Ok, so I've got a well defined manufacturing process that I want to make a scheduling program for. The steps come in a well defined order, but the duration of these steps varies. What I want is basically a GUI that is a Gantt chart. Each step is represented by a bar on the screen. I want to be able to "drag" the edges of these bars to extend the duration of that step. The information that describes these attributes woud be stored in a database, so dragging the bar would actually manipulate that data. I've never really programmed anything before except for some VBA, but I'm a quick learner. What language, libraries, etc. would you reccomend for this sort of task?

Almost any language could work. I know that Delphi includes a TChart component that could probably be used to assist with that work, but I haven't looked into it in great detail.
