I dont think I understand what you mean by competence skills, but as far as the question is concerned, I can basically write a servlet to read form data from a single webpage. What i'm trying to do is write a single servlet to read form data from multiple web pages one after the other.

Does anyone have an easy to understand tutorial on session tracking in servlets. All the materials i've come across have been quite difficult to understand.

Whether it is a bad or good job, if you've stayed at home for a long period of time after graduation and you happen to get a marketing job. Will you not take the job? abeg na situation go determine o. If you have the opportunity to get a marketing job, you can take it for a while, you never know, maybe doing that job will allow you save some money to start a small scale business later on.

I wonder why people are still writing CCNA in this age. Not to be sarcastic or anything, I think having a CCNA in Nigeria further reduces your chances of getting a job.

In my humble opinion, don't write any Networking certification exam in Naija unless you have like 2 years experience. On a more serious note, maybe you can write a CCNA if you are really interested in Networking but I won't advise you to keep writing more certifications after that because you would only be wasting your money if you dont have the experience. Whats the point having a CCNP if you've never designed and practically implemented a simple LAN. It's time for us to stop making our annual contribution to Cisco's profits.

Its advisable to save classes in different files but all classes should be in the same package. the main() class in particular should be saved in a separate file. (this is just good programming practice anyway, if you save them all in one file, the program will still run)

What is the problem you have with the ticket sales point. Try to be more specific. I'm not sure anyone is going to be willing to write the entire program for you. Try and point out what you are having difficulties with, then maybe someone might be able to help.

ive noticed most of the people replying with such comments are newbies and dont know the story/history of top's lats relationship. Those who of us who know the history know that this isnt about "ex sex"

Nope its not, its about "sexy ex"

From my experience, A BS in CS, an MS in CS and all the Cisco and Java certifications in this world won't guarantee you a position in IT especially in Nigeria. If you are lucky or well connected even without a certificate, you can find something, but I challenge anyone that will stand and tell me that a certificate will get you an IT job in naija.

I agree with Outstrip. Topup is excited about this meeting. Her head tells her she shouldn't be, but she just can't help it. I think she still has feelings for the guy but she's wise enough to handle the situation in a mature way. Topup I am convinced that you can handle the situation if you decide to meet up with Mr ex.

Inheritance is the relationship between two classes that allows an object of one class called the sub class to use the methods already defined in another class called the super class. The syntax is

Class Subclass extends Superclass
For example

Class Vehicle{

accelerate();
reverse ();
changeGear();

}

Class SUV extends Vehicle{

// no need to specify the accelerate(). reverse(); and changeGear() methods. (except during method overriding)

}

Class Vehicle is the superclass while class SUV is the subclass. Class SUV inherits the methods of class Vehicle, therefore if you create an object of Class SUV and make it inherit from class Vehicle, you can call the methods of the superclass Vehicle without having to define them in the SUV object.
The primary purpose of inheritance is code reuse. i.e you don't have to keep defining methods for each object you create.

Abstraction - from the word abstract - meaning overview - As an analogy, when you read a technical document. There's always an abstract which gives a general overview of what the document is about.

In Object Oriented programming, Abstraction gives the specification of an Interface. i.e it gives the Name of the interface and the names of all the methods in the interface but not the details. Any class that plans to implement that interface must use the specified methods. You make use of the specified methods but you supply the details in each method yourself.

Encapsulation on the other hand refers to the fact that the when a user uses an object of a class, he has no ability to change the inner operations of the class methods and variables. That is the internal operations of the class is shielded protected or encapsulated.

webdezzi:

especially when Domain name server has been confused with a web server


ask me, yours is more confusing.

I totally agree with you. I think a domain name server as the name implies resolves domain names to ip addresses. Not the function of a webserver

I dont also agree that a webserver is a computer on the internet. A webserver is a program not a computer.

I agree with most of the other explanations people have given though. The only things is I still dont understand what business logic means. Could someone shed more light on this and if possible with examples.

