What language for making windows applications

[PAEz]

The idea that you cant do something in a particular language is usually wrong.
C# is perfectly capable at getting those specs.

Complete hardware monitoring app written in C#.

Project written in C# using the dll from OpenHadwareMonitor.  Could be a good place for you to start.

 

Use what ever language you like the look of.  C, C++, C#, Delphi (so nice to hear its still being used;), JS, woteva could all get the job done.

I avoided all Cs when I first started coz I couldnt handle the look of the code, all those squiggles and wotnot put me off, so I went with pascal/delphi.  But then my bad memory stopped me from getting my head around all the oop stuff, never stopped me from making LOTS of utils for myself tho.  Now I ONLY do JS coz it was nice and simple for my bad memory (no enforced systems helped me alot).  Now JS is getting a lot more to it but my ground knowledge is so complete now its not proving a problem.  Seriously, just pick what ever you feel comfortable with they all have their plus and minus and once you learn one learning another isnt that bad, they all kinda relate.

Well I started by watching a 1 hour c# video for beginners, and let's say I'm getting no where, all he was teaching me is ints and floats, for a console application, I don't want a console application, I was watching someone called codebullet make a auto clicker for piano tiles using python, didn't see many ints and floats there.... I might go back to python for now as it seems to do quite alot, just to start with as it's one of the easiest. Also JS seems pretty easy. I'll do some research.

 

Websites say coding is fun... Pffff

Ohhhhh codecademy have just added C# course to there website!!! guess ill be doing that and python then  and ill learn C another time once im more experienced, starting to enjoy learning some stuff now

When you come to python I´d recommend PyQt5. It´s quite easy to make a GUI with it and you don´t have to handle multiprocessing, or so. But as you said: stick to C#. For larger projects it will be better anyway. At some point you might lose track in Python due to dynamic typing.

coming from what you said originally ignoring whatever conversation happened in the mean time (didnt read the whole thread) id also say C# is your best bet. i started with windows forms and for very simpple basic UI thats still the fastest to set imo but you can go with the times and use WPF or UWP. just know UWP is a bit more closed down in its nature if were talking about accessing system resources. just download visual studio and watch some tutorials on object based programming and hello world for c# ....and have fun.....oh and welcome to club
