SQL and front-end confusion

Aug 13th, 2008

Guys

Im not sure If I should post this in this forum but anyways If it shouldnt be here please pardon me

I have a problem here, I have to design and develop a software for Clothing company which sells clothes, either use account, cash, credit exchange, returns and so forth

So now the problem is I have to select one of the technologies, probably between Java, C#, VB.Net and C++, so my problem is I have to choose one and motivate why I have chosen this particular programming language, so what I need to know is, is there possible language I can include to the above languages that is used to connect to the database if so which is it?

Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity. That's how rich I want to be.

You can connect to a database with any of those languages; not positive about vb.net, but I would expect so.

From your description it sounds as if youre developing a POS system, which is something I am currently doing. In which case I'd look mainly at how you are going to connect to the db and other hardware.

For a choice of language I'd go with whatever you know best and offers the best libraries for what you need. IMO C++ is not the most suitable language here as rapid devlopment would be more important than speed. I'm using Java & MySQL using spring & jpos.
