[font=trebuchet ms]Hey guys,
Though I have successfully, thoroughly learned programming languages in the past without a book, I feel that Java will be different and it would be a good idea to learn from a well-written book than from a variety of Web sites. I believe, as a beginner, a book on Java would be essential. I know there are a lot of excellent Java programmers here – namely Buntine, Peo, and Khalid – so I was wondering what books you guys (and anyone else, of course) would recommend.
Thanks. ? [/font]
[i]Originally posted by Jona [/i]I am not an excelent java programmer lol. I have an ap cert, but its ap java, it is not gui stuff and it is does not have a lot of real world stuff. For some reason ap is aimed more ad methodology even though you were supposed to some programming classes under your belt to take it in the first place... go figure. Ap taught me how to print out ascii art with a butt load of recursive statements, I am definatly going to use for the rest of my life :rolleyes:

[i]Originally posted by Jona [/i]ap java, advanced placement java. Its a class I took, and you take the ap exam at the end of the year, if you score well its a college credit. Its one of those college board things.
[B][font=trebuchet ms]Hmm, that's kind of consfusing... What's AP Java? I looked at a Notepad Java file (.java) in JCreator, but I couldn't figure out how to edit any code in it.[/font] [/B][/QUOTE]

I live just up the road from a college where I could take a course on Java, but I'm not sure if I want to. I looked at their HTML classes, and they teach "How to design with tables" and stuff, so I kind of don't trust them.[/quote]A college class, or almost any class for that matter is [i]_never_[/i] guarenteed to be any good. You see schools are obsessed with the idea that PhD people are the most qualified. Where I'm at there is a class called E-Commerce Technology. And the teacher's Web site (aparently she has a PhD for this stuff) is built in Microsoft Word. :rolleyes:

[B]Hahahah, if you find an extensive tutorial website, please post it because with my uni, I had to buy this book on Java Software Solutions :mad:--It was approximately $150 CAD. :mad: [/B][/QUOTE]

And it probably doesn't even much matter what school you go to, since a school's prestige is generally measured by how many PhDs they have on staff.

[i]Originally posted by PeOfEo [/i]More like ASP.NET.
[B]I have a question too, does jsp act like asp classic in that you are requesting html form data, or is it like when you write an applet or gui where you request the elements and then the elements run server side like in asp.net? [/B][/QUOTE]

[b] for PeOfEo[/b]
JSP pages are run on server side and they return a response object for browser to display in the page.
What happens is that a java servlet/jsp engine converts a jsp page to a servlet and then returns the response.You will see that when you first time run a jsp page it requires compiling and takes some time to get compiled(though not significant but still)
Once a jsp page is compiled it then is lightening fast.... [/B][/QUOTE]
[i]Originally posted by ray326 [/i]Well asp.net is compiled on ap start as well. I need to hunt around for some articles. It would be interesting learn about their similarities.
[B]More like ASP.NET. [/B][/QUOTE]
So do the elements actually get picked up by the server and run "server side" or what is the deal? I am a little confused now.[/QUOTE]It's a confusing deal so you're spot on. 8) The fact is that both the Web Forms of .NET and their analog in Java Server Faces (Struts evolved) are both MORE than just the HTML and the server side code. They both rely on a rigid naming protocol to bind the plain HTML the browser sees with the OO process behind that and some supporting smoke and mirrors provided by bits of their respective frameworks. These development protocols can be handled manually by the programmer but they're best left to some supporting IDE like Studio.NET or WebSphere Studio.
Do you have to import the elements at the top of a jsp page, or does jsp look at the html portion of your code and cache some information like element ids or what?[/QUOTE]The JSP page is just a class so you have to import the classes that define the objects available to the page just like you have to import classes that will be referenced by any plain old Java class you write.
