What platform to use?

5 New Member
Hi there

Cool forum! I'm just looking for some advice. I'm designing an interface for a public display as well as an admin interface that will control the output for the display. The display will feature text, images and video - both normal video files and live streamed video. The admin interface basically lets the administrater choose which text, images, video etc appear on the display. It's not online - just a local app, run from a PC and the video and images etc will be stored in folders on the hard drive - not on a database.

What would be the best way of designing this? I'm considering either Flash (because of the front end aspects of it) or something like C++ or Delphi. Any thoughts on this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Heya lollerskates (love the name!). Welcome to TSDN!

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to copy this thread to the C++ and the Flash forum, and we'll get experts from each platform to respond with their advice and opinions.

Good luck with your project!

I have recently gone back to doing some work in c, after years of c++, but I find the lack of templates and in particular the container in the stl to be a huge show stopper. There are math libs, plotting libs, graphic libs etc but I what about some usefull container lib. Any ideas anyone? regards, Conrad Weyns

Ok, first of all, let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. I'm an idiot. So please indulge me for a moment. Consider it an act of "community service".... What does "64bit" mean to your friendly neighborhood C# programmer? The standard answer I get from computer sales people is: "It means that the CPU can process 64 bits of data at a time instead of 32." Ok... I guess I *kind* of understand what that means at an intuitive level, but what...

Hi friends, I need to write a parallel code in 'C' on the server that is running SGI Irix 6.5. This server supports MIPS Pro C compiler. I don't have any idea of parallel C languages. I looked into few posts in this group. I could make out that there are several languages for parallel programming and parallel C is one of them. I need to know if this is supported by MIPS Pro C Compiler. Or are there any other parallel C languages that have...

If we look at a programming language such as C++: When an updated Standard comes out, everyone adopts it and abandons the previous one. It seems though that things aren't so clear-cut in the C community. It would seem that C99 is the most up-to-date Standard, but far more people seem to be working off the C89 Standard. Could someone please explain to me why this is so? --

Hi, I have read that 'C' is platform-independent and portable. I can'tsee much a difference between the two terms. Could anyone differentiate the two? Also is the statement actually true? Thanks Andy

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
