I am wanting to put together a monitoring tool that will monitor several different wesbties at once. Right now I am trying to determine what would be the most effective way to do this and language.

At first I thought I might go quick and dirty and bloated with VB, but then I thought a java app would work well.. but now I am not so sure. Basically I would be polling each site for a data file that I could grab and display in near-real time to show how many users I have on each site, what are recent posts etc. I want to be able to see all the sites at one time.

Any suggestions?

Which language do you know better? I would do it in the language you are most comfortable in. For me, it would be C++ or C#. I know C++ better but for a small application like that it would be faster in C# which I am very comfortable with.

What kind of file are you reading? Is this for forums?

for (int i;;) {

   cout << "Smith";

}

Go with C#. An application like that would be quick and easy in C#. Perhaps it could be a good community project?
