Hello all, I know this is the LUG group, but I was wondering if anybody here knows of any enterprise (aka J2EE) java developers who might be interested in contracting work? Also if anybody knows of a local JUG community, please let me know! The gigs would probably be short term 1099 proje

I'd also like to jump into this fray (even though it seems off topic...) For the education part: I do happen to have a BS in CE. My opinion is that getting the degree (which I completed in '93, so maybe my info is dated) did a couple of things: gave you a well rounded education (i.e. made y

I had tried many Java IDEs before and kept going back to vi. Most of the IDEs were cumbersome - both to use and in memory/CPU consumption. I've been using eclipse for about a year and have to say I'm convinced that it is better than just using an editor (which is a big switch for me). It ha
