Creating a software for research

Question

Hello I am a beginner programmer. I've been learning how to use Python, JavaScript from Codecademy and little bit of C# from school. Since I have never programmed any real programs and feel like what I really need to do to learn how to code is actually to build simple programs.

So I thought it would be a good idea to build a simple graphing program. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3ogzLzxuM (skip to 4:05)

I've done some research and I could not find any relevant information so here I am posting a question. So how would I tackle this problem? (I am most confident using Python and for C# I would be able to get some help from the teacher)

Answer 1

Based on the video link you provided , i would suggest using a Processing Programming Language .

From the Processing site :

Processing is a programming language, development environment, and online community. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach computer programming fundamentals within a visual context, Processing evolved into a development tool for professionals. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production.
