Database Management In Visual Studio

I'd go with design patterns not only for better, maintainable code but for a quicker development while still being very structured.

For low coupling and high cohesion (engineering), patterns are great solutions.

If you're new to DP's, check out Head First Design Patterns:
http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596007126

While the book has a lot of humour, it's still a pretty good book when first learning patterns.

And then there's the holy book of DP's with Gang of Four (GoF):
http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Elements-Reusable-Object-Oriented/dp/0201633612

I had started with GoF's but it was with Head First's book that my understanding of design patterns became clear. HF uses neat techniques exploiting the memory so that learning the patterns are easier.

I already have HeadFirst Design Patterns,I like how it's tied to java which I already familiar with


thanks geetard

anybody who has more input is welcome to share his point of view here  :roll:

I have been working on some examples that use Math.sqrt (which is the square root method of the Math class if I am getting this right) and it doesn't work (compiler throws a cannot find symbol error) unless I   import java.lang.Math expressly at the beginning of the source code.
What's wrong? I thought lang classes didn't need to be imported.

You'll have to check your CLASSPATH.

And how to you compile? i.e. Which IDE do you use? Or do you compile and run through cmd?

can you show us the error you're getting?

along with the line that produces the error

Patterns are nice and all, but you do have to understand how they work. You cant just link a couple of them together and think you have an architecture.

KISS is always important, Keep It Stupid Simple. Don't overuse these design patterns but learn from them and why they are documented in the first place.

Yes,I do understand that these concepts shouldn't be overused

sometimes they are good,sometimes it's better to avoid them

Yeah, the problem was Classpath, thanks!
Right now I am still using the JDK plain and simple through CMD.
Still I find weird that I have to run the java or javac commands in the same bin dir of the jdk, even after setting the Classpath correctly.
If I am in another dir and type 'java - version' I get:

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Check your "PATH" variable in System Variables. Is your JDK directory in it?

If not then:

Create a new variable (in System Variables), name it JAVA_HOME and paste your JDK directory in it (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.x.x).

Then go to PATH (in System Variables and not User var) and add %JAVA_HOME%/bin; after a semi-colon. Now you should be able to enter "java -version" in your porn folder without any errors.

1) Thanks, that worked like a charm!
2) How did you know about my "porn" folder, that was supposed to be a secret damn you!!!! :lol:

Hi guys! I don't know who is still hanging around theiSONEWS these days and it's been 5 years, but after a lot of self teaching (MOOC, tutorials, books, etc) and an 8 week iOS bootcamp I am proud to say that I have been working as an iOS developer for the past 7 months and I am having a blast

Good shit man.
Self teaching takes discipline!
What kind of apps are you developing?
