Hey, I am thinking of making a software for spread betting, the software will sell all the bets at a price (to do with percentage) and also if it goes above 2% (your bets) it will lock onto it and when your bets are going down and it looks like it going to go below 2% it will sell that bet. Which programming language is this? Regards, nut legend
Thats not a programming language its an idea If you were asking what would be best to program your idea with, its the kind of thing that would suit anything, although due to the nature of spreads I would say it would need constant access to the internet (or at least some kind of feed to do with your bets) that a hosted model may be most suitable. If your hosting it yourself, then basically any of the online languages such as ASP.NET, PHP or even Ruby on Rails, its whatever you are most comfortable with. If you are thinking of a piece of software that runs on your customers machines, then I would go with either .NET, or C. Jen
Well its going to be a peice of software which you have to install - not on the net.... You suggest .net or c? nut legend
Well basically anything that will make a client application will do, what you develop it in depends on what platform your developing for, most people would say Windows, if so then .NET would be easiest. Basically it doesn't really matter, as long as who ever develops it writes good code and will be available to maintain it, if not then you want something as mainstream as possible but quality of the code is almost more important than the language its developed in.

C# .net will do this just fine. Here is a quick rundown of how I would do it, if I were evaluating it. Do is it have a lot of math? If so there may be performance issues. In that case, I would use C++. (STL, not CLR) or even assembler (not for the faint at heart, and you have to build seperate versions for different processor architectures) Do you want it to run completely native? (no .net framework or java install required) If so, C++ (STL) or Delphi (7 and below). These do not require a framework. Do you want to develop it fast, and have code written for you? If so, C# .net or Java. There is a ton of code available online, plus the .net framework and JVM do a lot of work for you. Probably the best approach. Want cross-platform compatibility? In this case, use Java. It runs on nearly anything. Final Word: Without knowing a lot of specifics, my first hunch is you should use C# .net. It's powerful enough, and you can probably develop it fairly quick.
You could do this in any language. However, I highly recommend PHP. Simply speaking its the language of the Greek gods.
You could make what you speak of in virtually ANY language out there, From Visual basic to C++ to python. Or as previously noted, Just about any of the web languages as well. RoR/PHP/ASP
