LOL, we had this same argument some time past on this forum. And after that i personally went on the search for the "perfect" IDE.

Before i could finish, i found out through newsletters (of various IDE companies) i subscribed to, that each of them where making or patching all the loop holes they had with reference to the advantages of competitors.

For example Netbeans users would attest to Netbeans 6.0 saga and how Netbeans now have swiftly responded with speed with Netbeans 6.1

This suggests to the developer that he should be consistent with what he can find that is suitable to his wing / style of  software development, seriously has to avoid gambling with various IDE's.

i guess every developer should be concerned and focus on "Agile Development"
which states:

-- Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools.

-- Working software over comprehensive documentation.

--Customer Collaboration over contract negotiation.

-- Respond to change over following plan.

Sun has sent shockwaves through the open-source software community by acquiring open-source database company MySQL AB. The MySQL database is regarded as one of the core components of open source server infrastructure, the so-called Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) stack. This acquisition will put Sun against proprietary database vendors like Oracle and also open-source middleware vendors like Red Hat. More significantly, this appears to be part of a larger strategy by Sun to position its own technologies as an alternative to the conventional LAMP stack.

MySQL fits neatly with Sun's other major software offerings, the Solaris operating system and the Java programming language. Sun has been opening up the source code of both Java and Solaris in recent years in an effort to make them more relevant in a market that increasingly demands open technologies. Sun has been working hard to position OpenSolaris as a better than Linux and has also labored to make Java more open and more flexible in order to prevent dynamic scripting languages like Perl, PHP, Python, and Ruby from eroding Java's strength on the server. Sun's aim is to provide a cohesive enterprise server solution that the company likely hopes will displace LAMP: OpenSolaris, Apache, MySQL, and Java.

In a blog entry where MySQL published its official announcement of the acquisition, the company expressed strong affinity for the Solaris operating system. "Solaris has a special position in the heart of MySQL, as it was the first platform under which MySQL was developed. Linux came second. Internally, code coverage tests were long performed just on Sun. And with the DTrace probes planned as part of 6.0, some types of optimisation of MySQL applications are the easiest on Solaris," MySQL community vice president Kaj Arno wrote. "I would expect that having access to the topmost Solaris and Java experts within the same company will accelerate our development for the benefit of MySQL users on the Solaris platform, and in the Java environment, respectively."

Although MySQL will be working closely with Sun, Arno also emphasizes the fact that the LAMP stack is here to stay. "I don't expect [closer ties with Java and Solaris] in any way to be at the cost of other popular operating systems,  or development environments," says Arno. "MySQL grew with LAMP and MySQL without LAMP at its core is simply unimaginable." Despite Arno's confidence that the acquisition will not impact MySQL's role in the conventional LAMP stack, MySQL users who are wary of Sun could potentially meander towards vendor-neutral alternatives like PostgreSQL.

Although Sun's acquisition of MySQL creates some concerns about the future of the open source database, there are also many ways in which this acquisition could bolster the strength of MySQL on all platforms. "So while the news may be especially good for MySQL users on Solaris and/or Java, the news is definitely good irrespective of environment," Arno says. "As part of Sun, the MySQL database will have immediate access to technical, marketing, OSS developer relations and sales resources that would have taken us years to build as an independent company."

Regardless of the underlying platform implications, Sun's acquisition of MySQL broadly validates open-source database solutions as viable alternatives to proprietary commercial database products like those from Oracle and IBM. In the long-term, this could be a very positive development for open source on the server.

What is Yours 

SAP (System Application Products) is the name of the biggest European software company. The head office is in Walldorf, Germany. SAP was founded

in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany.

It is one of the very very  lucrative fields in IT with outstanding good pay.

Their Training and Certifications are quite expensive and presently Africa has south africa as the country for SAP training.

Nigeria has an office in Oakland Center Maitama Abuja, but they offer training sparingly san and they major in administrative functions.

SAP Actual and e-business comprising of financials CRM, ERP, xchange infrastructure and lots more.

It also has it own programming Language called ABAP.

the exciting thing about SAP is that its framework can easily integrate into databases like Oracle,Microsoft SQL server ,db2 and a lot more.

Well it also has a very strong JAVA PRESENT in most (like over 60%) of its application giving any one with JAVA knowledge an edge.

Our Next President ! Who will it be ? The Choice is Yours. Vote Now!!!

Hey all You Wanna become Sun Certified!!!!!!!!!

Aspire to Acquire

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!   

Hello cyberomin,

Nairaland has already threads similar to this Topic Championed by sbucareer,mimoh_mi and the likes.

Java you will surely get a head start from these threads i assure you.

All The Best.

Click Here

And Here

Before you write a certification i mean any,

you have to look @ the present and weigh the future

("what i call looking @ tomorrow,building it today")

you alone know ur objectives,aspirations and endpoint.

this i think should guide in taking the decision.

All the best.

M

mimoh_mi:
If you sat for the SCBCD 5.0 beta exam in december, please do check
your status report  at i7 or/and prometric. Saw mine, it was
cool. Will want to express my gratitude to all the Nairalanders
who one way or the other encouraged me. Subcareer, christino,
skima,adewale, lexis and co, thanks for been there thanks.

Men mimoh_mi you really tried and i am very encouraged by your efforts.

i must commend your spirit in the field of JAVA and linux (very rapid).

