Step By Step 下定决心学习

一直以来都感觉自己不是努力的学Java, 所以进度非常慢。不是家里的事,就是闲得就看国内的连续剧给耽误了。从“Java Introduction” 课程上完都已经是快两年了,但编程技术好像没什么变化。
太慢了,这篇开始,我下决心要学习“新”东西。

有些建议是从这里开始:
Sun Java: Tutorials and Online Training
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/

一本教科书,是去年上课留下的。
还有很有名的Bruce Eckel的 "Thinking in Java"(第四版都下载了N年了,就没动过)。
曾经读过一篇10年编程路的Blog,感觉还应该加强一下逻辑和数学方面的回顾啊!

SpringGraph

In my recent project, I was asked to develop an component in Flex to represent hierarchical relationship of each item. It has interactive ability to display drill in relationship of items.
The component should have filter which can opt user defined key attributes or properties as well as search box. I also think it should have an bread-thumb trail like navigation to go back to the original place.
I found a good example from Flokoon ( www.flokoon.com).
Then there is an impressive sample with code from Mark Shepherd
The component is here which has docs to expain package.
The drawback is the component is Flex 2 what I believe.
