Hello i am a really young programmer, you can bet, I am hope to improve Naija's IT industry thru software. I av learnt VB 6 and am currently learning Java. I pls need one of the java programmer's out dere to send to my mail box the setup prog for any version of the java development kit higher than Jdk 1.4.2. I av tried several times to get it from the net but to avail. My mail boxes r lordbenax@yahoo.com and knightbenax@hotmail.com.
Please smeone should please help me with this. Thanks

Benax, you are a king!

Yes. You can make Nigeria better.
I am happy that you know this!

I want you to know something.

If you cannot -- by your very own self download (or FIND one first) a compiler for a language that you intend to learn and master, then you're gonna have it hot higher up the ladder.

Learn to do things by yourself.

Heuristic thinkers like me think that you should always endeavour to discover things by your self.

Oscar O'Flarhertie Willis Wilde: "Education is an admirable thing,
But it is well to remember from time to time
that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

Take your cue from there, Chum.

And never ever let anyone make you ashamed of your humble beginnings.

The Free Software Foundation are a Godsend.

I haven't checked; but I can assure you that somewhere out there is your Java compiler calling out to you.

HEY MEN FELLOW NIGERIANS. I think you can change nigeria even by not getting the compiler yourself maybe tru another means, politics or business. My friend if you are serious about what you want to do, then you must learn to do stuff yourself most especially from the base. remember "knowledge is like a pyramid, to build you need a solid foundation.

Thanks STANOZ, that was really helpful iguess i just av to brace up, go out there and download it. No matter the stress and the struggles, cos i am in luv wit what i do. Thanks a lot.

That's the spirit, Benax!
Aluta Continua!

(Say, er, what is it that you want to 'create' anyway, friend?)

Hey Yo!
