J2EE is complicated compared to ASP or PHP...it has to be compiled and uses OOP.I would suggest ASP or PHP, not much difference between the 2 except PHP can be run on Linux (if you use Windows then it does not matter).I would recommend ASP just because I know it better and to use Access for simple, small websites and MySql for more complex, larger websites.I have not tried it yet but you can download the Express edition of SQL Server 2005 for free and use ASP to connect to that.
