title: What's the language for Socket Server
body: <p>What’s the best language and IDE to develope socket server?
  I want a language I can learn quickly that will work on  an
  enterprise level. Please set me up with some good resources:)<br>
  Thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>RECOMMENDED LANGUAGES</strong><br>
  'I only know Flash and scripting languages'<br>
  • JAVA<br>
  • C languages and VB++<br>
  • PHP<br></p>
  
  <p>I’m tring to get my Flash animations to connect to an old
  backend system. The IT director of  my company left, and
  I don’t want the project to get canned. I’m willing to stay up
  nights learning, as long as I can get a prototype made.</p>
  
  <p><strong>WHAT I'M DOING</strong> 'Connecting to an archaic back-end system'</p>

  <p><strong>No time contraints or limits</strong><br></p>
  
  <p>Is any of the languages already used in your enterprise?<br>
      C and VB are used<br></p>
  
  <p><strong>How complex should your socket server be?</strong><br>
      Not complex, but have a good library and foundation to expand later<br></p>
  
  <p><strong>Can you use something already existing?</strong><br>
      Yes, but it can't cost anything<br></p>
  
  <p><strong>What is your purpose</strong><br>
      Learning and proof of concept is my purpose. Out of the
      box solution would be ideal, but sometimes implementing a new framework
      takes as much time, and could go against what's already in place.
      I'm likely to go with a language that I can continue use in game development.</p>
