I've been programming in Java for about 2 1/2 years now, starting with the ASTD web site in early 1998. It's mostly been J2EE stuff - Servlets, JSPs, and lots of Plain Old Classes, but I've also done a little hackery on the PalmOS with the KJavaVM. I can't remember where I was reading this, but someone was bashing Java because it was too hard to write Hello World. Now, that's a dumb way to judge a language, but still... public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!\n"); }}
It's just not that hard.
I have written a lot of Java code now; that's pretty much what I've been up to for the past 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately it's copyrighted and confidential so I can't share it with you. I wrote a SQL Tool as a Java servlet, which I am slightly proud of. It's a good example for anyone trying to learn Servlets and/or JDBC.
Here is a fix for the capitalization bug in IBM WebSphere Application Server 2.02 for NT. (I didn't write it.) I explored Java 2 Reference Objects to figure out how they work - they're pretty interesting and seem useful (especially java.lang.ref.SoftReference). |
