标题: JAVA网站制作之Remote scripting using a servlet
j2EE和asp比较，其实也没什么比的，原因和我上面说那些比较差不了多少，也是稳定性，安全性，J2EE比asp高，速度上比不过asp，asp也是延续着它的拖拽控件的方法，提高速度。servlet

而学习JAVA我觉得最应该避免的就是：只学习，不思考，只记忆，不实践！

吧，现在很流行的Structs就是它的一种实现方式，不过Structs用起来实在是很繁，我们只要学习其精髓即可，我们完全可以设计自己的MVC结构。然后你再研究一下软件Refactoring (重构)和极限XP编程，相信你又会上一个台阶。做完这些，你不如整理一下你的Java代码，把那些经典的程序和常见的应用整理出来，再精心打造一番，提高其重用性和可扩展性。你再找几个志同道合的朋友成立一个工作室吧

Sun公司看见Oak在互联网上应用的前景，于是改造了Oak，于1995年5月以Java的名称正式发布。Java伴随着互联网的迅猛发展而发展，逐渐成为重要的网络编程语言。

你就该学一学Servlet了。Servlet就是服务器端小程序，他负责生成发送给客户端的HTML文件。JSP在执行时，也是先转换成Servlet再运行的。虽说JSP理论上可以完全取代Servlet，这也是SUN推出JSP的本意，可是Servlet用来控制流程跳转还是挺方便的，也令程序更清晰。接下来你应该学习一下Javabean了，可能你早就看不管JSP在HTML中嵌Java代码的混乱方式了，这种方式跟ASP又有什么区别呢？

当然你也可以参加一些开源项目，一方面可以提高自己，另一方面也是为中国软件事业做贡献嘛！开发者在互联网上用CVS合作开发，用QQ,MSN,E-mail讨论联系，天南海北的程序员分散在各地却同时开发同一个软件，是不是很有意思呢？

作者: 深爱那片海 时间: 2015-3-19 23:57
那么我书也看了，程序也做了，别人问我的问题我都能解决了，是不是就成为高手了呢？当然没那么简单，这只是万里长征走完了第一步。不信？那你出去接一个项目，你知道怎么下手吗，你知道怎么设计吗，你知道怎么组织人员进行开发吗？你现在脑子里除了一些散乱的代码之外，可能再没有别的东西了吧！

Jive的资料在很多网站上都有，大家可以找来研究一下。相信你读完代码后，会有脱胎换骨的感觉。遗憾的是Jive从2.5以后就不再无条件的开放源代码，同时有licence限制。不过幸好还有中国一流的Java程序员关注它，外国人不开源了，中国人就不能开源吗？这里向大家推荐一个汉化的Jive版本—J道。Jive(J道版)是由中国Java界大名鼎鼎的banq在Jive 2.1版本基础上改编而成, 全中文，增加了一些实用功能，如贴图，用户头像和用户资料查询等，而且有一个开发团队在不断升级。你可以访问banq的网站

Java语言支持Internet应用的开发，在基本的Java应用编程接口中有一个网络应用编程接口（java net），它提供了用于网络应用编程的类库，包括URL、URLConnection、Socket、ServerSocket等。Java的RMI（远程方法激活）机制也是开发分布式应用的重要手段。

如果要向java web方向发展也要吧看看《Java web从入门到精通》学完再到《Struts2.0入门到精通》这样你差不多就把代码给学完了。有兴趣可以看一些设计模块和框架的包等等。

有时间再研究一下MVC结构（把Model-View-Control分离开的设计思想）

作者: 莫相离 时间: 2015-7-4 15:30
所以现在应用最广泛又最好学的就是J2EE了。 J2EE又包括许多组件，如Jsp,Servlet,JavaBean,EJB,JDBC,JavaMail等。要学习起来可不是一两天的事。那么又该如何学习J2EE呢？当然Java语法得先看一看的，I/O包，Util包，Lang包你都熟悉了吗？然后再从JSP学起。

作者: 乐观 时间: 2015-7-10 12:08
《JAVA语言程序设计》或《JAVA从入门到精通》这两本书开始学，等你编程有感觉的时候也可以回看一下。《JAVA读书笔记》这本书，因为讲的代码很多，也很容易看懂，涉及到面也到位。是你学习技术巩固的好书，学完后就看看《JAVA编程思想》这本书，找找一个自己写的代码跟书上的代码有什么不一样。
