Hi,
I would like to write an application that would more than likely run on Windows
and interface with MySql. This would be an app that would interface with a
database allowing the user to add / edit / delete data.
The need is very simple. I was looking at Flex and find that I would probably
need to use their Flex Builder which is $700. That is not feasible at this
point. Trying to develop an app without it might be more of a pain than what
it is worth.
I could always use Java, which comes with it's difficulties also.
My need is very simple. I need to create a simple menu, some forms, and the
ability to interact with MySql to manage data remotely - IE port 3306. I would
like to use an open source language, compiled to hide my work would be nice,
Visual development environment would be good also. At a very minimum, I would
like it to run on Windows. Mac and Linux would be a plus. Security is an
issue also. Must be able to securely attach to port 3306 w/o someone being
able to sniff out the user name and password. I know this is not a language
issue, it is a configuration issue. I wonder if there is something like
SFTP/SSH for MySql.
As I was writing this I think Java might be the solution. Write once run
everywhere. Java is open source and free.
Is there a visual development environment for Java that is free, easy to learn
and robust?
Is there another language or languages I should consider?
Thanks for your insight!
