I work for a company that does powerline inspection. Currently they use a program where you can input data from a laptop in a helicopter then that data goes to a server in the hq office.The problem is the program is writen in java script and can be slow if there are more then 5 people imputing data at a time. There currently looking for another program to replace this one if anyone could lead me in the right direction of some good software i would gladly pay you 250 fg.

you mean there are 5 people using the same laptop at one time? or consecutively? or on different laptops?

if this is a very basic data entry form, i doubt javascript is what's slowing it down. maybe your data signal isn't so great?

Java and Javascript are NOT the same thing o.o

To the op, I'm guessing a bad signal here as well though.
As for a solution, you could build it as a web application based in PHP or Javascript that sends data down to an apache server. Sounds a little more responsive than something built in Java. No pro here, take what you can.

You do realize he never said he wrote it in Java. And seeing as how he flat out said it was written in Javascript where" you can input data from a laptop in a helicopter then that data goes to a server in the hq office." ...that is pretty much what you suggested. Although you suggested doing this to fix their "bad signal."

And it sounds like a load balancing problem. Either the webservice that processes the requests made has some issues handling calls in parallel, or the server is too shitty to handle more than 5 connections at a time.

Rofl yeah he did say he wrote it in javascript, the newline in my browser's current resolution made it look like this: "java
script". So howbout you assume I made a mistake instead of judging my advice so poorly like you did.
