        Lesson 1: Java is not an acronym, so it's not written JAVA ;-)

          Wow, you sound just like Jos! But, actually JAVA is an acronym!

            I stand corrected. I suppose I should buy everyone a round of Grolsch, then?

              Good luck to you, three months ago, I had no clue, now I am starting to get my feet wet. Don't give up even it Java eats you alive;-)


              Hello Sam, hey gang!

              I was coming over to let you all know tonight was my last class, Exam 3, the Final. I got everything answered, whether I answered correcly is another matter. Code worked for everything nonetheless, also not in the same manner it was designed to be received by the professor, but nothing was left undone.

              I should be excited here but I am not, (too supersticious) had my notebook with me the whole time "pipe screen saver".

              ...I want to hear how poorly or well I did first.

              For now, I consider moving to next level. An additional course in Java is probably next semester. I did register for Linux, but I think, I'll stay with Java a little so I do not lose touch, if the Spring session adds it to the curriculum.

              Good luck to all of you:-)

                      That's great! Hopefully, she will give lots of grace and throw out the early grades. It was easier for me since I work with C# every day, so I knew what to expect. With just your VB background, it was like learning Chinese after only knowing Spanish. Now, spend that two weeks reading ahead and doing the next two chapter's homework! --Sam

                        You read it like a champ, Sammy, twas a whole different ball game for me. Thanks! I have started messing around with old labs to see what I missed:-)

                        Have a great week!

                          Sammy, where are ya?

                          I might have asked you whether you're going for another round of this, I forget...

                          Round two begins on Wednesdays, Linux Thursdays... We will be using Eclipse this time around, good thing you guys have mentioned Eclipse, been fooling around with it, should give me an edge:-)

                          So in class this semester...

                          Do wish me luck still, I suspect this one will also be heavy, a lot of math involved, hee hee...

                          In a bit!

                            Good luck in that Dököll :)

                            Sounds to me like you're making some of your own though. Keep doing the work and the understanding (and results) will surely follow.

                              Much appreciated NeoPa!

                              I was coming over to report tonight I got a sense if I stay focus I should be alright. I also got a real taste of the Eclipse SDK, what ease of use, stuff I never new existed.

                              So that in itself is big boost, no time wasted learning to use the software... Handed in my first Lab already, a little sketchy but hey it's in, I'll hear what wrong with it I'm sure...

                              But thanks, NeoPa, I stay the path, will keep you guys posted;-)

                                You probably don't want to know -- I currently have the twirls -- that's where you don't know whether to sit on the toilet or bend over! Oh, you just wanted to know about Java? Well, like you, I'm in round 2, finished files and collections. You should have seen the class when I showed them how to use Comparator<> as a base class to do Collection.Sort (list, comparator) auto-magically. Even the teacher was boggled! Generic collections are so useful, but our book only mentioned them in a sidebar.

                                Two chapters to go: I'm currently starting the database chapter, dreading the servelet chapter, and planning for a final project -- it will be a Data Mining app with a KML file output for display in Google Earth. Everything wraps up on 18 March.

                                BTW, here's a good link for you http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ybigindex.html. Also, I found a good Java reference book: Java Phrasebook, by Timothy Fisher. It's small, cheap ($17 US), and doesn't have any of the confusing Frame stuff that an IDE should do for you. Anyway, have fun in your new course! --Sam
