Even if it turns out that your program will not be CPU-bound but
I/O-bound?
Maybe. The problem is that "financial software" is vast; there
are many different applications which can be considered
"financial software". Since he mentions transactions, one can
suppose that 1) it is I/O-bound, and 2) it will be
multithreaded, so it will automatically use multiple processors
if present. But it's far from clear what he is talking about:
I've worked on at least three different financial software, and
all three had radically different requirements, because they
addressed radically different issues.
For the database, I am thinking of using a free database
like MySql. I am thinking of making the core in C++ while
the user interface would be web-based -- i.e. java.
Web interfaces do not imply Java. Plenty of languages are used.
Perhaps not so much C++ though.
As I am pretty new to windows development in C++, any advice on what
to use would be greatly appreciated.
The most important advice I can give is to drop Windows if you
intend to do any transaction related software. It isn't
designed for it.
