Java the language, plus LOTS!

Frankly I seldom write technical stuffs. However I want to write one at this moment.

Talking about computer language, how long I've learnt Java? Basically about 2 years working experience + 3 years university school + 1/2 year for some tutorial class. At a very beginning to learn how to write a simple class with

public static void main(String[] args) {
...
}

until today I am doing lots of Testing framework investigation (like JUnit, HttpUnit, HtmlUnit, DBUnit, JsUnit and Cactus), I still like this language. The stuff with its cleaness code writing, a theortical but also practical in its Object-oriented sense make me feel no doubt working on it. (Plus now with a new concept Aspect-oriented programming)

I am now still figuring out which the framework that is more suitable to my taste...basically wit Spring and Hibernate already help me lots. Other like Struts, JSF, Tapestry, Webwork, or even Shale (JSF + Struts).... too many and too difficult to choose a suitable one compare with .NET(so its good and its bad to have too many options)

A recent hot framework, the Ruby on Rail(RoR), is tremendously hitting up the market against the Java and .Net. I dont know how long that Java can last for...but I do hope it can make with a better way construting simple framework to work on... to increase its competitive edge.

Still Java is so great!!

As GOOGLE is too successful with that many tools coming around, my colleagues suggest GOOGLE to build an Operating System against Microsoft's....it sounds great isnt it? They got loads of money and great talents to support! Beat Microsoft then...haha

So may have a short trip soon...yeah I come to find you !!!
