Ok I work in the Machine (CNC) world and I'm looking into creating a program for myself, but the problem is that I was learning some Python and Ruby a while back but since have kind of forgot a lot. I was hoping someone could give me a good direction in which language to use
What I want:
I want to create a program where its a basic "checklist" type program.
I'm going to be dealing with something like 30 something check boxes prob.
I want to where if I create a new document it would keep track of my previous documents.
It could save the documents in this way (for ex. 011408rtp.txt where it would stand for " Jan 14, 2008 Reset Tool Post" all of the dates and "rtp" would be a field that would need to be filled during new file creation.
The reason for the naming would be reasons in a way where when i look up a stat i could search how many times i have to reset tool post and search in the way of " *rtp.txt (# of files)
I know this may seem kind of hazy but its the best way I can describe it without getting into much boring detail.
I just want to figure out which language I should try so i can close my computer and keep my status of the program after shutdown and so forth until a new document is created and my old documents would be kept in a specific folder (assigned by myself) for status lookups .
if you have any advice please send my way.
-thanks
