I'm thinking about starting a simple project where I create a box for drag-and-drop text boxes. The idea is to have a grid where I can move these text boxes around, similar to how Trello operates. However, I'm completely unsure about which programming language to use or how to get started. Does anyone have any recommendations for a suitable language or tutorials that could help me out?

If you're mostly a beginner, consider using a 2D game engine for a smoother learning curve with UI elements. It could let you focus on the fun aspects first rather than getting bogged down in code too early on!
What kind of programming experience do you have? Also, are you looking to make it a web app, desktop app, or mobile app? If it's a web app, JavaScript could be a great way to go!
I know a tiny bit of Python, but I'm mostly starting from scratch. A desktop app sounds best, though!
It sounds like you've got a cool idea! Before diving into drag-and-drop features, it might be a good idea to start with something more fundamental, like using command line inputs. That way, you won't get overwhelmed with GUI stuff right at the beginning.
That makes sense! It could help me focus on the main logic first. Thanks for the tip!
Starting smaller is key! This project sounds manageable, but maybe break it into even smaller tasks like just making a single text box that you can move around first.
That's a great idea! I can start with the basics and build up from there.
That sounds like a fun approach! I'm definitely more motivated to dive into GUI stuff now.