Very insightful responses. Thanks guys.

I'm currently using Apache Tomcat as my webserver. Any suggestions on what application server would work best with Tomcat? I'm thinking JBoss

I would really like to know the difference between these two. Are they the same? are they different? can one perform the function of the other? Are both needed in building Distributed applications? Nairaland gurus, your opinions will be highly valued.

Mobil and Total hires Nigerian engineers from the UK and US, just like Total and Chevron do. Part of their Graduate Trainee program.
They hire them on basically the same levels that Nigerian staff are hired, and around the same wage mostly. For Mobil that would be CL 21-23, depending on qualifications and experience.
They now put these guys on the same training and exposure regimen as the Nigerian guys. So where is the value add, bros?
My argument has been that the guys from abroad are not particularly better than the local guys. In fact many are even worse. So I would not hire someone out of the UK or US based purely on their CV. They have to prove that they can bring something to the table.

Sounds like you have some hidden hatred for people returning home from abroad. Did someone steal your job or you were skipped for promotion. I think there are some underlying issues to your comments which makes your arguments biased. Or could it be that you were denied a visa. You and I know you can't ever compare the level of exposure you get abroad to what you get in Nigeria. Both in the classroom and on the job. I have worked both in Nigeria and US, schooled both in Nigeria and US and I can tell you that there are numerous traits that can help move an organization forward that you never get to learn in the Nigerian environment.

Afam:

Can you develop an application from scratch and deliver in just 2 days if there is a serious need to do so under minimal supervision if you have 100% down payment?

I guess the answer to this would be yes and no. Depending on the size of the application.

How would you implement a queue using 2 stacks? Algorithm question for an entry level developer position.

Go and be calling from a pay phone until your sim gets straightened. then u can try to insert it in your gsm.

Just wanted to point out that the correct word is POLYGAMY and not POLYGAMISM

I'm interested in Spring and Hibernate too. Just started on JSPs and I've heard Spring and Hibernate are the way to go now in Enterprise Java dev

reply urgently

omonua85:

It's no more enough to graduate 4rm Uni. 2 get employed. U hav to belong to one form of association to b taken seriously. But how wld u know what body to join when u are not in d system yet. It is this confusion that makes people take so many different certifications. I hav a friend who has ORACLE, JAVA, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, CISA, ICAN, MCA. Many of his certifications are irrelevant in his current job in an insurance company. I am currently serving (NYSC) and just need a job 4 just 2 yrs  to raise money and build contacts, so 4rm there start my biz. Nt intrested in irrelevant certifications. But with this implementation and global financial meltdown, it seems i hav to belong 2 a body 2 b considered 4 employment. When will rat race end. After this u cld nt b promoted because u no do Msc. or Mba. Abeg, Enterprenureship can be a better substitute to success. It is well.

The story of my life

tope5000:

Lol . . . .just out of pure hatred

Hmmmmm. Can u be a bit more specific or would you get banned again if you say it.

posakosa:

So what if she says sorry? Maybe she thinks that you won't accept her apologies so she wants time to even things out!

Hmmm. U have a point. but with me, the longer the apology takes, the more angry I get.

@tope5000

just out of curiosity. How did u get urself banned? It would guide those of us who are yet to fall into that situation. Thanks

kay_pumpin:

Just trying to get things in perspective.

Of course saying 'sorry' when it is intended is better than saying "sorry" and repeating the same action all over.

So I take it , its right if the person doesn't say sorry and repeats the same action over again.

davidylan:

A girl shld/MUST learn the power of saying sorry. Its vital

Thank you David. I dont know what the folks here are talking about.

kay_pumpin:

Would you rather have it when she meant it OR you just want it anyhow?

So, its okay if someone does something wrong and doesnt say sorry as long as she doesn't mean to. is that what you are trying to say?

Why do some girls have a problem saying sorry if they're wrong. Even if i'm right, i still say sorry sometimes. Girls!!!!!!! never fail to amaze me.
