Which development tools?

I hope this is the correct forum for posting this question -- it seems to be the only "generic" forum.

If I need to develop an application that:

- Is browser driven (ie. either locally, on a network, or via ASP model).
- Can be ported to a PocketPC or run on a laptop and synched with the network or ASP system.
- Requires multi-user access.
- Needs to be robust to handle a large amount of data quickly.
- Must have HL7 messaging capability (in and out) via socket connections.
- Needs to require a fairly quick learning curve.

What would be the most appropriate (and, if possible, the simplest) development package to use? Is there an all-in-one that will accomplish this?

I know -- I'm asking for everything here.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

You want the world! Do you already have programming experience? If so, that may dictate what products would be easiest to learn and use. There are solutions for both the Java (J2ME) and Microsoft (.NET Compact Framework) that could be used to do what you want. There are also third party tools that work to help make such mobile development on these platforms easier.

Which is easier and most likely to get done quickest would really depend on your existing experience and thus 'time to learn'.
