Help on language choice -

-

A short three years ago I wrote an access db to use for my bank accounts and budget. I have used it and have loved it since it has many great things that is not something else out there, I have decided for several reasons to write it in an independent program. I let some family and friends use it, and afterwards, after touching it to some extent, maybe I will try to bring it into the market, I do not expect to realize, but who knows, maybe it's something in Can change

Whatever I can gather, that language should probably be decided first. So I'm here to help and to find the right one to use. These are my thoughts:

A) I definitely want a lucrative looking GUI. Nothing else is looking at "windows"

B) Delivery, and ease of packaging for installation, Of course there are very high priorities only-Windows is OK. C) My training / experience level: Some simple VBAs (which are in Access DB), have recently taken a non-GUI C ++ class, and an identification Java class this semester If I go with Java

D) I thought I am using a SQL database back-end (am I right?) As a place for data, because I have to use the model after this Access DB to do, and I'm a bit familiar with SQL

E) I know that I need to pay attention to licenses of libraries if I want to be able to finally sell the program.

F) For now, of course, I am not interested in any web-based functionality or have to run in the browser for this. In short, I have a ready, difficult- Efficient-enough, hard-to-do enough newbie who wants to write his access db in a real program, and maybe trying to sell what language should I use one day?

And I think I should also ask, does it appear that I am missing something important? Thanks a lot.

* I know there are people who will advise me that I should try to sell it (or even be), but that's not because I am here, so please do not please.

Given your expertise and background, using VB for the interface, using the Windows form. Using Net will be the easiest for you and start working together. SQL Server Express or Compact Edition will meet the requirements of your DB, it is quite similar to access, it will not take 100% FOGN, and if you need something else, then it can easily be placed on full SQL Server .

I will also mention C # as a possible language, as a novice programmer with no experience outside of VBA, it would be difficult for you to take, but in C # Strong> Too many more community support, technical books and open source code available.

I really like WPF to develop user interfaces but the learning curve is very This is not for novices at this time < / P>

The most common types of interfaces in Win Form are great, easy to use, a tool, and the entry in form will be quite similar to the design that you will be able to achieve quickly

Presentation is to create different business logic from logic A spend extra time in the design phase, thus you may be able to change the form specified with snazzier later.

A link to There are lots of videos and exercises and other materials for new developers, and spend some time each day to study some material and you will pick up a lot. Microsoft has similar sites for other technologies, such as SQL Server, ASP, etc.

Ensure that you have a good source control solution, it will save you on more than one occasion. If you can not afford your own, or can not go into the trouble of setting up and maintaining one, then there are online places, such as when you open your project open source.

Best wishes with your project.

c# - ListView onScroll event -

-
I am programming a simple C # application, and I need a Scallow event on the list view. So I inherited the original ListView class created in ListviewEx witch. I found out how to locate the scroll message from WinAPI and I modified the WndProc method. Now I have this WndProc: protected override zero WndProc (Ref message message) {base.WndProc (Ref I); If (m.msg == WM_VSCROLL) {onScroll (This, New EventArgs ()); }} But the problem is, I do not know how to know about scrolling information. This data should be in wParam, but there is a LOWORD macro ++ like in C in C # and I switch to find the criteria like SB_ below, SB_ENDSCROLL, SB_PAGEUP etc. there any way Need to change the LOWORD macro from C #? Or any other way to find the necessary parameters about scrolling? You can define the WParam constants as the following: Private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114; Private Constant WM_VSCROLL = 0x115; Private contact int SBHOZZ = 0; Private Consultant SB_VERT = 1; Private Con...

PHP - get image from byte array -

I am trying to create a back-end for my mobile application. I am sending the content of an image in the body of the HTTP request (output stream) as a byte array, I want to read this stream of bytes in PHP scripts and take back an image. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thank you. You can obtain the request body $ body = Reading from file_get_contents ('php: // input'); What you do with that data Depending on you, you can write the data in a file as you mentioned that this is image data, you can drop the data into the object can do. Another option is to use and load the image.

Linux Terminal Problem with Non-Canonical Terminal I/O app -

-
I have a small app written in C to run on Linux. Part of the app accepts user-input from keyboard , And it uses non-canonical terminal mode so that it can respond to each keystroke. The section of the code that accepts input is a simple task that is called repeatedly in the loop: char get_input () {char C = 0; Int res = reading (input_tamille, & amp; c, 1); If (RSS == 0) 0 returns; If (res == -1) {/ * snip error handling * /} return c; } It reads a letter from the terminal if there is no input within a given time limit, (c_cc [VTIME] value in the vocabulary structure), read () 0 And get_input () is called again It all works very well, I have recently discovered that if you run this app in a terminal window, and then the app Close the terminal window without ending, the app will not exit Received, but CPU intensive launches into an infinite loop, where the read () returns 0 without waiting continued. So how can I get out of the apple if it runs from the terminal win...
