I am not a N900 developer or anything but would like a few pointers and some help if possible. I have a little PHP experience so I do know how to create databases and query them but not in Python or anything.

What I would like to do is to develop a simple app that just queries an online mysql database and pulls a query of 'random facts' from a table. Just a table of useful information and quotes.

The data would be something like:

>>>
The sound of a car horn is mostly in the "F" key.
<<<

I would like this to be displayed in a nice, simple but visual way on the N900.

Could someone help and point me to the easiest way to do this and perhaps to some resources that I could use?
Thx.
