Deploy a basic Java application to users in a network
<p>I need some tips on creating a Java application. A few words about the application: <strong>people in the company will log in with a pwd; customised access types; possibility to perform changes in a remote database from a host within the network.</strong></p>

<p>This is probably a very simple program. At first I don't care for security matters, that can be optimised in time. I just don't know how to start. </p>

<p>So far I've played with some algorithms (I like algorithms), connected an applet to a database and done a few select/updates, a couple of swings. </p>

<p>Even something that sounds like detailed chapter titles that I can investigate can prove useful, as I'm not sure what to look for when I want to create an application that can be distributed in a network.</p>

<p>Based on the previous: </p>

<ol>
<li><strong>What do I need to create? An applet, a swing, etc? Should it be an .exe and how is that done roughly?</strong>
Thanks for any tips.</li>
<li><strong>I hear the application should come with an installation kit? What will that install - probably the JRE after checking whether it's installed on the client PC?</strong> What else?</li>
</ol>

<p>Other tips that I should know for starters?</p>

<p>I'm not worried about algorithms or class names in the context of a user action (a select/update,etc)- I can find those in libraries. I'm interested in how to actually create a basic application that can be sent to users all over the company (methodology/practices/trainings), that they can run and see on their screen the result of a simple select, let's say. Any pointers/good references - as there are a lot of sites out there and not all are good. Thank you!</p>
