 | I'm pretty new to programming. I want to know how you build a free
standing program with an interface that can run by itself - like an
..exe file or something of that nature. I took a year course in java
but i still don't know how to do that kind of stuff. what kind of
programming do i need to learn to be able to do this?

With Java package your program in a .jar file.

Java does not do .exe files very well.
..exe is specific to windows. If it is to run on Linux, or Macs, it has to
be different. Thus, you loose many of the Java advantages if you choose to
make .exe files. So don't bother.
C/C++ and other languages can be compiled to .exe.
BTW, this issue is deeper than it seems. I'll just leave it here though.
