I don't see why not!

Well, the term is over and I survived with a 102.66% average!D You're got to love extra credit: never helps the poor student because they do not have time to do the extra work! Anyway, many thanks to Jos, Gannon and r0 for information support and the rest of you for the encouragement. I'll have harder questions next term, but I'm going to get a headstart tonight. Next chapter is files; finally will have some data to work with. Now, if the weather would just get warm for one more bike ride before the snow!

congrats on an outstanding mark!

Only a 102.66%? Really, I'm disappointed in you. :-P

Congrats, and bring it on! Everyone is ready to help you out (but only if you read those posting guidelines! XD)

I hope you now have the whole Sun Java tutorial on your computer together with the API specs for all the standard Java classes/interface.

@Sam: well done, congrats. Java's IO package is extremely well implemented;
you just have to figure out it's 'structure', i.e. the entire thing is based on the
decorator pattern; as soon as you recognize that you can do wonders with it.

kind regards,

Jos

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!

Wish you the best dude/dudette

Sooweet!

Good job, Sammy...

I am almost there. Will definitely pass but I can't be quick to say with such high marks, well done Sammy!

We end sessions next week near me. Will let you know:-)

GOOD LUCK
you will love it

During my "Object Oriented Programming" class,last year,my professor adopted
"Core Java" from Cay Horstmann and he even made his lesson slides upon that book.
I have to say that is a very clear and concise book with all the key java features and technicalities explained through many examples.
who agrees?

[Dököll]

GOOD LUCK
you will love it

Many thanks, hsn!

I think I am loving it. Actually came on here to report I have just revamped a Lab I was boasting about scoring fairly comfortable points in. Looks like something clicked into place, I can read the language differently. Not quick to say, I'll master all of it anytime soon, but I think I am definitly getting the basics.

Last exam is this Wednesday, 12th, December. I will know then if I should take it again so I get or move on to next level. Again, wish me luck:-)

I am hoping to get them removed. An attempt to fix seems to take.

I've been programming, and programming in Java for so long that it's hard for me to judge intro text books. I hope that doesn't sound like bragging, but I'm just saying my viewpoint is different. Anyhowdy, I've seen a number of positive reviews of "Head First Java":

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/

The format drives me nuts -- wacky graphics with thought bubbles, but I can see the points they're making. I could also see why a professor may be too self-conscious to use it as a textbook, as well.

You may be happy with your assigned textbook, but have you looked at any others? Comments?

Hiya, MarshMallow!

The book I am using seems to do wonders, at least now it seems to make sense, was just a book before:

Michael Kölling and David J Barnes "Object Frst With Java" 3rd edition.

A number of references were made through this thread specific to other books,sites and so on. Have a look. Good luck in your projects:-)
