Hey guys/girls!
I've done a ton of research, but I think that asking actual people that are my superiors in the subject I just the best. So:
I want to make a few programs that can preform 3 different functions. I just don't know what programming language is going to preform the function with (1) the greatest efficacy (2) have the program up and running in the shortest amount of time (3) make the most sense to me.
Background: I know HTML, CSS, and I'm learning Javascript. I went to school for chem and bio chem. I'm a fiction novelist trying to get his novel published. If you reply to this query, I'll be greatly appreciative; and when I decide to learn the language (1) I'll go after it with maniacal devotion (2) I plan on giving back to the forums in anyway I can. Thank you in advance for your time, energy, and wisdom.
Problem 1: I need to create a program that can scrape and gather personal email addresses (I know a lot of these already exist, but what would you use to create a program like this?)
Problem 2: I need all that information to be *intelligently* sorted into a massive data base (also what would you use to create the database and access it? SQL?)
*by specified parameters, which I haven't gotten into yet*
Problem 3: I need a program that can send out different emails, based on those specified parameters, to all the gathered addresses.
What are your thoughts on the language(s) that can solve these problems. If need be I'll learn 3/4/5 langues to get the best/fastest result. I love to learn, I just need to know what I need to learn. Again, thank you for your time.
