[RESOLVED] What are most retail software programs written in?
What are most retail software programs written in? Like the accounting, organizer/planner, home office, inventory software programs you buy online or at Office Supply stores.
Just curious.
Re: What are most retail software programs written in?
I would expect that most are written in either C or C++, but you are finding programs written in VB. I have no idea of the breakdown by percentage.
Re: What are most retail software programs written in?
Lots of them are combination of both VB and C++.
VB is taking care of GUI and C++ of background (not to be confused with back end) processing for speed and efficiency.
Re: What are most retail software programs written in?
Sometimes it is easy to tell what software/language something may be written in, especially in the case of Visual Studio 6 and Developer 2000 just by looking at the button and textbox styles.
In the case of Microsoft, a lot of enterprise level software has been written in VC++.

For the types of programs you mention here I would say that VB is probably the language of choice.
