any suggestions on languages to start with? i've a book on visual C# and visual studio express 2008 laying around somewhere. i've come across an application i need but haven't found one that suits me, so thought i'd give it a go. it's nothing fancy just a desktop todo list. little toast popup reminder. i use one at the momeny based on adobe air but it's way to basic, and their advanded one has features i dont need and missing ones i do. not sure where to start though. i just want to make it really basic at first then build on it. i'm familar with batch scripting and can read some vba(only a little) and other stuff.
