  • Generally speaking yes it is possible but [so] is not really a place to ask for tutorials and alike. Try google your question, you should find many guides out there, big part of your decision will be the language you want to use. – Vulpex Apr 03 '19 at 21:15
  • Thanks for the reply. I understand, just wanted hint from more experienced people. I will look on net for tutorial and stuff. – user11308078 Apr 03 '19 at 21:18
  • As said, it depends on your guidlines. There are many crossplatform languages such as Java and python, C# in .net core and many more. There's no general "best" language without knowing all the conditions, read up on the complexity of the problem. Maybe you already have some programming experiences, then it'll easier to do that in the language you know. – Vulpex Apr 03 '19 at 21:20
  • Have you considered making it a web app? Then it'll work on most platforms and devices. – that other guy Apr 03 '19 at 21:25
  • No , I don't want it to be a web app. As I plan to use it offline on windows PC – user11308078 Apr 03 '19 at 21:29

  • One more option is use platform independent IDEs like QT creator if you are using c++ or write just write a JAVA application – hungryspider Apr 04 '19 at 03:01
  • Xojo runs on Linux and can be used to make Windows GUI apps (and Mac and web apps for that matter). It's pretty easy to use so might be an option if you're a beginner. http://www.xojo.com – Paul Lefebvre Apr 04 '19 at 22:52
