> I need a little advice on where to get started.  I want to create a db and
simple form that will populate the db.  Which language is best? What should
I read to help me along?

That's pretty hard to answer since you haven't said anything about your
skills, your environment, etc.

Java is a really neat language but there's a pretty substantial learning
curve to it. If you already know one or more programming languages, you
should say so; it's quite possible that the language you already know can be
used to do the work you require.

If you are doing this work strictly on your own and for yourself, you can
choose pretty much any language like Java, Perl, Php, C, C++, etc. On the
other hand, if you are part of an IT shop, you should probably use the shop
language, whatever it is. If you are doing this work for a customer and will
hand maintenance of the program over to them, you should choose a language
that your customer can support.

Etc. etc.

There are many possible options but the best one depends on your situation.
