Beginner's Tutorial: J2ME

I want to learn J2ME. And there are a lot of tutorials out there, so I'm kinda confuse which to pick first.
Can you guys recommend a good tutorial for beginners? Thanks!

DW4 is a real relic - released way back in 2000. I hope you mean DW CS4 which uses modern web standards.
Dreamweaver (whichever version you use) is going to be much easier to learn if you understand HTML & CSS basics first. Don't put the cart before the horse.

General Questions + looking for good beginner's tutorial

Hello,
I'm a web-developer with some hobbyist-level experience in programming Java applications.
I'd like to write a content management system for my own clients, I was going to go with PHP, but thought I'd try it with Java instead. So the first step is to learn the Java web technologies! I'm pretty comfortable with the Java programming language, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to the Web APIs.
After some messing about, I've got Tomcat 6 running in Linux, and have played around creating a few JSP 2.0 pages. My first impression is that it seems incredibly complicated to do something that would be very simple in PHP: I have to define a tag in an XML library, and create a whole new class & object, using "magic" methods etc., just to output something very simple. I actually had a look at the JSP 1.2 examples, and they looked to me much simpler and more intuitive, with the code written inline in the HTML, much more like PHP. That makes more sense to me, but I suppose I should make an effort to learn the newer technology? Should I be using Tomcat 7 to learn instead of Tomcat 6?
I also had a look at the Java Servlet examples. These make more sense to me than JSP too. JSP pages just seem to be adding an extra layer of complexity on things with custom tags and tag definitions, etc., and I can't quite understand why. Maybe I will when I'm more experienced...
Can anyone point me towards some good tutorials that start at the beginning. I've pieced together what I've been able to figure out so far from the Tomcat 6 documentation pages and by experimenting with the structure of the various xml files included with tomcat, as well as copying the structure of the Tomcat 6 example pages. I've tried doing google searches for tutorials, but they all are either very out-dated (circa 1999), or they assume a whole bunch of knowledge.
I have learned a lot by experimenting with and re-creating the Tomcat 6 examples pages, but a good, simple, not-too-technical, beginner's tutorial would be a great help in "tying it all together" and removing some of the "magic stuff".
Thanks very much for your help.

The reason we separate projects into layers is because project grow over time to a point where its impossible to maintain if we don't separate it into modules.

Tutorial for Grandpa

Does anybody have or know of a SUPER beginner iPhone tutorial? I got my grandfather an iPhone hoping to keep in touch with him via email and occasionally send him a photo or two. I have ordered a Dummies book for seniors but it won't arrive for another week. I wish I could teach him in person but I live on another continent and I don't want to lose momentum--he's excited but quickly getting discouraged because I'm not to able to explain things well enough over the phone for him to "get it"--I'm talking real basic things like how to check mail. He has zero knowledge about what email really entails or what website browsing is about.) I hope to get him up to speed so that he eventually can send an email and do a google search.

Please, help me learn J2EE...point me out to better tutorials or something!

