Taking the Java Plunge – release 1.0 reached

Posted on 03-Nov-2005

Well I made it. It was early in the weekend that the code was working, but its taken a couple more days of struggle to get it so I could put it into production. Learning how to get tomcat to authorize the users is hell to debug when it doesn’t seem to do what the book says it should.

Looking back at what I have done surprises me. It was a simple application (just 5 web pages) but the number of separate technologies that I had to learn (or in some cases perfect) were many. Here is a list (on top of Debian Unstable/Stable)

Taking the JAVA plunge – some weeks later

Posted on 02-Sep-2005

It has been a while since my last entry, but here I am sitting in a hotel room in Instanbul, and discovered that it has a wireless lan capability.

I have started my first application having picked Tapestry 4.0 (currently at beta 5, but upgrading as soon as new versions come out) and iBATIS to connect to the database. I have been able to access my database and display pages with the data installed.

Taking the Java Plunge – Selecting and using an IDE

Posted on 07-Jul-2005

It has taken a my about 3 weeks of exploring to know what my next step in taking the Java Plunge should be.

Debian packages for both of them seem out of date, so I have downloaded both from their respective web sites.

Netbeans initially seemed extremely simple, as I immediately understood all the windows, what they did and how to create an application.
