Firstly u try doing using command line which will help u to understand concept
and working refer head first by Kathy sierra and use core editor like notepad
with command prompt.

for core java i suggest u to follow above. then moving to advance use any of IDE
u comfortable with. like Eclipse,Netbeans. try do u own.

Hi, everyone,

I'm a Java newbie looking to find my path with this fascinating language.

I have a remote history of traditional(!) C, and I'm pleased to see it
reincarnated complete without the confusing bits. Because of this, I probably
have more to unlearn than learn; so my question:

Does anyone know of resources online for guiding C (notC++) veterans in the way
of Java?

  Blessings,

Pete Morris

As a guy who does hiring I would not accept a demo.  There is no proof you even
built the demo.  I would just make certain you know your stuff.  When I
interview somebody, I find out what they know by starting with some basic
questions about the kind of builds the interviewee says they have done, then ask
specific questions about the technology.  Some "how would you do X?" questions.

I personally believe you should use an IDE.  Doing things from the command line
will not teach you Java which is your stated purpose.  I found Netbeans much
easier to set up and learn for a newbie.

Thanks for your very useful and precious suggestions. The books & references you

If you don't feel that I am repeating my query, I would like to ask one thing.
For a beginner like me, which is better 'command line' or IDE to start with? If

Hi everyone,

I would like to make a java demo for prospective employers but I don't know what
to make. What would you guys suggest I make so that employers will know that I
have the skills?

Thanks

It is the client (the browser) that caches Javascript.  This will happen if the
javascript is a reference to a javascript file, such as

<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myFile.js"></script>

and not contained within the page's HTML, such as

<script language="JavaScript">
   .
   .
   .
</script>

If the user restarts the browser, it will retrieve the updated javascript file
(myFile.js, in this case).

Michael,

Servers don't cache the scripts and pages, the client (browser) does.
And, yes, your scripts will not reload if you indicate in the HTML a
page expiration date. Any reloads before then will be handled solely in
the browser. But, remember, this affects all aspects of your web page:
not only the JavaScript, but the CSS, the HTML, and any other specialty
objects you have. If you have an input form on the page, DON'T DO
THIS!!!, for an updated page will not load in this case.

I'm not really a web front end guy, so the answer below might still be correct,
but if I understand correctly the client still gets the script from the server.
Don't the servers, depending on configuration, cache those scripts or are they
reloaded every time? If they are cached, how do the clients get the latest

Hi,
Set JVM  option in your program or your IDE(Netbeans  or ...) to :-Xms100m
-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
or find the best JVM's arguments for your system,i mean you can change 100m or
1024m or 512m  according to your RAM in
your system.

Khosro.

Subject: [Java] Problem with File I/O


Hi guys,

I have a problem with my program. I tried to make a simple program to download
pdf file from internet. First, I tried to use it for downloading text and html
file, it works well. but, it didn't work with pdf file. the program could
produce output file, but it can't be opened.

Here is the code snippet:

java.io.BufferedInp utStream in = new java.io.BufferedInp utStream( new
java.net.URL( "http://www.digilife .be/quickreferen ces/QRC/JAVA%
20Quick%20Refere nce.pdf").openStream( ));
java.io.FileOutputS tream fos = new java.io.FileOutputS tream("output. pdf");
java.io.BufferedOut putStream bout = new BufferedOutputStrea m(fos,1024) ;
byte data[] = new byte[1024];
while(in.read( data,0,1024) >=0)
{
bout.write(data) ;
}
bout.close() ;
in.close();

Anyone could give me the clue? BTW, is there any website that provide free java
library, especially one that support file operation (download, upload, etc)?

Thanks in advance.

1. Get the java EE, Glassfish, and Netbeans (IDE) combo from Sun.

http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp?userOsIndex=1&userOsId=linux&user\
OsName=Linux

That is the link for Linux.  If you are a Windoze user, go to java.sun.com.  On
the right select Java EE.  Click the "downloads" tab.  This should give you the
same list, but for windoze.  Under Linux, this bundle is the furthest to the
right.  The reason I suggest this is it will get all of the tools you need to
develop, deploy, and test within one bundle on one computer.  Glassfish is a
J2EE server that is well integrated with the Netbeans IDE.  You can dev, build,
and run without having to know much about the startup etc for the Glassfish
server.

1a.  I would also get the MySQL database.  You will need it for
Enterprise Java Beans development tutorials.  Again, this is avail-
able from Sun so the integration with the other products is
excellent.

2. Books.  First, go through all of the tutorials available as
tutorials on the Sun java site.  http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs
/tutorial/doc/.  I would also go through the tutorials on the home
page of the Netbeans IDE in order to get used to that tool.  The
book I am using is Murach's Java Servlets and JSP.  That may not sound
like J2EE, but trust me, it is.  You will need all of the building
blocks in this book to be able to do what you want.

Thanks,
Loyal

I just started learning Java a little over a month (maybe 2) ago.

I considered starting from the command-line, but I really do prefer
IDEs.  After a trying out Eclipse and Netbeans, I went with Netbeans as
I liked the GUI Builder.

I'd recommend the following, but YMMV applies:

1) Go here http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp  . Download
"JDK 6 Update 17 with NetBeans 6.7.1."   Also download  "Java SE 6
Documentation"
     I'd make sure that use pick the correct JDK (32 or 64 bit).

2) Start running through the Java Tutorials website:
     Really Big Index:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html
     Front Page: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/reallybigindex.html

3) I also read some books:
      Java For Dummies (mostly worthless)
      Java For Dummies All In One Desk Reference (much better)
      Core Java Volumes I & II (Excellent)
      Java How to Program, 8/e  was a textbook and really dense. Not what
I was looking for but might be useful

I will give you my opinion then let other trash me.  I am pretty
new to Java also.  Core Java is the first you should learn.  It
is java and only java coding where you can run the process from
the command line.  This will give you the basis on which to build.
Advanced Java involves the Web, messenging, database access, and a
thing called Enterprise Java Beans, etc.  These things enable you to
produce world-class applications.

You don't need the advanced to start out nor would I recommend that.
Learn the basics of java first.

No, absolutely not.  However the earlier training you had in C and
C++ will actually apply pretty well.  While Java is its own beast,
The creators were smart enough to borrow ideas of good programming
languages that already existed.  It is very obvious to me that the
creators knew C++ and took the best while fixing the rest. (IMHO)

Go to java.sun.com.  On the right click "Java SE".  That will take
you to a page to download "JDK 6 Update 16 with NetBeans 6.7.1".
This package will get you two products: 1. the Java Development Kit
version 6 update 16 and the NetBeans integrated development environ-
ment.  You don't need the second item to start, but will want it
as you learn.  The text editor in it is geared toward Java and will
help you every step along the way.

As for where to start, here are a couple of suggestions:
1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/reference/index.jsp and go through
the Sun tutorials.  Stick with the basics though, don't go for web
etc until you are comfortable with the basics.
2. My favorite book is "Thinking in Java" by Bruce Eckel.  You can
download the prior version FOR FREE here:
http://www.odioworks.com/46-Bruce_Eckel%27s_Free_Electronic_Books.html . The
latest revision
is available from most book sellers.  However, you will have to be
getting Java pretty good to need something past that free version.
