The First to cover some java development basics

Tools Needed Part 1

1. Eclispe IDE
2. Netbeans IDE

wORking with jdk ( java development kit ) at the command is probably okay for small projects, However this practice is not recommend for large projects, which are hard to manage without the help of an integrated development Environment (IDE)

An IDE consists of a project manager for managing a project’s files, a text editor for entering and editing source code, a debugger for locating bugs, and other features. Two popular IDEs are NetBeans and Eclipse.

Its usually useful to track a leaders steps to see where they have excelled and where they have gone wrong. This thread would have been useful, if only it wasn't started for the same silly, dishonest reasons as that other one, which only a few sensible people posted on (mainly to chide you) and most avoided.

. . .But nobody enjoys wasting their time talking to hate filled walls that simply echo bitterness devoid off reason.
GEJ is resoundingly popular on the Nigerian street right now, cos he is hitting the right notes and working for the masses. He is set to be Nigeria's greatest by a very long shot! Lol!
At last - Head GEJ In Charge has finally arrived - I was wondering how long you will pretend " this thread " doesnt exist

Anyway welcome - We are all on the same page. What is best for Nigeria would be any Nigerian's delight. it is in my best interest GEJ does well. Remember na the masses go carry the mess.

what do mean by " Mainly to chide me " - A six page thread - u must be joking -

The ERA of holding leaders accountable is now . As Obama stated during his last speech to the middle east " BE PART OF REFORM OR GET OUT OF THE WAY "

BusinessPower Reforms: Jonathan Added Over 1,000mw To National Grid – Nerc by blacksta(op): 2:07pm On May 24, 2011
By Obas Esiedesa, Senior Reporter, Abuja

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has disclosed that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency added over 1,000 Mega Watts (MW) of electricity to the national grid in the last one year.
NERC Chairman, Dr. Sam Amadi, said this in a congratulatory letter to the president at the weekend.
Amadi attributed the level of stability in electricity supply in the country to what he called the Jonathan’s commitment and resolve to pursue the vision of safe, stable and adequate electricity supply in the country.
The NERC boss said: “when you became President in May 2010 we could only boast of less than 2,600 megawatts.
“Today, generation has gone to 3,800mw and has never gone below 3,500mw.”
The commission while commending this feat, expressed optimism that the president’s victory at the just concluded election was an indication of better prospects for electricity industry in the country.
“The overwhelming mandate given to you by Nigerian people is recognition of the sincerity and courage with which you have managed the reform in the power sector.

PoliticsFg Budgets N850m For Jonathan's Inauguration by blacksta(op): 2:03pm On May 24, 2011
ABUJA has budgeted N850 million for the inauguration of Goodluck Jonathan as President on May 29, expected to be witnessed by dignitaries from within and outside the country.
The figure emerged on Monday as United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, spoke kind words about Nigeria, buoyed by the free and fair election he said the country conducted last month, because, as he put it, such positive democratic example offers a bright hope for all Africa.
He urged world leaders to emulate Jonathan’s political leadership and his implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Ahmed Yayale, who chairs the Presidential Inauguration Committee, told a press conference in Abuja about the May 29 events Pwhen he inaugurated 14 other sub committees.
The sub committees include venues, utilities and souvenirs, football match, musical/cultural festival and fireworks, security, publicity, Presidential speeches, swearing-in, accommodation, protocol and airport reception, finance, lecture, inauguration banquet, juma’at prayers, church service, and children’s day.
Security has been tightened in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with police, military, and para-military personnel patrolling everywhere with marked and unmarked vehicles.

ProgrammingRe: Beginners - Learn Android Programming by blacksta(op): 2:51pm On May 23, 2011
As mentioned by Fayimore it is essential to understand java concepts before embarking on learning Android. I will try and keep information as limited as possible .  This onus remains on the beginner to do outside of this forum learning of Java.

What is Java. Java is a language and platform originated by sun microsystem.  Sun organised java into three main editions  Java SE, Java EE and Java ME.

jAVA is a language is which developers express source code and the java syntax rules is patterned after the C AND C++  hence if know C/C++  you are halfway there in becoming an android developer.

Some very good books on Java

1. Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel

2.  Head First Java is great for beginners.

3. Sams Teach Yourself Java 6 in 21 Days

In lay man term - Andriod is google's software stack for mobile device ( that includes an operating system and middleware) very similar to the Apples IOS for the iphone. Because these apps for android are based on java. it makes sense for us to learn about java before we dive into the world of Android development.
