I plan on programming a calculator, and a calendar(for a project... very simple). But i want to know which language should be most suitable. I know java can, and visual basic (although the latter limits the capabilities more)... but I don't know which one to use, or perhaps whether or not to use another progming lang.
Can someone advise me on the pros and cons of them? Thanks.

if you are choosing between the two, i would go for java. visual basic is old and boring and doesnt have the online support you will get with java. its not so scary really...
then, also... can these projects be web-based? an online calculator that opens in your browser? if so... consider php.
.....
peace.

It can't be web-based--I think I'll use Java... as I know it best.
But if there are other suggestions, please feel free to post.

Well if its not Web based then use Python for The Calculator and for the Calander maybe C++ with interactivity.

Java for web-based.
Python for offline use.
For java watch out there are plenty of sites with calculators and calendars written in java that are available free, this is just if you don't feel like reinventing the weel or you need inspiration.

I want one of those calculators.
If hes just making the calender to practice his programming, then go for it. I'm learning C++ and I remake tons of projects.
