Choosing a platform

Keridan

Hello everyone!

I'm new to Java, but not new to programming. I have experience with C, C++, VBA, and a few others. I'm trying to create a fairly simple program and don't know the best way to do it.

Essentially, I need to take input from a user with standard GUI controls, do some math on it, and then create a formatted output. It would be awesome if the output also went into a Word document, but I could probably make an HTML or other file type work.

I would love to be able to open the program on an Android phone, too. Where should I start my research? Do I want to make a straight Java app using an IDE? Should it be a web page with javascript? I'm happy to do the reading, but it would be nice to know what to start with.

Thank you in advance for your help!