Congrats and keep it up.

Well u could try by  Clicking Here

I suggest you try using phpmyadmin or MYSQL ADMIN

but in the mean while:
Create User with :
GRANT USAGE ON * . * TO 'user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 ;

Grant privileges with :

GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , DROP , FILE , INDEX , ALTER , CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON * . * TO 'user'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED BY '********'
WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0

Well i think this will help you http://formtoemail.com/

Serialization means to force one-at-a-time access for the purposes of concurrency control, or to encode a data structure

as a sequence of bytes. In the Java world, serialization is the storing of an object's current state on any permanent

storage media for later reuse. This is done using when you use the seriazlizable interface or when using the

ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes.


In object-oriented programming there are two related notions of delegation.

Most commonly, it refers to a programming language feature making use of the method lookup rules for dispatching so-

called self-calls as defined by Lieberman in his 1986 paper "Using Prototypical Objects to Implement Shared Behavior in

Object-Oriented Systems".

In its original usage, delegation refers to one object relying upon another to provide a specified set of functionalities. In

research, this is often referred to as consultation or as aggregation in modeling.

Interestingly, despite delegation being fairly widespread, no major programming languages implement delegation as an

alternative model to static inheritance. The Self programming language incorporates the notion of delegation through its

notion of mutable parent slots which are used upon method lookup on self calls.

The Nigerian market or business owners r really unaware of the advantage of owning scalable Application written in JAVA that

will aid TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in the long run and also CAN'T AFFORD TO MAINTAIN THE HARDWARE COST.

That is why only big private and government funded institutions like the CBN is currently enjoying the Java EE Cheque

Exchange and ERP,etc Applications developed for them by their Consultants.

Scripting is a form of computer program. But unlike traditional programming language, that manipulate the processes of the computer, scripting tends to involve a far smaller set of simple instructions. Many of these instructions will be related to accomplishing a specific purpose, such as controlling the process of connecting your computer to another computer via a modem.
Example php, asp, ruby and jsp etc,

As mentioned above most languages may require some foundation in a root language or snytax familiarity like jsp will require strong java knowledge which is in turn a development language.

So also for asp VB.net and C# colabo in the .NET environment.

i think u should them as being the same thing but meeting different need.

parosky:
Imagine you work in a canteen in the stew making unit, you have your recipe(CLASS) for making stew. Your colleague who is in pounded yam making unit also have recipe for pounded yam. Same goes for every other unit. Once all the units have done their jobs very well, all the waiters need to do is get their trays, go to pounded yam unit , get 2 wraps (OBJECT) of pouded yam for a customer, go to stew making unit for a bowl of soup, meat making unit for 3 pieces of meat. The waiters don't need to know the various steps taken in pounded yam unit to get things done. That is, the complexities of how they (pounded yam unit) get things done is hidden from you guys in stew, soup, amala, eba making unit. This is ABSTRACTION.

In pounded yam unit , they get raw yam, peel it cook it, pound it,and so on but it is not your concern. They add water if they think it is not soft enough for good eating but you don't need to know that. By the time the finish their job, you won't have the opportunity to peel yam, cook it, pound it (controlled by FIELDS, PRIVATE, MEMBER VARIABLES). But you can open the wrap, take a bolus, mold it, check the softness, put it in stew, swallow it. In short you are able to interact with pounded yam (through it's PUBLIC MEMBERS - PROPERTIES and METHODS that was exposed , in this case the pounded yam itself) without knowing how  it's prepared (or it's IMPLEMENTATION) but not with it's fundamental preparation process because it has been ENCPSULATED. 

Does Abstraction and encapsulated look like the same to you? Well they really are not but close enough.

Men parosky u have illustrated Abstraction and Encapsulation in a very good way.

i am very amazed by such extent of reasoning.

thumbs up.
keep it up.

Okmich i think Taysay is right try first logic they r quite ok.

you must have left netbeans for a long time. netbeans has plug in for c++ (because i also use c++), full J2EE support and nuerous others e.g. mobile, enterprise etc. even sun recomends netbeans for starters in java. above all, it is so easy to use, far nore easier than eclipse

well wale u left out php python and many others

"IDES" they are all propelling towards the same goal easy and faster App Dev.

Basically if i wanted to develop an "IDE" the currently existing ones would be the challenge to beat .

i believe this what we is the main focal point.

eclipse or netbeans my own is more functionality its point and that is (OPEN SOURCE "ECLIPSE".

Well i have been using both netbeans and eclipse for like a year now and i finally dropped netbeans.

netbeans is good no doubt

but eclipse is better!!!!!!!

Why

Eclipse plugin Tech backgound is unbeatable and aids system life span and performance.

Eclipse has c++, php, j2ee uml and many others i think u need to delve in more into eclipse.

Thanks seun what do u mean by more stable

well i think u should check this site i use it a lot it is really good

yahoo group for SCJA and SCJP

Well Google has the final say,

i am faced with this decision of which is a better application server 2 run the php engine with on windows platform.


personal experience i have use Apache on windows but i got full satisfaction on my local windows machine performance but


currently i succeeded in configuring IIS to run with windows for my APP DEV with php.


i must say that my local machines perfomance has increased by 30% for the previous APACHE config.
