Hi there.

I have a project, but I dont know where to start.

I want to make an apllication in wich you could login into you account and retrieve information stored at the server. information like personal date and news that the coder(me) could write , upload to server, and the users could download it.

I heard about mySQL , but I'm not sure whats that. Could you tell me what should I use to get my project ahead?

Thanks in advance.

you need to understand what you want and your tools! for login is maybe easy you need :

0 - 1 form for login (showed in start in you app)
1 - 2 labels (usename, password)
2 - 2 textbox, one in password mode
3 - table in you preferred server for sql (like MySQL or SQL Server)
4 - this table content 3 columns ID, Username, Password or just Username and Password
5 - 1 button for login
6 - and for login you test if information entred by user in form exists in table.

if you can do this steps, you can add "lost password", encrypt password to MD5 or like, etc...
