Hi all,
I am thinking about writing a program I wrote in VBA (using Excel as a database and output screen) into a standalone application and I am trying to pick the most suitable language to do that in.
I am quite good at PHP and VB, and have used MATLAB (based in C++) in the past. A friend recommended Java to do this, however he has never done what I want.
I would like to make a simulation program which allows users to drag and drop new objects onto a canvas where forms will pop up and calculations will be done. Would Java be a suitable language for this sort of feature in a standalone program?
I have been playing with NetBeans recently and made some forms that I want, but I am still trying to figure out if it can do what I want. Thought I would ask incase I am wasting my time.
Thanks in advance.
