Hi i am a web developer i used to create site using php..i have little knowledge on java(only basic school level knowledge)..but now i want to develop software for one of the NGO which is working for helping blind students..that i have decided to build the software in JAVA...the system is going to be used for managing there donation system like storing the donors information and categorize them in different category..and they want to retrieve the information quickly when needed..so they want to stop duplication of data..

we have a team with 4 members(they too new to java)

My Time Limit is 15 days for learning and 15 days for developing the project..

So as a New Bee I have some Questions


which language is good JAVA or JSP(Have a plan to implement the system in interenet in future not now)

what are things(language,tools) i have to start to learn..

Some one suggested me DB2 as a RDBMS is it good ?...i have some knowledge in MySql

Is it possible to finish the project in 1 month or how much time approximatly it will take..

Ok thank you and waiting for your reply

DB2 == RDBMS...in other words, DB2 is a Relation DataBase Management System. So is MySQL...you can use either...depends on which one meets your requirements...etc.

As for learning Java....you should learn the core language first....such as syntax, libraries, etc. There are a number of tutorials on Sun Microsystems website...

As for tools...check out netbeans.org

As for the time scale...it all depends on your skills, commitment to the project, etc.

which platform is good ? as a web application(JSP) or stand alone application(JAVA)..

not sure I understand what you mean here :(

Desktop applications are built to run on client machines and 9 out of 10 of the times are built to run independently from any client-server architecture.

Web applications are built on client-server architecture.

Which is best...it all depends on what you want to achieve....in other words, business requirements etc.

If you meant which is easier to learn...well...you should start learning from the ground up...and that means you should learn Java first...then move on to building web applications, mobilephone apps etc.
