You really have a lot of choices and it depends on which language you prefer. Since you know PHP you could pick up C++, C# or Java fairly easy. You can find some beginner guides in our tutorial section: http://forum.codecall.net/tutorials/

Personally, I think that php to java will be the easiest transition to make

Since you already know PHP, you can use PHP-Gtk to create your desktop applications.

PHP GTK ? Nice idea

Are the application that created with that can be extracted to executable file ?

Thanks

I would veer away from PHP GTK because PHP is made for websites, not for applications lol You can get away with it, but PHP wasn't built to run on a desktop as much as it was to serve a webpage.

I would love to see a comparison of PHP vs Java on benchmarks, but thats for another thread and time

So how about with VB and JAVA ?
For Java which that used for Desktop Application ?
Are J2ME , J2EE, or J2SE ?

VB are 2 kinds , VB and VB.net ?
What the different ?

VB and Java are 2 different programming languages, but both were made to run on pcs as applications, Its just that Java was built to run in a virtual emulator (the Java Runtime Environment) while VB was made to run in windows only.

VB is the old VB.net if I'm not mistaking.

VB6 does not use the .NET runtime environment. It's programs do tend to need the vbrun.dll, however.

C# could also be an alternative, if you stick to Windows. Java, C# - it's all the same...
