Thanks for your replies. I am just really confused. There's no use of the word Enterprise in other languages used for web development like PHP or Python (correct me if I am wrong). So this is JEE's objective? If I wanted to make "server side, distributed, enterprise" applications I'd go for JEE. Do other languages in web development (PHP, Python) have this sort of objective as well? Bear with me people, just trying to educate myself here. I've been actually developing a web app using Java and Spring on Google App Engine but I am still dumbfounded on the "enterprise" part. Cheers!

The word Enterprise is a bit daunting if you ask me and also a bit misleading. Is that a marketing ploy? You can also build non enterprise sites using Java/Servlets.

I find it funny how actors are paired every so often in movies or at least if one guy is there more often than not the other guest stars. There's Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson (Starsky and Hutch, Zoolander, Night at the Museum, Meet the Fockers, Meet the Parents etc).There's Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider (50 First Dates, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, The Hot Chick etc)and then Adrian Brody and Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong, The Pianist)Funny how I noticed the guy pairs first when I am guy lol. I guess I'll pay more attention to female pairs now hahaha.

Why the switch? Before I was also mulling over minoring in PHP but specializing in Java. But then I I think I've got web development covered pretty well in Java and I want to spend my time learning something better (my opinion) like Python.

Thanks a lot! This is amazing! I have been computer science student for a 4 years and up until now I still can't illustrate bubble sort. I got a high grade for my algorithms class though but I forgot a lot of things after that. Now I can remember better (mental note: bubble sort --> sorting adjacent elements woohooo!)

I am more inclined towards web apps I know my around: 1. HTML2. CSS4. Javascript3. Java and Java Web development (Servlets and JSP).and have some exposure to: 1. PHP 2. XMLOf course a working knowledge of a database system is important. I took a basic course in: 1. MY SQLI am interested to know what how other developers' arsenal here at Trap 17 look like whether one's into making desktop programs, mobile or web applications.I've always wondered about what profile will marketable in the next 5 or 10 years. Any thoughts on this people?

I also use great and beautiful but that's about it really hahaha. I am wondering how one compares women to flowers? Like I said i don't want to sound like I am overdoing it hahaha.

Yesterday I met one of my lady friends for a meeting and she was unusually super girly. She was wearing a dress and not her usual shorts - shirt getup. At that moment all I could muster to say was "nice dress". But really I felt it leaves a lot more to be desired and I didn't think the compliment really sunk in. It's the same in other situations and with other people, I get stuck with using the word "nice" + nice thing like nice shirtnice carnice dresswhen I really want to say something more, highlight the thing that's nice but I am afraid I might overdo it. Any suggestions?

I know for one Java is used for enterprise systems and I guess that's an example of a large site... From Wikipedia: I am wondering what small sites mean...

Unlike travstatesman who has a lot of identities online, I am having trouble keeping tabs with all of my other identities in different online communities. I am talking at the level of usernames here. Not that I want to have different identities, I actually only want and am struggling to have just one for the sake of remembering. And also because in my experience, it's not easy being consistent with so many identities.

This might be off topic, Zakaluka, but I was wondering how java compares to two other big programming languages such as PHP and .NET? I read somewhere in TechRepublic that in the next 5 years these are the skills that will make one's resume relevant...

I have recently been asked to read two books on programming based on Java, which I am going to use in my internship: Refactoring to Patterns by Joshua Kerievsky Test Driven Development by Example by Kent Beck If you've learned enough Java for you to come up with simple applications, also try I mean you SHOULD pick up Effective Java by Joshua Bloch - It's got lots of techniques which really make your code more effective!

Do you guys watch the current season of 24? The bad guys in that season could do just exactly that. They were able to breach the firewall which protects the infrastructure of the U.S. (water, electricity grids etc. ) That is until Jack Bauer got to them! LOL ) I have always thought that the things I watched in 24 would be unthinkable in real life but no.

I am talking about the collect box.. So lemme guess this straight, CSS allows the collect box to rollover down? or is that javascript + Ajax?

Ay, wow that was really amazing! Thanks. You got half of what I wanted with the image-dragging javascript (thanks again) but what about the box that rolls down like it was done in flash? I guess this is where AJAX comes into the picture? Not at all, I am quite a developer myself, but a rusty one
