Sorry this is a bit vague, just asking for a rough idea of how to achieve my goal so I can research into it.
Basically want to make a message board type system, but have a desktop application that when running will check the db every minute or whatever, and if there are any new messages to sprout a popup.
Would this be easiest in java or any other ideas? I am a PHP / mySQL dev, with some C and Java experience from uni days so I know my way about + google for the win
Any tips would be great
