Hello people,

I'm new in business and I need some help, I'd like you to point me to the wright direction.

I'd like to develop my own ERP to manage any kind of business. I want to give a very attractive UI but I know the most important is how fast and how useful the software it is, better.

What language or software is the best to do so???

I'm looking FLEX from adobe
WPF from Microsoft

Any suggestion????????

re: Developing an ERP


The GUI should be the least of your concerns; I'd suggest JBoss (it's free) and
any decent industrial strength database system such as PostGreSQL or Cache.
Don't fall for the vendor lock-in trap; your future users might be running something
else than those Microsoft Windows XP computers. For the web tier select some
decent framework and don't hack your way through all Adobe, Javascript and
what else is hyping the market nowadays.

kind regards,

Jos

You can also take a look at how the Adempiere project is being done.

Dear friend,

From your requirements i think you shud use VB.Net as frontend and SQL server 2005 as backend. These tools are available free if u r a student.

I am ready to help you with the development process.

Yes, but it's for business-oriented purposes, so he can't get it for free.
Also, as Jos pointed out, not everyone runs MS Windows, so VB.Net might not be the best option here.

Hi I would now suggest you to use Open ERP for the development

Open ERP is both cross platform capable and free..
