[size=17pt]Loool well you got to the fun part of programming and got scared. OOP can be difficult if you make it look that way. You can look at objects as a people and the methods each holds as its super powers. You can look at constructors as a way to enlist someone for a task. So say you have a job to do, then you pick someone(call a constructor) suitable for the task.

Would have loved to explain further but if you really are a beginner then why are you already in the OOP aspect?[/size]

[quote author=omo_to_dun link=topic=722271.msg8817211#msg8817211 date=1311972429]Before forums existed, folks have been programming. Every programming methodology, language, techniques, or technologies that I know today, I learned from reading and practicing. When I was in Nigeria, I had no access to the Internet and no one around my vicinity was conversant with programming. I taught myself C/C++/Java/C#/Python with great PAIN, effort, sleepless nights, insane hours of frustrations, hunger strikes, motivation, stubbornness, and passion. The word 'taught' in this context is grossly inappropriate since I still consider it as an ongoing process. I do agree that forums have their place, so does school, especially if you are interested in research, but from analyzing the numerous posts on this section, one can easily see that lots of programmers are lazy! Why put in the time when some GURU in a forum can help them out. You can never become a guru by completely relying on forums. Go to stackoverflow and look at the ratio of answers to questions of the top participants. Most of them have less than five questions, but they have hundreds of answers. That tells you something. A programmer needs to learn to sweat it out.[/quote][size=17pt]Tanks for that man

Also if you are a beginner in Java and by beginner i mean you have no knowledge. DO NOT. . . I repeat DO NOT touch "Head first java". Its a bloody waste of time. THe only time you should take up that book is when you have started understanding the concept of OOP. That book is completely OOP which is no good for a real beginner. I read that book only for fun. When am underground or in a bus, just take out ma ipad and read stuffs. Be warned!

[size=16pt]Well, well look who we have here. Ok you know how to program in java now innit? Good but hey mind what you say. Anyways ain't gat time to argue with ya so all am gonna say is, don't say am wrong just say you have another idea. No disrespect but I know only a few here that can say am wrong. Not that am always right but when it comes to a forum like this, I think am 80% always right.

I have seen a lot of people like you(the "i tried to make a loop run twice and because it was futile i went on to ask on a forum" kinda people). Listen it totally unreasonable. A programmer that isin't strong analytically? He/She is Crap. If you cant discipline yourself enough to solve your problem without looking at someone's code or something, then you really shouldn't call yourself a programmer in public.

Am just gonna end with what i said to you a while back. Its one thing to write code and its another to program. Its also one thing to program and another to program effectively

BinaryMonk:
@Fayimora
Still yet please there's no where in this world where they teach you to be good if you want to be good irrespective of where you find yourself you would be good. I wonder why you would say that about Nigerian universities; even if they don't provide for we the students what keeps us from striving to go out and get what we want!!! India has done it we too can; A determined mind is something not to be messed with. I am proud to tell you that i go to a school whose computer science department is not recognized in Nigeria but i've got friends building projects M.Sc & a couple P.hD (Designs) for students in the U.K, U.S and the rest and these people my friend are undergraduate in Nigerian universities; some not even computer scientists. so if you're going to be a good developer my friend don't let some factor stop you. Thank God for the Internet google anything and i bet you it should stare right at your face.
I have seen a good number of Microsoft's top developer's who read geology; physics; drama and the likes so programming is not just for computer science it's for anyone who wants to talk to his computer and have his computer act on it.

[size=16pt]Errrm why is this directed towards moi? Sounds like you are trying to advice me. I mean like your talking to someone who is frustrated shocked

Computers › Re: How Relevant Is Linux by Fayimora(m): 11:00pm On Jul 27, 2011

Lmao, hmmm Easy does it! Windows more user-friendly? Hmmm anyways depends on whoever is using it. I have a windows system as well as a mac and linux but trust me, I wud rather not use a system than use the damn annoying windows. Windows is only gonna be good when they learn to think! and not modify what already in stock. I doubt if @lojik is biased.

As a developer, I dont think you should be running away from Linux. It has 1000X things to offer than `windows`. Forget about server side. You cant tell me that everything you do is server side. How about speed cheesy

Windows 8, windows 8!!! OK wats in windows 8? The iphone interface?? lmaooo

HAhahhahahhaha! Easy come out with the specs and its best if you invite your sis to participate as she is the one who has the project, Dnt worry no strings attached. If it was a Java project, i have a small payroll system that can easily be built on. Its more like a template for a bigger one. sad

Programming › Re: Java Programming - To Learn by Fayimora(m): 8:36pm On Jul 27, 2011

[size=15pt]For a beginner, go read the following books in the order in which they are listed,

1 ==> Java in easy steps (You learn the very basics of java, procedural programming.)
2 ==> Starting out with java(You learn the basics of java again but with more complicated examples and exercises. You also learn basics of OOP and GUI)
3 ==> BIG Java(You revise the basics again but this time fully OOP, no more procedural programming. You also tackle big OOP related problems. Then you move into more advanced concepts(Algorithms and data structures))

When you are done with these 3 books and fully understand everything, then your almost an intermediate java programmer. The next thing is to try and develop softwares(for pleasure but with time frames). That would determine if you fully understood what you have been reading or not. Make sure you practice a LOT as thats they key. The more loops you write the faster you get at writing them.

At first syntax might pose a problem and you would spend time trying to learn the syntax. I would advise you try not to do that, you should be learning how to program and not Java. The syntax flows with you on its own. Don't spend more than 1hr a day learning syntax. Also its either you understand it or not, theres no cramming in programming cheesy

Its best to understand it so that when you get a similar but much difficult problem, you can apply your previous knowledge.

When you solve problems, you would get tempted to just come asking immediately, dnt. Solve it!. Lol yes I know you are outta ideas but the truth is that you have the answer within. You should only ask when you are tired of trying(crying point).

Goodluck!!!
