I recently graduated from college, BS in computer science, I am familiar with a variety of languages including C++, Java, VB, jscript, perl, cgi and sql. I used VB in the past for a front end on MS access. I have not yet landed a job so I thought learning mySql and creating a some sort of form that could up date the db woul dbe nice. The big question is where to begin, which language to use for a simple form and how to hook the form to the db.
