Umm, I think you might be misunderstanding what Collections are about. I can't think of any
Java project I've ever written, however small, which hasn't used at least one of the collections classes somewhere. Hardly any of these projects used a database.
Collections are a vital part of keeping track of your objects and information while a program is running, and they form the backbone of many of the most important "design patterns".
Here's a challenge for you, to help get you thinking like a Java "pro". Think of a small java program, pretty much anything is OK, briefly describe here what it should do, and we will chip in about ways you could use Collections classes to help write it.
Deal ?
