Hi, I'm going to complete my B.pharm (Hons.) degree and, you know, I don't have much knowledge about programing. I was wondering to build a software on my own. Could you guys tell me what to learn first for that? Is it too hard for a student of other discipline to build a software? Let me know please.

The software I want to make is like a dictionary (or more specifically like "Physician's Desk Reference"). It should find the generic name, company name, indication, price etc. of a drug when I enter the brand name and vice versa.

To build a software like that what programing language could help me most and what (and how many) language should I learn first?

In my country, there is no practice of Community pharmacy (most of the pharmacy stores are run by unskilled people), that's why this type of thing could help them sell drugs.

Would you please tell me what I'm to do and how tough it is? I'm very keen to learn programming.

Thanks in advance

NB: I started this post in ASKREDDIT section but it seems that was not the right place for poll type question, so I post it again in this section
