IMHO, it is not feasible for any project to survive or get completed if you're going start by getting together a bunch of programmers who start developing the app by learning JS/HTML/XHTML. Unless you have JS / HTML experts, you'll have them pulling out their hair in no time while trying to get code that works well with all possible browsers out there. I thought our main goal was to produce a working app rather than making people bald :P
exactly, use python and suddenly all problems wil go away. any programmer with object oriented base can learn python in not more than 15 days. and we all learn when we develop some thing. python is one language that does not depend on gracefulness of syntax. it is for getting work done. that's precisely the reason python is beeing chosen for this app.
This is all subject to using Java / GWT. If these tools aren't going to be used then the whole discussion is irrelevant.
again, python will be the best candidate for this project. we need some thing very powerful and easy to maintain. we want rapid application development, we want to have to scope of going on line with web interface if and when needed. I know thousands of people at the commertial level still using concel apps. I guess "console is hard to use and does not have capability to do much " is a mith amongst the windows/ dos users who believe that dos is the only command line. yet foxpro on dos is very widely used. and consol apps can also have menu driven easy to use interfaces. regards.
