Hi guys,
I am designing a control system and user interface for a model train infrastructure and I was wondering if this is the technology to use? I mean Message Passing if yes which programming language is best to use for this purpose? Has anyone got any pointers on where to start? I know some java and c#!
Many thanks
If you can put in some effort and learn WPF for interface designing, then that would be cool. Otherwise you can use windows forms in C#.NET.
You can use remoting for communication but if you are concerned with performance then you can use sockets and Google's protobuf for message contraction and serialization/deserialization. You can find a port of protobuf for .NET at http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/. Its super easy and fast.
Thats the most I can suggest from the the amount of information you have put in the question.
