I am doing a website for a candy store, they are selling over 1000 products. I am transferring the old website built in html/css/javascript/php with a mysql database. To Joomla! with a mysql database. I am not very experienced with databases. Is there an easy way to transfer the product information from one to the other (names, prices, weights etc...)? Thanks!
If the old database and the new joomla database are on the same server, there are some tools that allow you to transfer tables from one database to another. Here's one that you can download for free:

It's in Beta right now. It's a got a good database cloner that will allow you to clone all the tables over into another db. You can tell it not to overwrite existing tables, so that's pretty useful.
There is also a table manager that allows to export tables one by one into other dbs.
