I am going to be building my first program ever. It's going to be for estimating construction projects. Essentially it's just going to be a program for windows where you import and scale construction plans, then do a "takeoff". I.e. you have a wall, you will input an assembly for that wall and then trace the length of wherever that certain detail appears. It would then give a material count, as well as labor required.
UI is going to be important as well. Since it's going to be used by construction workers, I would like it to look nice (not sure if one language can better facilitate that or not).
Any suggestions on the language would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
