I am an experienced PHP programmer who uses PHP with MySQL.

I am learning Java and would like to write some Java stand-alone
programs (to run on my desktop) that can access a MySQL database
that I have on a webhost.

I don't know where to go to find instructions on how to access a
MySQL database, and how to send SQL instructions, etc.

The second thing is I'd like to write stand-alone Java that can have a GUI
where part (or all) of the GUI is a panel in a frame that is displaying the
contents of a website page. Thus, I can be runnning a stand-alone program
that looks like a regular running program in one part, and in another part
(or maybe the whole part) is actually coming from PHP programs on a webpage.

If you can point me in the right direction so that I can learn how
to do these things, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks.

I suspect it's time for me to wander through this whole tutorial.

Gratefully,

look-and-feel?

I just used:

JFileChooser fileSave = new JFileChooser();
fileSave.showSaveDialog(frame);
saveFile(filesave.getSelectedFile());

where saveFile is my own method.

What's this about look-and-feel? Something I'm missing?

Thanks

I just wrote my first program using JFileChooser and the showSaveDialog
on a Windows PC using Vista.

How cheesy! It looks ancient. Is there a way to see the same file dialog screen
that you see with every other program on a Windows system?

You know, with color and the "modern" layout?

Thanks
