I'm starting A2 Computing in September and have already been told to think about our project work.
As an amateur (but not complete beginner) programmer I've decided to do a database with a website front end, something along the lines of the College/Uni intranets you see (like http://my.nhc.ac.uk). I don't have a client yet, but that's not hard to sort out/make up.

To give me a bit of a head start I'm going to brush up on the programming over the summer. Just wondering what languages I'll need, so I can get the books in. I was thinking SQL, but when I went to buy, I saw some Oracle ones that seemed to cover similar topics?

Any help would be much appreciated. Ours is done in JSP, which I already have books for but think that might be a little out of my league (or maybe the whole project is? Any comments, I mean, it's not going to be overly complicated.)
