I have a few questions about programming. Basically for my work i have to have data sheets MANY MANY data sheets and instead of carrying around the 2 -1000 page binders full of data sheets I want to carry a laptop and hook it up to a printer and print off the 10-20 sheets I actually need. The problem is there are over 200-400 variations of data sheets. So what I want to do is make an interface. Essentially a list of the names of the data sheets with a check box next to each one. I check the ones i need, hit print and the program automatically prints the data sheets I selected from a directory of data sheet templates.

I have experience in MATLab, so arrays and loops arent a problem and supposedly its similar to C++ but I have no way to verify.

Where should i begin?

What should I use to write the code? Pretend I am an idiot savant. Writing the program wont be hard, for what will be hard is what to write it in compile and test. Cause up until now I have had everything in matlabs little enviroment.
