifically defined what you mean by retail store software. Assuming you want to build something other then a e-commerce web app, then I'd just pick the language you are either
depending on your goals.
If you are building a web app, then it may make sense to research different hosting options as that will limit you some.
I would suggest against web-based solutions for a small point of sales.
I would highly suggest learning WPF/C# .NET 3.5 or 4.0
WPF allows you to seperate your view out and write it in an xml-based language (XAML) which will feel similar to html (It's NOT HTML, just uses XML as a base).
C# you may already be familliar with from your ASP experience if you used ASP.NET.
Please Note: This project of yours is not a small undertaking, there's an extremely complex structure behind point-of-sales/retail software. Please make sure you know what you're getting into before you begin.
