Desktop Application

Hi Everyone,
I am new to free code camp. First of all I would like to thank all the contributors for this great platform to help people learn. I am an electrical engineer by profession and just landed my first internship. I have a very little background in programming, just intro to C++. The first task I was given at my work was to develop a desktop application that can keep the company’s forms all in one place instead of people having to fill out the information and send it through email back and forth. Since I have no prior experience in this sort of thing I am completely lost and have no idea where to start. If anyone could give some tips on where I could get started and which language would be the simplest to learn and make a desktop app in 5 weeks I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
