Re: is class file backward compatible

Joe Sam,
Just out of curiosity, do you have any suggestions on where one could learn
real-life Java? I know there are tons of examples to do just about anything,
but I would love to see some good production code. Nothing big, just a small
maybe order entry code or something simple, but complete.

Probably nothing out there for free as I am doing this on my own, but
thought I would at least check. I've thought about taking a course at
javapassion.com, but haven't done it yet.

Thanks in advance,

These kinds of things, and many others, are reasons I usually advise
shops that are just starting Java to bring in a trusted, knowledgeable
resource, and take some real-life oriented classes if possible. Instead,
it's often "it's just another language, gotta code, gotta code."

One local company was so disgusted that I wanted to teach fundamentals
in an on-site class series that they cancelled after three sessions in
favor
of straight ahead coding. My own estimation is that decision has cost them
at least a quarter million dollars (people working there have larger
estimates) while their users suffered, and continue to suffer, from those
early attempts.
