Surely that's easy, it depends whether the client wants a web app or a standalone desktop app?

Short answer, the web and HTML5 is the future. Single-Page Applications are the future. It'll carry you further over the next decade than WPF will. Not to mention, you can have people on Macs and mobile devices use your software as well if you go the web route.

Yes. Ask your potential users which type of app they would find more useful.

I would ask one question, does the manager need to connect to the system from home? If you ask your client it will almost certainly be yes!
I am an old desktop developer who was delighted to find a similar capability on the web - Silverlight, then some stupid f***ing moron at Microsoft killed it. I'm afraid your commercial options are very limited, it will almost certainly have to be MVC on ASP.net.

On a serious note, it's a good idea, but...as it says:
"..these insects are incredibly resourceful, and can deposit their eggs in tiny puddles of rainwater pretty much anywhere -- footprints, hoof prints, plant nooks, ditches, wheel ruts can all provide a home for thousands of mosquito larvae." so you're gonna need one per footprint.
Even .NET can't spread itself that widely...

I had an email from our council last year saying local residents were complaining about increased mosquitoes so could we add a teaspoon of cooking oil too all the water buts on the allotments to prevent them laying eggs in them.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I was about to suggest this - mosquito larvae hang from the underside of the water surface and breathe through their backsides, which they poke through the surface of the water - this is why they can survive in stagnant water.
Oil on the surface clogs up their breathing gear and they suffocate.

A true geek. Replaces a $0.05 solution with a $10.00 electronic solution. But it's neat. I like it!
Sort of like the guy working on a gizmo and his wife asks what he's building. He says "A device to let me see through walls."
His wife replies "Isn't that called a window?"

Anybody else seen the announcement that TrueCrypt is no longer under development? Heading to truecrypt.org now redirects to this page[^] with some ominous warnings about unfixed security issues and a recommendation to switch to Bit Locker.
Net prattle is that this might be as result of a hack so people are waiting to see what develops. The developer(s) of TrueCrypt have always been very secretive which is why there is currently such confusion.
In our programming office we encrypt the drives with source code using TrueCrypt so a stolen computer/laptop will not (should not  ) allow someone else access to our code.
Cheers,
Brett

I've read people saying it's the same thing that happened to Lavabit[^]; they received a National Security Letter forcing them to give up their encryption keys to the government. I don't know what's true, we'll probably unlikely to find out either way. I don't see how a hack would force them to shut down indefinitely, so I'm inclined to go down the NSL route instead.
