Please excuse my inexperience(sometimes called "ignorance"), but could you explain "working directory," and what/how, exactly, would you add it to your classpath?
The reason I ask is because I've had LOTS of problems getting any .java files to compile, and I expect it's probably because of some little detail I'm overlooking or don't understand.
Thanks.

Well, Paul,
I went back and made sure ALL cases were matched. No go -- now it tells me "Bad command or file name" when I try to compile HelloWorld.java or TicTacToe.java.
This is the third evening I worked on this. I'm ready to try using VisualCafe. Anymore suggestions? I've went thru what was said to do in the Cattledrive and the Readme.html file (installation instructions). Thanks.

I'm having a problem/s getting started. When I type in (under MS-DOS at the prompt: C:\WINDOWS>) "javac HelloWorld.java" OR "javac TicTacToe.java", I get an error message stating "error: Cannot read: HelloWorld.java" or "error: Cannot read: TicTacToe.java"
I've read the forum where others have had similar problem, but . . .
I set at the end of my PATH: ;C:\JDK1.3\BIN;C:\JDK1.3\JRE\BIN
I set my CLASSPATH: set CLASSPATH=C:\JDK1.3\LIB;.;C:\JAVA
(after making a directory called "java" and storing the HelloWorld.java file in it).
I have VisualCafe installed also. Could that be causing a problem? Please help.

Concerning the cattledrive -- is the book "Just Java 1.2" the same as "Just Java 2?"

I've heard, through what I believe to be good sources, that JAVA programmers are going to be in STRONG demand in the future. I am personally betting on that, since I'm putting in alot of time learning the language. I'm also preparing, in the near future, to take the certification exam. So, how difficult is this exam? What kinds of preparation did those of you that have already taken the test use? (any recommendations on books that prepare one for it, etc.)

In the past 3 months I've tried to find a internship or entry-level Java programming job? Do they exist? I'm a non-traditional college student, half-way through a 2-year Information Systems degree. I'm also coming from a totally different field. I'd like to get some practical experience, but how?? I'm in the second semester of a Java programming course and I've had one semester of C++. How have others out there gotten started??
