It’s been a long time since I web programmed in JSP. I switched to ASP because all my colleagues were using it and it was easier to join them then for them to join me.
I’ve been in love with Java since my college years and since my profession is not a programmer, my programming skills tuned way down since graduation.
True, during the past couple of years I programmed Java applications to automate simple tasks, gathering and sorting data, but not anything complex.
Now I decided to hop back on the wagon and explore JSP web developing again, refresh my memory. As an editor, I use NetBeans 6.0, I vaguely remember 4.0 which we used to develop web application and the next edition I simply used it for Java applications. Now everything is drag and drop. So I am reading the tutorials and applying the methods and everything seems to come back, I’m like UHHHH, HMMMM, yeah, I remember that, this is how this goes, OK now what’s next.
Since programming is not the main function, I’m easily distracted to do what I’m hired to do! ;P whenever I’m free or bored I continue my readings, it is a slow process … JSPing away ;D

Well well seems you are not sure where to start. Here is a small challange
‘facebook.com’ the task is simple design and implement the same functionality of that site. Moreover, add your own touches for extra credit.

Good luck, I haven’t done programing in about 3 years.. I am a blank slate if I try from scratch but if I have some code in front of me I can figure things out a bit!

I hope the 1st comment is not serious, I’m still trying to remember how to install MySQL and get it connected to my Java application!!
marzouq, it’s hard to be in programming if it’s not you main job function but you can work around it if you need to
