Marky goes forth into Java

Tags:

Many years ago it seemed clear to me that I was moving away from development and more into a project management role within my company. I said at the time (circa 2004) that the true test of whether I was a developer or not would be if I learned Java.  And it is 2009 and I have little to know practice experience with Java. It is clear to me that I have missed on a huge opportunity to expand my learning and solve many of the practical day to day problems we have with my customer.

I am going to have to learn Java (or at least a smattering) in the next few months as I have tagged myself on 3 projects to be completed before the summer and they all require Java. Sametime, Omnifind and Digital Signatures. The only problem is who is going to be doing the program management - and we're working on that one as well.

What I want to do it track my journey as a help to anyone else daft enough to follow behind. If nothing else i am very good at doing the research and using other people as sources of information. So why not collate it..........for myself as well :)
