I,ve just started an Open University course concerning Java and progamming as to try and educate this old brain of mine and give myself a wider range of skills than just the gardening (Mind you I,ve seen all the work I need to do with assignments and all , it will be intense).
Any of you guys and galls familar with Java?

I've always been curious about how java works however my interest never inspired me to investigate. :-( Oh its a bit tricky learning about all the commands , when to use them , compile and run programs and hope there is no mistakes. Understanding all the jargon and trying to take it all in is the most difficult bit I have to read through the booklets and then do the activities which has become very time consuming.  |

Yeah, I haven't a clue how it works. I can get by in html and that's about it. Keep meaning to teach myself flash, but never get around to it. --A |

Good luck with your studies, cleburne! I applaud you for taking the initiative to learn a new skill.
I know nothing about the innards of Java, I'm just a user. Computer programming just isn't my thing. At one time, I thought it was, but I've since found that I'm much more interested in hardware than software. But having computer programming skills on your resume would be a desirable thing, that's for sure!

Thanks Ram at the start it looked like a great idea but now not so much as its quiet hard to understand when you are just learning it from a book and not from a person plus I missed my first tutorial which hasnt helped because I went to that stag do, but I,m slowly getting throught the exercises, one of them is to create the game Hangman LOL!! |
