Im new here, my first post. sorry its a long one. Ive been coding for 20yrs plus but mostly in Embedded systems and instrumentation. Now i have a project that is a windows and web level project and i need some simple pointers to get me started.
I need to develop a' task management' application for a very small business.
I Need to send an email or link to issue tasks and receive an response with updates on work done, eg where the work was done and how many hours. THis can them be stored in a Data Base or Excel and reports can be generated. Simple reports like how many hours on this project or how many hours for this one person. So in other words, manager sends out a task, workers report back on work done, Manager generates reports. This can be done via a web interface or email and excel. Im not sure.
I can set up a simple SQL DB.
But what language should i use for the middle wear, the app that connects the web front end or reads the email and populates the DB or spreadsheet. C#, can java or JS do this?
And how do i develop the web front end. This can be a very simple interface to input data and display simple reports.
Im really looking forward to getting this project done. I need to learn these Web apps/windows app languages and techniques. Again, ive been coding to 20 yrs, understand a lot about large SW systems but mostly in the telecom and video world.
Thank you all. PS i hope this is the correct forum for such questions.
What I have tried:
I have looked at using excel and VBA, perhaps i can continue with this and use VBA to populate excel automatically from a web interface or email? im not sure.
