After some of my articles about this new trend, I recognized that this concep has been received many concern. And some of you may be interested in developing your own project. If you have that idea, and don’t know where to start, I will give you a place. Of course, you need to have a solid knowledge (or at least fundamental)  about Javascript, HTML, AJAX/JSon … Then, you should check this demo firstly. Cool, right ? And here is the place, where provide you some tools to start your ones. (Hey, if you could be successful to create any one, don’t forget tp drop me an message, I am very pleased to see your work)

In order to have a full enough for this question. I decide to introduce some famous Java IDE for beginners.

Actually, as soon as you go to java.sun.com to download JDK (Java Developement Kit), you will be suggested to grab NetBeans also. Net Beans is really a powerful and suitable for any level of Java developers. You can debug, manage project … and many advanced features. The wonderful is it free and has been developed continuosly by Sun, who created Java language. Moreover, a version of NetBeans, NetBeans BlueJ is developed particularyly for education purposes ( I am using it).

One more thing we could choose is Eclipse. There is no doubt to say that it is the most powerful open source IDE until now. Not only Java, you can use many plugins (include commericial and open sources) to write in any languages such as C/C++, Python, Perl, Flex, Javascript, PHP … Also, becuase it is used for many purposes so, you may get some difficults to config and discover all features. If you deal with some programming language at the same time, try it

After 2 well-known opensources, I will bring you to enterprise and professional IDE. The first is JBuilder. You just need to know that it is really very easy to develop Java applications by this IDE, it support you build robust and well-managed GUI visually (like Visual Studio for .Net).  I can’t say all of its powerful functions in this article. So, you should go to its homepage.

Of course, there are much more IDEs out there, these 3 ones are just my suggestion for a beginner (like me). I will try and write more about other IDEs next time.

After writing this artice about the new kind of web operating system in beta version, I have been asked for more invitations to test this new project. One user has only 5 tickets to invite his/her friends, and me too. However, after contacting with Jeremy ( a staff in MyBooo), I have more 5 invitations. So, if you want, please leave your comments here, with your correct emails, I will send firts 5 people. And after you get them, please help me to send others invitations to who want but can not grab them. Thanks.

When presenting documentary sites such as Wiki, tutorials, F.A.Q … we may want to notice the viewers which links are external (go to other sites) and which links are internal (our sites). Many people often think that Javascript is needed to used, but no, just a couple of CSS lines.  More over, you will be able to apply this tip for others  kinds of web  design techniques.

At the beginning of this week, I have started a new position at a development software company.With a back ground of CSS, xHTML and PHP development, I have been assigned in a web portal project. However, the issue is that it has been developed with J2EE technology, and Struts framework. I have spent first days to study about many new concepts (at least to me): JSP, Servlet, Tag Lib, JSTL, EJB, JDBC … at the meantime, I also need to review and implement Ajax technology as well as Javascript into the current product.

This is really a big challenge for a freelancer, like me. Until now, I have learned myself almost web development knowledge, and in fact PHP, (x)HTML and CSS are not too hard to walk through.Yet, Java is an another story. Java is not just a language, it is a platform, that means I must deal with many complicated concepts and structures in the short time to adapt the new environment. Even I just handle the lay-out of the softwares, I have to master a large amount of identifications, rules and syntax. Fortunately, my new team-ates are enthusiastic to support me. I also open a new topic: Java, in order to share my experiences with this kind of programming language.
