Hi,
I am wanting to create some desktop software that requires interaction with a database and possibly work alongside a mobile app which hopefully will work on 3 platforms iOS, Android and Blackberry this app will have access to the database the desktop software uses
I haven't done anything like this before and would like to know what would be the ideal language to design the desktop software in? I have some experience with Java and PHP however I don't think either are suited for the task given that PHP is web language and Java desktop programs are dead (annoying given its cross-platform)
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should use?
Thank you
