Firstly thanks again to MDec (already said thanks to the MDec representative Kah Heng) for giving away courses for Lecturers and Trainers. I together with E1 attended last week's one on J2EE. Sadly there were absentees. Reason reckoned is that Java is difficult. I reckon same too for college goers who often go for the low lying fruits such as Python (sorry Boh and other gurus) and Php.
The representative of MDec who on the last day debrief us, announced to my joy that there will be a full Java track in coming months. Meaning you get to learn Java from scratch till you can Swing on EJB3. Last Sunday buka puasa with Eric, he told me he is interested too. I like to encourage lecturers/trainers of like-mindedness to go for this FREE course. To push you over the edge, here is some short pitch on why you need the taste of Java in your lips. "10 Reasons Why You Need Java Now" 1. The world will end in 2012. You got to live life to the fullest. Dying without knowing Java is like never experiencing sex. 2. Java is the defacto matured ironman of programming languages. I use to say to my 9 year-old prodigy - If C is the mother of all languages, then Java is its dad. 3. Java developers fetch higher pay. J2EE architects sleep on business class flights. 4. If you are more idiot and dumb than my 9 yr-old son then u can download from www.alice.org and learn the concepts real fast. 5. You can say this to the other gurus, "Heh.. sorry.. I am only good in Java". 6. Top SourceForge projects such as ADempiere are prorgammed in Java. 7. Java has lots of API Libraries that are matured for the serious industries. 8. IBM uses Java. 9. Even Sun dies after giving birth to Java. And Oracle is willing to take over the biological son. 10. The world has only 10,000 certified Java holders. It is still a murky blue ocean, not as saturated and cluttered as Python's 50,000 strong. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Join Open Source Developers Club Malaysia http://www.osdc.my/ Facebook Fan page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=98685301577 http://www.facebook.com/OSDC.my You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OSDC.my Mailing List" group.
