    Programing (in Windows)

    I was wanting to know if anyone knows if there are platforms used for programing that is opensource but can run in Windows.

    Basically I am wanting to write a program that stores a database of information pertaining to what my company does. Currently we use a program that was wrote specifically for us by a group of programmers. Their program runs on the Java 1 platform. It is an atrocious program and very messy and slow.

    I want a program that already has a basic user interface but can be changed to add in what we need done. I have done minimal amounts of Java programming myself and I wasn't great at it. If anyone knows a simple programming platform that a simple person like myself could use it would be much appreciated.

    Well, I am currently working on something similar, and I am using XAMPP (LAMPP).

    Here is what LAMPP is - XAMPP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    You will need to learn SQL, PHP, and HTML, but this is NOT as difficult as it sounds.

    Mono is also available for Windows. It is an Open Source
    implementation of .NET

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
