I want to build a property management program for hotels. However I am not sure which type of programming language would work best for this, and which type I should learn?
Help please.

Not very demanding, you basically would just need a simple gui and store data in a database. PHP + mysql would work well and easy to learn... not to mention operating system independent so you wouldn't have to worry about the various hotel's pre-existing equiptment, although could lead to more profits if it was a proprietary thing.

You can do it in several languages some of which are mentioned above. The choice of a language depends on various factors. It is not right to suggest an inexperienced programmer to develop such an application in java. I hope u don't want it to be web based. In that case the easiest database and frontend combination for the above type of application is Oracle(Database) - Oracle Developer(Frontend tool). Oracle Developer is the best tool for database development. But the end product will be a little costly since oracle products are not free.
If your target customers are not intending to pay such trifles, you may go for Apache-Derby(Database) - Java Swing (Frontend). It will take u much more time and labour but both are free. I have mentioned Derby for some additional advantage. U can embed the database in ur application. Further it has a very small footprint.
Hope all those helps.

First off The first answer was the closest, The second answer it totally off. Microsoft Access is a database program. Second it depends on what operating system it will be running on and if it will be accessed on the internet... Ok, if you are looking for local use of it then yes visual Basic will be a good start with the SQL at the back end of it, you can also do it in C++ or C#, it all depends on where it will be used.

To err on the side of caution I would pick Java since this is not real-time work. However if you want client consoles running in a Web browser your choice is limited to the few that could even possible for you.

I do think u need to learn any language for this. Microsoft access should handle this

there are many more proging language
but if you want to develope GUI based prog. then visual basic as front end and SQL as back end is well.
if you wish to net based prog then .net is the best.
