Hi friends, I am new to industry. Can U *** help Me out saying which language is best for developing GUI and that should Support socket programming. And that should run on windows and linux machine (cross platform language). Please provide Me with complete details so that I can make a move.. thanks

C/C++ would be my personal choice. However, if your programmers aren't fluent in them, or you don't have the in-house expertise to maintain contracted code, etc. then they may not be the best choice for you.

If you understand the basic concepts of socket creation and TCP/UDP connections, Visual Basic is a decent language for simple tools. It's where I first started learning. I agree with scleros, though. I prefer c++, but it may not be what fits your needs the best.
