Here at work I have been given a task of building a program that does
general house keeping tasks on an image gallary (several gigs of
images, all mundane im afraid ;) ).<br>
<br>
So I went and broke out the old pascal compiler, and realised it was so
1980s (which is when I last used it ;) ) and that it wouldn't cut it. I
need to create an image gallary, but none of the ones availabe either
a) Do what we want or b) too flakey/too many "toy" features<br>
<br>
Looking around I do need to learn a bit about programming as it stands
atm. I am not a *good* programmer, I just tend to hack bits together.
However I have several programs to help me here that I have concieved
that would do general admin task but I don't know what language is
going to be best to write them in and theres no way on this earth im
going to touch .Net !<br>
<br>
I was thinking Perl, but its just so "strange" or maybe Java. I'm not
really doing anything fancy but I really want to get coding. I did some
very very basic Java back at Uni, but its all forgotten now, although I
do remember about Objects, inheritance etc etc.<br>
<br>
Any advice ?<br>