Hi,
Guys, I really need help in trying to learn what J2EE is.
I've got prior knowledge and experience on Java (I thought), but ever since I came across the terms J2EE, EJB, JNI, JSP, JDBC and all that crap, I now don't know what I actually learnt!
Please bear with me I beg of you! :)
1.0: What I've learnt.
===============================
So far, I've learnt (I think) the core/basics of the Java language, covering uhm...the basics up to GUIs, Arrays, IOStreams...yeah I think that's it.
I code using notepad and compile them using the SDK...which up to now I still don't know if it is an SE or EE edition. It's j2sdk1.4.0 the last time I checked. I didn't use any IDE.
I've done (school) projects like a Library System (involves loaning of books and charges etc etc), a Chalet Organizer (Loaning out chalets/rooms and charges etc etc) and an Appointment Organizer.
So what was that which I learnt? Am I right to say that that is only core Java and nothing else and is next to worthless in the working world?
2.0: Why I want to learn J2EE.
===============================
Okay so why do I want to learn specifically J2EE? Well, most employment opportunities here require J2EE and EJB (and maybe some other alien terms) as prerequisites to being a "Java Programmer".
I really need the job as soon as possible (for family's sake) and the job market here is already saturated with webmasters..
3.0: What I have tried.
===============================
Believe me, I tried for like 2 months already to try learn this thing on my own.
I have followed almost exactly to the J2EE "Beginner's Tutorial" found on http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/ but no matter how far I read, I'm still just as clueless as I was when I was in my mother's womb about what J2EE is all about, even though I did the examples. I stopped somewhere in the middle of "Getting Started" because I realized I wasn't learning anything at all.
4.0: Help meeeeeee...
===============================
4.1:
Can anyone please help me set my head straight and either point me to a REAL beginner's tutorial on J2EE and what the heck it is, or help explain to me slowly what J2EE really is and how to learn it?
4.2:
What's the difference between J2EE and J2SE?!? I initially thought that J2SE was simply just a smaller download which didn't include some of the heavier stuff that the EE carried, but boy was I wrong when that same tutorial asked me to install BOTH of them!
4.3:
Is it right for me to think that EJB are just files which are precoded to facilitate programming? e.g.:(I could've written up my own Date class instead of using the standard Date class that everybody uses.)
4.4:
What the hell is Jakarta Ant? Is it a builder and not a compiler, and may allow me to run built programs just by double-clicking on an e.g. executable? Like C++? So that I don't have to go to command prompt and type "java myApp.class"? (OT, but I think it's ridiculous that Apache has this and not Sun!!)
4.5:
Is there a simpler, much much much simpler example of a J2EE tutorial besides the overly vague tutorial "The Duke's Bank Application"? I need more examples of smaller scale maaaan... Better yet, is there a tutorial around that covers the very very very basics of Java all the way up to J2EE, step by step and with ample explanations?
=========================
Thanks all, I would really really appreciate any heads up you can provide me with.
Sincerely, Kai.

Lee and tsith - same fella -
Run Tomcat as a standalone critter - the install of the current ver (4.1.12?) on a Windows machine sets it up nicely, and you don't have to worry about web connectors and stuff. Just create a few JSPs and dump them somewhere under the ROOT directory of your webapps directory and you should be able to hit them via a URL like http://localhost:8080/test.jsp (assuming you have it running on port 8080). Once you get your fill of the JSP thing, make a serrvlet and look into creating WAR files - then copy your WAR file into webapps subdirectory of your Tomcat installation and play with that. When you've had enough Servlet fun, then look into JBoss and making EAR files and you'll have all sorts of fun with JNDI and JDBC and all those other acronyms.
Ant is just a build tool, not a compiler. Compiling simple java classes is no big deal, 'cause you just type javac MyClass.java or some such. But when you get into complicated build processes (like, compile these classes, making sure to include the J2EE jar and all the other jars I need, and create a WAR file, and deploy it to Tomcat) then Ant really helps.
If you want help documenting your classes, the javadoc tool is for you.

Where to start in Oracle Apps R12

Hi
I am completely new in Oracle Apps. I have lot of experience in Microsoft technologies (SQL Server, .Net) but never worked in Oracle Apps before. Now trying to learn it.
I installed Oracle Apps R12 on a virtual linux machine for learning. I selected "empty database" at the time of installation (i.e. not Vision installation) and logged in as sysadmin. But now I don't know where to start. Let's say I want to use the Financials module to enter some fake data and then create a report. Where do I start? I searched in Google but looks like none of the "beginner's tutorial" have that info.
Can someone help me or direct me to some tutorial/documentation which will help me to start?
Thanks for your help.

You could try something like:
http://www.beginner-java-tutorial.com/java-swing-tutorial.html
but I still think the one Sun has is the best. I did that years ago (1.2) and from there have just kept up with the changes and forums. Swing is complex, from the basic understanding of not blocking the event dispatch thread to understanding gridbaglayouts, you might want to try and find a really good book on swing (I used to have one a few years ago... don't ask me what it was...)

How to automate accept client of the server side?

How do you get Automator to click a button on a web page?

New to mac automation. Finding the basic handling of URLs in automator relatively straightforward. Cannot see however you can automate the click of a button on a web page. Can any one help?
MacBook pro. Mountain lion.

Watch Me Do may work, but it's also likely to fail. The action records mouse and keyboard actions as they take place on screen. If the (aptly abbreviated) WMD action doesn't find the expected screen elements--everything just where it first was when the recording was made--it will usually bomb. In other words, WMD doesn't, for instance, find fields or buttons on a webpage, it simply navigates to a screen location and tries to type/click as it has been instructed in that spot. A few pixels off, boom!

