JAVA Java is an object oriented programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since merged into Oracle Corporation). The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++, but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. Java can be used to create Desktop Applications, Web Applications, Console Applications and Mobile Applications. WHERE CAN I LEARN JAVA?? As with any language i will talk about here, they are tons and tons of books and articles on the Internet that will teach you any of this languages from beginner to intermediate level. The rest is upto you... I will provide as much links to on-line tutorials as possible, but Google is your friend. Official Tutorial from Oracle: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/ More http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/index.htm http://www.javatutorialhub.com/java-tutorial.html http://www.freejavaguide.com/corejava.htm http://www.javabeginner.com/ Ebooks http://www.mkyong.com/featured/top-5-free-java-ebooks/ From Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL484D73FA74A11AC9 |
Hence forth any i want to learn programming threads will be closed with immediate effect. Ask all your questions here ... |
They are a lot of them, but these are the ones that i could think of at the time of writing.. ![]() PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES 1. Java 2. C 3. C++ 4. c# 5. Objective C 6. PHP 7. Assembly Language 8. Javascript 9. Visual Basic 10. VB.NET 11. ASP 12. ASP.NET 13. PYTHON 14. Ruby OTHERS a. HTML b. CSS I will only talk about the ones on BOLD ![]() |
CONSOLE APPLICATIONS A console application is a computer program designed to be used via a text-only computer interface, such as a text terminal, the command line interface of some operating systems (Unix, DOS, etc.) or the text-based interface included with most Graphical User Interface (GUI) operating systems, such as the Win32 console in Microsoft Windows, the Terminal in Mac OS X, and xterm in Unix. Console Applications can be created with C, C++, JAVA etc |
MOBILE APPLICATIONS A mobile application (or mobile app) is a software application designed to run on smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices. example of mobile applications are opera mini, UCBrowser, Games etc. Mobile Applications run on different platforms such as iPhone, BlackBerry, Android phone or Windows Phone etc. Mobile Applications can be created with Java, Objective-c, c++, C# and so on... |
WEB APPLICATION A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. examples of web applications are Facebook, yahoomail, gmail, Nairaland etc. Web applications are also created with a range of programming languages like PHP, Python, JSP/Servlets, ASP, ASP.NET, Ruby etc |
DESKTOP/STAND-ALONE APPLICATION An application that runs stand alone in a desktop or laptop computer. such as Opera Browser, Microsoft Office, Corel Draw, Win zip and so on. I am sure you get it. Desktop Applications can run on Windows, Linux, Mac and other Operating Systems. I assume you know what an operating system is ![]() Desktop applications can be created with a variety of programming languages ranging from C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET etc etc etc. They are a lot of them, like i said earlier we will talk of programming languages later on.. |
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS An embedded system is a multi-agent system and computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system, often with real-time computing constraints.It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-user needs. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today examples of devices with embedded systems are telephone switches, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mp3 players, mobile phones, videogame consoles, digital cameras, DVD players, GPS, brushless DC motors, induction motors and DC motors.Embedded systems contain processing cores that are either microcontrollers or digital signal processors (DSP). I don't know too much about embedded systems but i know embedded systems are created mainly with C and Assembly Language. I will come to programming languages later. Read more from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_system |
I will try as much as possible to make this article as simple as possible BRANCHES OF PROGRAMMING 1. Embedded Systems 2. Desktop applications 3. Web Applications 4. Mobile Applications 5. Console applications |
Due to the numerous "i want to start programming, which language should i start with" threads on this board i decided to create a thread that will address this issue. I am not a wonderful writer and i won't say i know it all but i will try. I urge every one on this board to correct me where i err an also contribute in whatever way you can to make this thread worth it. I will try as much as possible not to be biased in this write up. I am not going to go into detail in defining what programming is because i will assume before entering this thread you should already know what programming is. But in summary programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and computer programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and a computer. You can read more from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming Programmers could also be called software programmers, software developers and other big-big names you can think of. Feel free to ask your questions, i will try and answer the ones i can my Ogas in the house will help me with those i can't answer Please every Programmer should try as much as possible to check on this thread once in a while to help answer some questions Newbies would like to ask. |
Fayimora: Slightly off topic question.. Why do Nigerians, well not all but most, care so much about certifications?Because they are in Nigeria where 9 out of 10 times if you don't have a certification your skill has a void return type . Except you want to be a free lancer or create the Next Big Thing with your skill... |
#Yeaaaaahhhh i got the job, Thanks to all those who found me worthy of this post. I will try and do my best. #GodSpeed |
^^^ i also thought of that, but i am not to familiar with it, so i found a way round ![]() |
wanted to ask if you had an executable for windows, but i found it.. |
Why don't you just stick to the Scanner class to avoid complicating issues... |
But thats what i gave you now, all you need to do is read the text file to String, that isn't difficult now, or is that what you need? |
^^^ There are a lot of ways you can work around that code, but if you are to follow my implementation, you have to read the text file into a String... |
First of all, Next time please don't direct the problem to me, i have a life outside Nairaland you know and i may not always be available to help.Next time you want to read from a text file use the classes in the java.io package and not the scanner class. I wasn't able to re write the entire code beacause i didn't see all your classes, but we can still work out something. if i am right this is where you have problem with your code. Now i wrote a new class that handles this problem so it would be easy to re use my code in yours

fallguy: Any joe learng java has to accomodate an ide, java is so so obese.Wrong, i learnt Java without and IDE. This issue has been debated on this forum a lot of times, The Job of an IDE is to get the Job done easier, faster and in a more efficient way. |

Thanks to all those who found me worthy of this award and voted me, and also to those who didn't . I really really appreciate it. Regards |

After downloading Flex SDK and documentation last week, I came to know about Adobe FlexBuilder, a commercial tool available from Adobe website to develop flex applications. I was really disappointed when i was not able to find even a single free alternativeto FlexBuilder. FlexBuilder is basically based upon eclipse and as soon as I came to know about it, I start wondering if something similar is available for NetBeans as well. And here it is. After some googling around, I found a plugin for NetBeans which would allow me to develop Flex Applications for free. Its pretty easy to install and configure. The only downsidebeing that it won’t give you code auto-complete feature. But anyways, as a beginner its good for me to write my own code instead of making bad habit of code to auto-complete. Below is a quick walkthrough of how I was able toinstall flex plugin into my NetBeans IDE in just 10 easy steps. 1. To download the FlexBean plugin, [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexbean/files/FlexBean/1.1.1%20%28Win%2C%20Linux%2C%20Mac%29/org-netbeans-module-flexbean-1.1.1.nbm/download?use_mirror=nchc&use_mirror=nchc]click here[/url] . 2. Once downloaded, please start NetBeans IDE and click Tools >> Plugins 3. Now in “Plugins” dialog box select “Downloaded” Tab and click “Add Plugins…” button. 4. From “Add Plugins…” dialog please browse to the directory where you downloaded the flex bean plugin file and select it. Finally, click “Open” button to add the plugin to plugin list. 5. Now click “Install” button with FlexBean selected and you will be presented with a FlexBean installation wizard. 6. Click Next, accept the agreement, and finally click install to install the plugin in NetBeans. 7. Click finish and then close all the dialogs to return to NetBeans workbench. 8. To configure FlexBean plugin properly, it needs to know the location where the Flex SDK has been extracted. Click Tools >> Flex Platform. 9. From “Flex Platforms” dialog select"Add Platform…” Button and select the folder where you have extracted Flex SDK and click Next. 10. Finally, write a name of the platform in the next dialog and click Finish. http://arpitsblog..in/2009/09/free-alternative-to-flexbuilder-in-10.html?m=1 |
