I WANT ENLIGHTMENT IN JAVA

guys
ive been fed up with my assignments.i took introductory java course in my first semister(6 months back).I rethink everytime ive to solve something like..say inheritance problems.i should accept that i dnt find enough time to practise java(bad time management right), which is also due to whole lot of material on web,which scares shit of me
ive 2 more months to go for my final exams.my course involves stuff like gui's,threading,corba,server-client programming,networking stuff...
can somebody say from their experience how to learn the above java topics in the available time.ahhh like how many hours shud i spend per day,and any sources for learning java better and fast

As stated the java tutorials are great, but also you have course material that you will be responsible for--I'm sure you have at least 1 book (most of my programming classes had at least 3). So get to reading them.
How much time you should spend--let me see, most of the engineering classes I had recommend at least 2 hours of work per hour of class; sounds like you are on a semester or trimester schedule so each class is probably 3 hours per week. That should give 6 hours per week of study (minimum recomended per hour of class dosage), you have neglected 6 months of studies so 6(months)*4.5(weeks per month)*6(hours per week) = 162 hours extra over the next 9 weeks. So you have 9*6+162 = 216 hours over the next 9 weeks. That comes out to 24 hours per week or 8 hours per class hour. That should get you up to the point of one of the serious students in the class that has been studying all along.
So crack open those books, and get the java tutorial, and nimble up those fingers if you're at all serious.
BTW: it is your choice, the college and industry expect most of the engineering and computer science students to not make it through their courses. That is why they grade on a curve--only the most competitive will survive (now before I'm flamed for this--yes, I realize it is not the prefect way and it does not reflect the best programmers survive--but it is the way it's done).
You know, I want to be a concert pianist, but not enough to pay the price--think about it: do you want it enough?

  • For all the newbies who wants to learn Java

    I was a newbie like 4 months ago. i have some skills of OOP in C++ like 2 years back but since then i did'nt took any of programming language courses. I have experience in MSaccess and MYsql. i did my internship Last summer with Tennessee Education Lottery as a Database Analyst. At that time i realized what a Corporate Enviorment looks like. Trust me it was a formal interview and i passed it and they placed me in the IT department to write some scripts for the GUI terminal and at the same time create a Company Security Database. i did completed my project but i had to Learn Mysql. and then i realized Java was getting very popular. alot of people told me in the forums to go Java tutorial but i will not agree to start from the sun tutorial. you can do it only if you have a good or may be medium experience of OOP. it was really tough for me and then this magic guy came on the forum and told me to go on this website if you want to learn Java.
    http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/cs151java.html
    This site is a brilliant site specially the exercise problems and the quizes really attracted me to Java alot and now i came to realize how easy it is to program in Java rather than C++. Java forums have helped me alot in solving those exercise problems (not with the code but with a good explanation) which was very helpful for me. out of my 210 post i guess i have helped 30 people out and the rest of the questions are regarding those exercises. i came to know encapsulation, inheritance and all that stuff. though i am still not very perfect like i am still having trouble with ComparTo thing but it takes more practice. the more you practice the more you learn. so all the newbies if you really want to learn java even if you dont have any experience in OOp this is the site where you need to start. Hope this will definitely help you alot. thanks to all the Senior members navycoder, captain, paulcw, duffy, turingpest and others also who have helped me in the past. without you i would have not achieved the goal of learning java. now my next step is going to be learn GUI programming Swing. looks fun to me. but at the same time i have my final project for this semester to make on ONline Testing program which will have a database, php scripting and html and xml.
    I will post if i have any problems

  • I want to run java program on windows environment as background process

    Hi all
    I want to run java program on windows environment as background processSo command prompt return after executing java command and program on background In Linux we can do this easily �but I do not how to do this in windows
    for example look this programe
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class TestClass {
         class ravi extends Thread{
              public void run(){
                   try {    
                        String target_file = "ravind.txt";
                        File targetfile = new File(target_file);
                        PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(targetfile)) ;
                   for (int i =0 ; i < 100 ;i++ ){
                        Thread.sleep(10000);
                        writer.println(" ravindra shukla ");
              } catch (Exception e) {               
                             e.printStackTrace();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              TestClass test1 = new TestClass();
              TestClass.ravi r1 = test1.new ravi();
              r1.start();          
    System.out.println(" return from main ");
    first i compile this
    javac TestClass.java
    then i run this by using this command
    java TestClass
    but becouse i put sleep on threads run function so it takes to much time to get return on command promt .... i want to run this programe as background process so command promt return as soon as i execute java command

    Thanks dude
    This solution �start java TestClass� works fine �. But it does not solve my problem
    It opens another black window and that black window persist till the life time of my program
    Is it possible application run on complete background without opening another black window �as in Linux

  • HT2404 I want to download java for my 10.5.8

    I want to download java for my 10.5.8.

