First questions: web based or standalone application? What operating systems will it run on if it's standalone?

Choosing C++ for a web app would be kind of silly, as would PHP for a standalone app, or C# for a cross-platform app.

you said you need help with a course. So is it your homework? If so, what does the course staff recommend?

@wingedpanther: we are planning to make it stand alone in a windows 7 or xp os. what do you think is the best choice? thank you sir.

@bobdark: it's a project sir. it's like a thesis. our course staff told us that it is our choice of what language to use. we are on our own. :(

Java has simpler memory management than C/C++ and is more liked by teaching institutions to be used for it's relatively newness for a standalone application. I'd recommend you plot out what features you need, and look into the algorithm examples you can find in each language. Java provides some pretty nice algorithm sets.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

I don't think java isn't good in GUI it's just a lot of code to write^^. Probably not more or less than other languages. If i recall correctly it's a disaster to write in c :D

C# may look easier for GUI as you can actually draw it with the mouse, and drag labels etc onto it.
Java IDEs don't have this feature by default, but i think netbeans can do that too :confused:?

The next question becomes: what languages do you know? If you are strong in Java, it'll take less work to do that than learn a whole new language. A bigger question, however, is "What is the software supposed to do?"
