I'd like to create an online address book that allows the maintenance of contact records. Users should be able to manually insert records, edit records, search records, delete records, and merge duplicate records. Also, I'd like to offer the option of doing a bulk import using a CSV file or XLS file. Obviously I will need to use HTML and SQL. I also want to use PL/SQL. My question is: What other languages should I use? A friend of mine mentioned that C# would be a useful language to learn. What do you think? Any other advice would also be helpful. Thanks!

Well, I'm not really sure. I am doing this to get better at PL/SQL, SQL, and HTML, but it would be really good to learn C# and the .NET framework, also. If I do a 2-tier application, then would I not need C#? I'm thinking that I would need it no matter what, right? (and if not C#, then maybe something like PHP) I would imagine 2-tier would be fine for now, but what do you think? We're not talking about too much data from the start. I am going to be hosting it on my home computer for the time being.

To tell you honestly, choosing the best language to do this on will generally depend on which one you are most familiar with.
I mean, it would not matter to choose the most advanced language out there if you are not familiar with the standards and what things are going to be needed. So you can go with C and make the best out of it. I like Java with simple projects like this.