    I have now manually upgraded to Firefox 3.6.28 since the normal update did not work for me - perhaps because I recently returned from TenFourFox which shares the same preferences. The Java clock on http://links.zero.eu.org/time/ still works for me.
    For others, all Firefox releases are here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
    At no time has my Firefox said the same as John's ie:
    John wrote:
    Firefox 3.6.28: For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please upgrade to the latest version.
    Has anybody else had the above message?
    I see that update 10 says:
    From: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
    About Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
    Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10 delivers improved compatibility, security, and reliability by updating J2SE 5.0 to 1.5.0_30, and updating Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_26 for 64-bit capable Intel-based Macs.
    J2SE 1.4.2 is no longer being updated to fix bugs or security issues and remains disabled by default in this update.
    Can anybody explain the meaning of the last sentence in relation to PPC? Would 1.4.2 normally be replaced by 1.5.0 or would they normally both be active?
    I saw elsewhere that when Apple disable some Java items they provide a means to re-enable them although there is a timer which automatically disables after a period of non-use.

  • I want to use Java for dynamic web programming...

    And don't know what to learn, JSP or servlets or both. I'm guessing it would be best to learn both, but I don't want to buy two books. Are there any books that teach both fairly well?

    I don't know how it covers them I am not learning them at the moment.
    Why don't you try searching for JSP and/or Servlets at Amazon.co.uk, Doesn't the JSP and Servlet section of the java.sun.com also have recommended books?, I have just done that search at amazon.co.uk and found these three instantly...the top two have reviews and ratings from other people. There are MANY book websites out there, try searching on this as well.

  • Want in implement Java oracle Forms.

    Hi,
    I want to learn how to implement java in oracle form, and that to I want it using oracle forms builder and not using Jbuilder.
    E.g. implementing Java Beans in oracle forms.
    As I am a begineer in this field, please guilde me from where I should start and what I should read for this.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    If you talk about creating Java components for Forms, you can't avoid using a Java IDE - but Oracle has JDeveloper, and it's free! :) What you need is basic knowledge about Java and how Forms can interact with Java components, and the links from Francois should give you a good starting point for that.
    You can also find a lot of inspiration of what you can do with Java in Forms at Francois' blog:

  • I want to download Java Script in order to print coupons, but can't seem to make it happen....help would be appreciated!

    I am a new Mac/Apple user, trying to download so I can print coupons from a website.  It keeps saying the plug-in is not present, go to the 'apple' on my mac & click on 'software update'.  When I do that, all I get is an update for my HP printer.  This message is coming from a Java website page.  Just not sure what I'm doning incorrectly.

    I think I understand the problem, but am not sure of the solution. What you want is Java not JavaScript which is a totally different thing.
    Lion is supposed to automatically offer to install Java for you if you try to run a Java applet on your Mac, but you don't have such a thing, yet.
    Apple has posted Java for OS X Lion Update 1 here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421, but I don't know whether or not you need to already have Java installed or if this is a complete installation. Go ahead and give it a try as it can't do any harm and it does contain the patches necessary to avoid the problem that Thomas mentioned above. Just remember to turn Java off in your browser when you aren't using it to print your coupons. Once you have it initially installed then Software Update will take care of keeping it up-to-date in the future.

  • Want to hide Java Console Window when launching apps on Solaris 9.

    Hi,
    I am working in a Solaris environment with Solaris 9.
    When I launch any of my applications, the java console window appears.
    I want to hide this window.
    The java version that I am using is JDK 1.3.1_01.
    I found this link that shows you how to configure your java settings to hide the console window.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
    1. I placed the deployment.config file in the appropriate directory:
         ${deployment.java.home}/lib/deployment.config     (${deployment.java.home} is the location of the jre from which the deployment products are run.
         Deployment products include Java Web Start, Java Plug-in, Java Control Panel...)
         In this file I have the following:
         deployment.system.config=/.java/.deployment/deployment.properties     
         deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
         deployment.console.startup.mode=HIDE 2. The /.java/.deployment/deployment.properties file is not created by default.
    So I created it but still the java console window appeared.
    The above configuration is the system level settings taken from the webpage I specified above.
    I have also tried the user level settings but to no avail.
    Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
    Rgds,
    Adrian.

    Hi all,
    Thanks Jacky, the Control Panel is the best way to �hide� the console window.
    I have achieved this when using java 1.4.2.
    But when using java 1.3.1_09, the control panel does not give me the option to "Hide console" or "Do not start console� as is the case when using java 1.4.2.
    What it goes give is �Show Java Console� checkbox which I have unchecked and minimises the console on the desktop as a result.
    Perhaps the functionality to hide (ie: not display) the console window is not available in the java 1.3.1_09 version?

  • Do I want to learn Java?

    Hello...I have been developing applications for about 8 years but I have never used Java. Lately I have been using vb.Net 2005 and I feel like it is getting too big for my needs. The applications I want to write are more like Tools or Utilities than Enterprise software. Visual studio 2005 runs slow on my computer and it just seems to be taking more time to write applications than it used to. I'm looking for a new programming language that is powerful but can compile into a smaller footprint and can simply be created faster with less complications. I'm looking for something that can be distributed without worry that the client computer may not have all the parts and pieces required to make the program run. Java seems to be a very popular language...is this what I am looking for? My platform will remain windows and I will need to access SQL Server.

    Hi,
    Java is a very powerful language, but java applications do also have a large footprint (in memory, not on disk), so Java might not be the language for you sinc the applications also requires that the client machine has a VM.
    The plus side is that it's very easy to write distributed applications in Java, and it's also pretty easy to access databases.
