wanting to move up from ms access, thinking .net? visual studio?
- by Tristan Lear
So I wrote a project-management program for a small business using Microsoft Access 2007.
Now they've requested lots of additional features (timekeeping, privileged data tiers ...)
I personally use Linux, but the whole office uses Windows.
I'm relatively new to programming but like to teach myself using projects like this.
I'm right on the edge on this -- I can't really tell what the path of least resistance here is: do I stay in access + VBA and teach myself a dying, annoying language -- while struggling against all the limitations of Access? Or do I move to something else?
Python seems simple enough ... Whatever I use, i need to be able to offer a GUI.
