I see several on this list have their opinion and lean toward VB.
Not me, done that and vc++. Hate'em.  Been developing 30 years
and I like control over what I'm doing and Python and Tkinter are
the best tools I've ever used. And for the most part IDE's like
BOA Constructor are just confusing. IMHO.

I'm a manager where I work(one of the cogs in a food service company).
The boss needed one of us to become the "tech guy", and part of that is
writing small windows programs for the office. He wants the development
work done in house, and he knows I am in school for a CS minor. I know
basic C++(Part 2 of that is in the fall), and I will be taking Java 1
in the fall also. What is the easiest way for me to make windows
programs that will do basic things like(Inventory, Menu Management,
etc...)? I have heard visual basic is where it's at. I want to keep an
open mind though, so I am wondering if python could be an option. The
programs have
no speed requirement.  But they must be pretty, and not confuse my
boss. Plus he wants well documented help for each function. I asked the
windows programming group, but I thought I would ask here also. Thanks.
