Hello all!
I'm looking into developing a biological program for modeling and
sequencing DNA and other biological processes. The program's main
focus would be to look for similarities and differences between
different models of experiments. I would also being using information
from this website in my work also:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Knowing this I would like it to be as multiplatform as possible since
many different companies use all kinds of flavors of Unix as well as
Windows and whatnot.
So my question is, is Qt a viable option for doing this or should I
simply code the program in C++ and worry about porting later? I want
to save as much time as possible, without sacrificing efficiency.
Another possible issue is that I'm looking at possibly using Python
and writing a script for it when I'm done coding in C++, but I see the
Trolltech has a new scripting language so would this become an issue
down the road?

Thanks for your input! By the way, I'm just beginning to learn C++ by
reading Sam's Teach yourself C++ in 21 days and then I plan to read
The C++ Programming Language, so go easy on me because I'm a newbie.
