Learning to Program Advice

I have a client who is running a FoxPro database and I am learning to program. They want a small program that sits on the screen and displays the formatted results of a query refreshed at intervals through the day. I had previously though a C program would do this nicely, but I though before I went and started learning C, maybe I would ask the experts what language they thought would be the best for this.

I have learned a lot of PHP and some ASP, but never tackled something like C. I thought this would be a good project to get me started.

Many thanks! I believe we need to basically FIT INTO the customers environment. So we are actually going to do it in C++ and then make a similar one in Java to illustrate language differences.
