I have a strong background in PHP and HTML/CSS and would be able to complete this project in a web page very easily. However, I need to make a desktop application, something I have never done before. The project is creating a simple calculator that has 4 out of 5 values inputed and displays the last based by running the numbers. I know how to do all the math, I just need to know which language to use to accomplish this. Also, I needs to be visually appealing, not an ugly console/ command line app. Any advice is greatly apperciated.
Thanks

Just about any language can accomplish this. If you are looking for quick I'd suggest a .NET language such as VB or C#. Being a PHP developer, you may prefer C# since is has similar syntax. Java is another option that most PHP developers feel comfortable with.
You could also make a desktop application using PHP-GTK and use PHP to make a nice looking desktop application.

Hi Ashton123, I see you're new here :)
As jordan mentioned, PHP-GTK is a portable, cross-platform way of making a GUI using PHP. This'll probably be perfect for you if you don't want to learn another language just to make a UI.
Personally, I <3 JUCE, which is a C++ framework for making cross-platform, rich desktop applications. Even has a visual editor :)
