Back to the future, or learning Java

Hello! This is my first post on Habré. And I decided to write about how I had to restore my programming knowledge and learn a new language for myself. By the way, I studied at a technical college, and I used to program very well before, but I did not write a single line for 4 years already. Yuzal With, With ++, there were any that nonsenses. Now I manage a large Internet startup where I have to deal with a large number of programmers who blow their heads up and make life difficult for us, honest businessmen%). Dribbling with them, I realized that you can argue with them only by knowing very well what they are trying to tell me. As a result, I decided to learn more about Java, Jboss and all the ins and outs. The task is to complete the design of software for the network of instant payment terminals and databases. Evaluation of labor costs for the implementation of the entire project. At the same time I learn more about the technology to expand the horizons.

Actually I will write what I managed to do for what period, from where I got info and what problems I faced. Fundamentally, I did not buy books, because I know that the language is young, developing, and JBoss is even younger, until we have a book, 2 new versions will be released there.

The beginning: December 5, 2007.

Download NetBeans. Installed. Everything works%)) there is no further Worldwide Hell manual%)) I had to look for tutorials. On the website of IBM smart tutorials. You just need to register and go.

I finish the first tutorial. All OOP concepts. All you need is desire and English. Here you will learn how to work with Eclips IDE and generally the beginning. Key features, Java syntax, features. Some methods of the standard library. You will learn how to work with objects, how to reload methods, and so on. In general, the language will appear in all its glory. The only thing in the tutorial is that there are mistakes in some places and one of the examples does not work for the stupid, but a person who knows everything will understand%).

I will continue to write about it, stay in touch.
