Going from PHP to Java
<p>Having been programming in PHP for a year, I now want to start learning Java. I am in a Windows environment. </p>

<p>I want to develop a GUI with Java that would query a MySQL database. I know I would use JFC to accomplish this, but my questions are: </p>

<ul>
<li>Will it be difficult to adapt to Java?</li>
<li>Do I benefit for learning Java because I know PHP?</li>
</ul>
