I finally understand java! It took me a long time to grasp the formatting and structure but I believe I have finally figured it out. The 3 projects got easier for me in sequence even though the programs became more complex with each one. I have done five or six of the program problems in the chapter review sections and I have even made a few programs of my own.

Journal 1:

I really enjoy working the critical thinking homework assignments. They give me a way to take my mind off of work during a long 12 hour shift. However, ive had some trouble with java. It took me 3 tries to get java loaded correctly onto my computer. I don’t understand how the JCreator program works. Its all very confusing. When I try to type the example codes in the book they do not work. I have checked, rechecked and triple checked to make sure I am not typing anything incorrectly but it seems I am at a loss. Frustration!

entry 1

Java,

I am understanding the concepts as i read them in the textbook. However, i cant seem to make my java programs work. I enter the text into java precisely as it is written in the book but no dice.
I cant figure out what exactly it is i am doing wrong. Angry fist java, angry fist.
