What are you good at?kyleI am going to develop a system application which able to get wireless network details such as own IP, how many connected devices are connecting on same network and so on. What recommended programming language that able do it?
Member • Sep 17, 2015
i am good at java, vb.net and C. So far i done some researches about this topic regarding about Java, but many website said that getting network details needs low level language those stuff and java is not suitable for it.. isn't right?Vishal0203What are you good at?

<a href="https://launchpad.net/nutty" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nutty in Launchpad</a> does exactly what you're trying to achieve. <a href="https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bablu-boy/nutty/trunk/files" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">~bablu-boy/nutty/trunk : files for revision 107</a> it's written in Vala. Since, you know C, it will take lesser time to learn Vala. But drawback is it's very much designed for Gnome desktop which has awesome dbus integration. You might wanna develop cross-platform app instead, using C++ and QT.kyleI am going to develop a system application which able to get wireless network details such as own IP, how many connected devices are connecting on same network and so on.

Yes, i am looking for the programming language that suitable to build the apps. Any recommended language?durgaHi Kyle,
Firstly, what exactly are you trying to achieve?
Second, for starters you can begin looking into open-source tools such as Nagios to get an understanding.
Generally TCL/TK,perl and ex-script are used for network scripting purposes. I recon Nagios was developed in C (I might be wrong here).
I think you should look for a programming language which has libraries for network services like snmp, http, icmp and so on.. to make it convenient to build a tool.
All the best!

Nothing like that. Of course you can go with low level languages but this is still achievable by Java. Java is very widely used language. Did you try searching your problem statement on web? I'm sure you'll many resourceskylei am good at java, vb.net and C.

You seem to be aiming to build an application (network monitoring app) and not to do network programming/scripting.Since you look to be proficient/familiar with java, I suggest you to develop using java. There is this snmp API for java what you can start using I suppose.kyleYes, i am looking for the programming language that suitable to build the apps. Any recommended language?

YES!!! Thanks for you API... It'll very useful for me... API is very important for programming.durgaYou seem to be aiming to build an application (network monitoring app) and not to do network programming/scripting.Since you look to be proficient/familiar with java, I suggest you to develop using java.

Oh... Thank you very much...Vishal0203Good,
Try writing some code and post your code if you are still stuck. We can help you debug after that.

I just don't think using Java for desktop application is good move. It is memory hog. I always have noted that while using desktop apps written in Java. I might be wrong though, since I am no where closer to be Java expert.Vishal0203I guess I didn't understand the intention behind this comment? 😛 Tried to convey something? Bumped over my head!

Agreed partially. But I see great IDE's from IntelliJ written in Java. Those IDE's are master piece! However, I think op should first try a CLI application. No harm in that.Abhishek RawalI just don't think using Java for desktop application is good move. It is memory hog. I always have noted that while using desktop apps written in Java.

Use the language you are most comfortable with. 😁kyleI am going to develop a system application which able to get wireless network details such as own IP, how many connected devices are connecting on same network and so on. What recommended programming language that able do it?

Sounds like you want to have a network scanning feature. You can check out Angry IP, it has some source files in java.kylehow many connected devices are connecting on same network
