I'm an Excel Guru..... now what?

[Irish_Griffin]

Hi Forum !

Happy Friday.... almost through another work week!! Yay!

So heres the deal, I kick *** at excel, VBA, ADO and SQL combo. I've made a couple database programs that use an excel sheet to display and modify the data.

Obviously excel VBA isn't the best choice for buisness process software.... so I want to advance to a new language for the next big software project.

What is the best software for online databases that have medium complexity user interfaces ?

C Sharp .NET ?
Python ?
PHP ?

Please share your opinions.

Peace,
Griff

Ok, before I get mobbed, I'm no guru.... but I still want to move beyond excel at this point =-)

C# is probably the most flexible.

We have a couple of C# developers in my office and their payslip is delivered in a wheelbarrow if that helps.

My goal is to become a consultant one day....

1) Go into an office
2) Interview employees
3) Establish business process and logic flow
4) Draft up the software in some Universal Code Languae ( name ??? )
5) Outsource the code work online
6) Launch Beta and see to office implementation

I don't want ot be the coder, but I do need to understand the language =-)

Coding is to much indoors, in front of the comp screen work.... I need to engage people, and walk around more.

So you want to be a salesman and understand the intricacies of programming in multiple languages?

I grew up on a diary farm. And it wasn't carrots and cabbages that we ferried about in wheelbarrows
