Gadwin printscreen

Gadwin PrintScreen is my preferred one for a long time. Free for personal use. The Screen Capture Utility[^]

Thanks to all of you for your input. There’s more than enough food for thought. I’m not sure if I’m mad enough to proceed, but probably mad enough to take it a step or two further. Again thanks.

Another grumpy old guy

Background: I started programming in 1974. Business applications in an assembler-based language, slightly higher-level than actual machine opcodes. Later got into business applications in a proprietary Business Basic, and later COBOL. I moved into other IT areas than programming, closest I came back to programming was scripting for PC and server administration and software in Windows environments. Never even got my toes wet with C, C++ or any modern programming concept. No Frameworks, no IDEs. Barely touched Unix and hated its case-sensitivity. Retired now. I've a need to manipulate my contact lists on an iPhone, for example mass deletion based on email domain; or moving others between Exchange server, gmail contacts etc. So, I'm thinking of learning, and programming a small app for myself to install on my own phone. Two questions. The first one: Am I mad? The second: How would I start? What environment, language, learning aids, best practices? Thanks for any thoughts!
