    Köll & Sam Classroom Blog

    Hello Dudes and Dudettes!

    I am excited to announce I am embarking on a new Journey, JAVA baby. This is a new arena for me, hope I survive and able to muscle through it.

    Will post articles within three months from now.

    Wish me luck!

            I've heard of JAVA Beans, but not JAVA Baby! But now, Mary can have another Mod in Java! Tonight is my first Java class also. Got to keep up with you kids!

              One of the unis my son may go to has JAVA as the fundamental language of choice so I may take it up (time permitting) if he goes there.
              Prolly not for a year or two though ;)

              Good luck anyway Dököll :)

                Remember; for those late night classes, nothing keeps you up and attentive like JAVA. Or Tea.

                  It's too bad almost nobody knows about Objective C anymore (except for those
                  Apple folks). Objective C stole^H^H^H^H^H borrowed a lot from SmallTalk and
                  Apple (NextStep/OpenStep) added quite a large library to Objective C.

                  If you've worked with that library you can see that Java isn't a very original work.
                  Java's core classes stole^H^H^H^H^H borrowed a lot from NextStep/OpenStep.

                  And they deleted a very important fun feature from the language: runtime type
                  checking. Sun must've judged it a too dangerous feature ... Introspection just
                  doesn't make it compared to Objective C's rttc.

                  kind regards,

                  Jos

                    my professor's a monster, she says she'll have no mercy, I think that about sums the fact I'll need to truly stay awake for this one.

                    My wife juiced me up today, with tea though, berries and so on...As weird as it sounds, I think I need a better chair, a chair truly uncomfortable though:-) And that's the weird part, I fall asleep in my current one, too comfortable, I need steel, I think, cold...

                    ...weird...but I think that might help keep me awake. Which is very important because I am certain I'll have my nose in it late, cannot do much here in the afternoon.

                    So yeah! I am prepared, also an oversized mug should do the trick:-)

                      My prof seems better than I expected. She did a really good job and is very organized. I just need to sit next to the projector screen: I couldn't see a thing from across the room. What book are you using? Mine is Shelly, Chashman's Java Programming (Comprehensive) . Good luck! --Sam

                        Shelly makes good books, mine's David J. Barnes and Michael Kölling, interesting last name:-) Book's name is Objects First with Java, it's an introduction to it so you may have a stronger version. I do sit right out front, I like to listen and take notes at the same time...thanks Sam!

                        Have a great week-end...

                          You should look into Big Java. It's the book I learned Java on, and it's awesome.

                            It's for two terms

                            >Big Java
                            I was hoping for Little Java! BTW, Ganon, we can post our homework on the Java board and you'll do it, right?

                              The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

                              Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidelines.

                              Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.
