- Learn a little javascript and write this in your web browser. Figure out how to package it up onto a mobile phone (not a big step). That will get you started toward something standalone crunching numbers, and you can figure out how much you want to learn about programming from there.

You should be able to follow a tutorial about this or something, I dunno. I haven't watched this video but it seems to be a guy using a Mac and Eclipse to make an Android app out of an HTML5 (browser) app.

- Don't listen to Death_Claw. He's been trolling on these forums re: windows programming for years. Think of Death_Claw as this guy that makes his living selling bruised apples, and he's apparently good enough at it to be quite successful where he's from. So anyway, when he gives you advice about apples you have to consider: do you want your apples bruised too?



- Don't listen to kanye. He's just throwing out a random platform. .Net is the Microsoft stuff, which I guess is fine to write programs with. If you want advice about sweaters listen to kanye.

Java will work excellent for the task, no need to switch to any other tool

You and Jhyrb need to come back and start multi-killing people again :) NT

Sam February 20, 2014 07:32PM

When will YOU come back? I want 25 commander kills! (n/t)

Murphy February 20, 2014 07:35PM

I am enjoying this

Elystan February 12, 2014 01:07PM

Okay, this is outside my area of expertise

PaulO February 11, 2014 10:17AM

Technical analysis is nonsense IMHO.

Death_Claw February 11, 2014 08:11AM

The author offers no opinion on the validity of the methods provided (n/t)

Elystan February 11, 2014 09:08AM

Give up. Idea Stolen. Your software are belong to me. (n/t)

I haven't worked on anything Windows based in 8 years.

.Net (n/t)

kanye February 10, 2014 05:38AM

MS Access. n/t

Death_Claw February 09, 2014 01:24PM

Yeah I don't just want to crunch numbers, I want to produce a standalone piece of software to do it. (n/t)

Elystan February 10, 2014 02:00AM

grab a stats platform like SAS it will have everything you need to do that (n/t)

Quas February 12, 2014 11:12AM

You can more or less do this with MS Access.

Death_Claw February 10, 2014 09:17AM

Or even just excel. I've been constantly surprised what I can do with excel. (n/t)

Do not listen to this man.

Srev February 09, 2014 08:20PM

For a complete piece of software, would several languages be involved?

Elystan February 10, 2014 01:59AM

C++ for the actual computation hard work and Python for frontend interface has been done before.

DurNominator(VIP) February 10, 2014 08:25AM

These days you do everything in python; you rarely need to write your own libs in C (n/t)

cenatar February 11, 2014 07:43AM

That depends on the scale of the project, mostly.

Srev February 10, 2014 06:45AM

There are reasons for and against that. Usually, it's a bad idea to mix languages. (n/t)
