I just got a project to make a interactive kiosk that will be touch screen, but also want to be on the web for live updates. What would you recommend making it with? I'm more of a print graphic designer so i don't know the best way to go about it. It needs to have a membership signup form in it (names need to go into a database) but otherwise it is just to access information, with graphics, basic animation, Pictures and text.

There are so many different languages and software I don't know what would be best for this project, any advice would be appreciated. I've though about using Flash but don't know if that would work through the whole thing. I think Javascript would work too but is there a good program that is more graphical that i could use. Thank you,
six :confused:

A touchscreen is implemented using the hardware that makes the monitor screen sensitive to touch and a device driver that takes the touch information from the monitor hardware and makes it look like mouse clicks to your application (web browser). You don't have to do anything special on the application side other than take into account a design for the user interface that allows the touchscreen interaction to make sense.
