Do you mean for volume of programming, or for actually serving clients?

The Java Tutorial and JavaDocs are essential resources for Java programmers (just thought I should mention that in case you were not aware of the excellent HTML based resources available).

I'm sure someone did a handy webpage that listed the numerous naming schemes Sun has used over Java's history, but I can't find it, can anyone point me at it again? lex might be overkill to begin with - an first > alternative might be to get hold of Tomcat to play with servlets/JSPs to > begin with....

For learning about java you can visit the tutorial on Sun Microsystem website. on this website you can find all the tutorial related to java with examples. > Had done Java 2 about 4 years back. need to brush up everything. If your oop's concept are clear till now than i think you will not going to have some trouble in learning java. java is very interesting language. > what softwares should i put in my computer in order to learn it at my > place and which books to refer. you can intall JDK 1.6 in your computer it . http://www.sun.com/download/ and for compiling core java programme you can use Textpad software. www.textpad.com for books you go through orielly publication website. there you willl going to find all the books related to java books. > pl guide .. > and for compiling core java programme you can use Textpad software. > > www.textpad.com While TextPad* can invoke javac, and has a preconfigured menu item for it, it is *not* a compiler, but expects that the javac command has been installed/ configured - through installing the JDK. * Note that I am referring to an old version, but I cannot see the author of TP complicating an editor that can edit HTML as easily as Java, by adding a java compiler.

It is completely configurable for all the usual stuff like auto-indent, line wrapping, etc, which are tied to the file extension. In addition its very fast, can handle huge numbers of files within an MDF master window and has the ability to pipe compiler output back into an editor window.

PFE has not been updated since 1999. I used it until 2001 or so. I liked it a lot. But it is not competive today. I am using JEdit today. Arne >>> and for compiling core java programme you can use Textpad software. >>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > I am using JEdit today. If JEdit matches or surpasses PFE then that's a good recommendation indeed. I haven't edited anything on a 'doze box for 2-3 years and my copy of Win95 is slowly dieing of bitrot. These days my main editor is microEmacs on Fedora or Microware's OS-9. Theres a decent Windows port of microEmacs too, though its probably not to everybody's taste.

Otherwise, I generally use EMEditor, because it has full programmable macros. But I keep TextPad as a backup, since it can edit hex data. When my ThinkPad was in the shop, and I had to use my wife's Mac for a while, I tried JEdit, but it seemed unnatural. vi (which I was familiar with from Irix) kept making trouble because of LF/CRLF issues. I really don't know what I'm going to do when (as I plan) I switch to a Mac, myself -- probably start huntine up Eclipse extensions. In many ways, I miss IBM's epm (for OS/2), especially the downloadable enhanced version that included the source code and compiler. (It was coded in a special language called E.) SignatureJohn W.

Its always good to know vi because it works with minimal display capabilities and doesn't require much from the keyboard - not even arrow keys are needed, which is handy if you're really stuck with a bad termcap or terminfo definition. I've yet to see a *nix that doesn't have a version installed. OS X probably uses the vim flavor of vi. Its the standard version on Linux these days. Its has various improvements over the original and is pretty good as far as vi clones go - certainly better IMO that stevie or elvis. To complete the picture, I rather like pvic. This is a minimal vi clone that's written in pure C. I've used it with OS-9 and DOS.

VIM (Vi IMproved) and GVIM (Graphical VIM) can recognize the newline sequence used by the file you're editing and adjust themselves automagically. > Otherwise, I generally use EMEditor, because it has full > programmable macros. FWIW Zeus is also fully scriptable: http://www.zeusedit.com In fact Zeus scripts can be written in Lua, Python, TCL, Java Script, VB Script or Ruby ;) Jussi Jumppanen Author: Zeus for Windows IDE > PFE doesn't do syntax coloring The Zeus for Windows IDE does Java syntax highlighting and code folding: http://www.zeusedit.com You can also configure it for Java intellisensing: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=731 or integrated in the Java SDK help: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10 Jussi Jumppanen Author: Zeus for Windows IDE On Feb 18, 4:22 pm, virach.v...@gmail.com wrote: > What packages one should learn to become a java programmer. I suggest you learn about the java collections framework (java.util.*). Whatever line of work you do, this is bound to be useful.
