Software or web portal for kiosk touchscreen tourist info center?

Hello

I am looking for a solution for a small island to create some touchscreen kiosks with info about many categories like:

Restaurants
Phone numbers
Cafe's
and more......

I need to be flexible so i can add/remove/edit easy any entry on any main category !

Also it must be possible to update all new entries remotely

Security is high priority to avoid hacks....

I will use a touchscreen for this and i am thinking Windows 7 or 8.

I am not sure if it is the best way to do this is a web site portal or to create a software using Visual Basic or Delphi or maybe C++ ?

I found this one for protecting the pc from hacks and use a portal to display all the info as one solution:

What is your opinion on how to do this?

Thank you

 

I did one up with Flex for the front end and PHP/MySQL for the backend. In my case it was a real estate kiosk where people could browse and look at houses. Provided the kiosk has an Internet connection it's pretty easy to build.

PM for details

 

I have been devloping custom kiosk systems for 12 years using the good old Director, but unfortunately it's not the best solution now with Win8 (here is my best seller http://www.synchronik.com/siteEng/index.asp)

What I would recommend is that you run the kiosk as a server and use PHP/MySql and maybe jQueryMobile for the interface. Like that you don't require the internet connection a everything can run locally and just have a small updater exe that would from time to time connect to a remote server and download your content updates.

Let me know if you need more advice or help (I am also available on a contract basis)
