Learn to program in C# or Visual basic and you can use the free Microsoft Visual Studio to build your application.

Another option is to learn Javascript and PHP. Then you can build it online.

A third option would be to hire me to do it for you. 

I'm also a programmer you could hire. If you're interested in hiring a programmer I'd recommend going through oDesk to keep everything open, documented, and above-board.

'above-board'

You punster.

Sqod is correct. If you are going to hire someone to write a piece of software for you, it is best to go through one of the many freelancing sites out there. They offer great protection for you.

Is it to complicated to learn to do it myself?

If you are smart and determined enough, you may be able to learn all you need to know from the internet.

This is how I started out 7 years ago.

I started out making games for my students using Flash. The I learned VB, C# to make desktop applications.

Then, a few years ago, when people started leaving Flash, I leanred PHP, Javascript and basic HTML/CSS

Most any question you could ever have about a programming problem has been asked on the internet. So there are lots of great sources for learning.

As someone who has learned a second language, and programming. I can say, with certainty, that learning to program is MUCH easier than learning a new language.