Ps not working: Basic File- New does not provide area to work in

I installed PS CC ... started it up... tried File->New and no layer shows up... it shows up on right side.

System is Firefox, Win 7 (SP1) running on i7 @ 2.20 GHz. Laptop - 8GB 64-bit OS
Not sure about document setting? [I am new to Photoshop... I did not do change any settings just started it up... I was just following the beginner's tutorial for creating a college, I didn't do any changes to any settings... after installation.
This morning after several hours .... the Ps "work space" showed the 2 layers - Background and photo (that I dragged and dropped)....
So it seems that performance is UNBELIEVABLELY SLOW...
I tried to resize the photo but nothing happens on the work space.... the right side bar shows photo in lower right quadrant ... but actual photo is taking most of the background (before I resized)...
Any tips on speeding up performance?

Using Applescript to convert avi dropped into a folder to iTunes

Hi everyone,
Im new to Applescript. Im trying to write a script that will take .avi files dropped into a certain folder and automatically start iSquint, add the files to iSquint and then start the conversion.
I use Vuze to download video. Vuze will automatically move completed downloads to a folder named "to be converted".
My goal is to set that folder up so that every time something is moved to the folder, it will start the script and convert the files to an iTunes format. iSquint will automatically add them to my iTunes library once the conversion is complete.
So Vuze and iSquint are doing the start and finish of this task, as well as the heavy work of actually downloading and converting. Its just all the stuff in the middle that I need.
Ive gotten as far as getting the script to get Finder to point to the folder and start iSquint. But thats it. Also, the script will only get Finder to point to the folder if Finder is already open. If everything is closed, nothing happens.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "To be converted" of folder "My Downloads" of folder "Movies" of folder "mark" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
tell application "iSquint"
activate
end tell
Can someone get me moving in the right direction. Oh yeah did I mention I hardly know a thing about Applescript, so you might need to add the "obvious" details.
thanks!
mark

Since you hardly know a thing about Applescript, you might first have a look at this [Web page|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript> about AppleScript and this [Beginner's Tutorial|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/index.html].
Then you might try to attach a Folder Action script to the folder named “to be converted”.
See [Folder Actions Reference|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/AppleScript/Conc eptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/reference/ASLRfolderactions.html] in the [AppleScript Language Guide|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptu al/AppleScriptLangGuide/introduction/ASLRintro.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40000983-CH208-SW1].
See also the example scripts in this folder: “/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/”, particularly the example entitled “add - new item alert.scpt”.
Your Action Folder script should look somewhat like the following:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "iSquint"
activate
--the rest of your code
end tell
end try
end adding folder items to
where this_folder is the folder named "to be converted" and added_items is a list of the .avi files added to the folder.
Good luck!

PHP error help needed

I've worked through the Adobe tutorial, "Developing a web

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/develop_web_application.html).
Everything works fine until I get to the final step of
testing the Record

>> Murray,
>>
>> Here's an Update/Summary:
>>
>> 1. I have a MySQL database (localhost) I can see and
manipulate via
>> Navicat
>> 2. In my site (in DW) I created a connection to that
database. It tested
>> successfully.
>> 3. I created a recordset using that database. It
tested successfully.
>> 4. On a new page Insert > Application Objects
> Insert Record > Record
>> Insertion Form Wizard.
>> 5. Save page and preview locally in IE6.
>> 6. Input info in form and click Insert record.
>> 7. Record IS added to table but every field is Null.
>> 8. Errors for each form field:
>> Warning: mysql_real_escape_string()
[function.mysql-real-escape-string]:
>> Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using
password: NO) in
>> F:\Webs\GoFreeFuel\TMP4r8sq1dpfl.php on line 8

>> Warning: mysql_real_escape_string()
[function.mysql-real-escape-string]:
>> A link to the server could not be established in
>> F:\Webs\GoFreeFuel\TMP4r8sq1dpfl.php on line 8
>>
>> As I can read from the database/table and the Insert
record form DOES ADD
>> a record it would seem I am connected to the db just
unable to add data.

>> What have I done wrong?
