    Hello,

    First off- I have worked with Java, C++ and Perl at this time. That being said, I feel most comfortable with C++. The main goal that I wish to accomplish is to simply make a program that exchanges data according to input given.

    Basically the pseudo code would look something similar to:

    Check for user input for file name.

    Check a list of computer names, cycle through them, attempting to write the file to the machine.

    If the computer was accessed, and the file copied over do nothing, otherwise write error output to a log file.

    Break when done with list of computers.


    All that being said, I have accomplished this currently in Perl. However, it lacks the depth for which I would like it to have. If possible,the construction a simple UI would make the program much easier for others to use along with me developing as a programmer.

    My question to you is simple - Which programming language would be the easiest for me to develop a simple UI for me to use along with the pseudo code I am working with. The experience I have in all languages is limited (I have only taken introduction classes a long with personal learning). Keeping that in mind, I am extremely flexible to which language I would use. If there is another recommendation that is made, I will invest some time in whatever is asked of me.

    Salutations

    From what you tell me, you are expert in c++.
    and you want to make a nice UI.
    So why don't you use Qt, it is a nice UI framework.
    Even KDE (Linux desktop application) is based on Qt.
