Complete systemp programming example

[Kevin Adams]

Hi everyone.

For a while now, I've been learning Java's syntax and rules, but I'm getting stuck on how to put it all together to form a complete, working system.

What I'd like to be able to do is be able to have a simple web page where a user can create a simple address book, and then later come back and retrieve an address from that address book. Basically, I just want to create a simple input/output application, but I want to do it *properly*. I want it to be a tiered design.

The reason I ask is that I come from a procedural programming background and I have never had object-oriented training before. I have a rudimentary knowledge of how a tiered architecture works.

Can anyone recommend a book or a website that shows, from start to finish, the steps needed to complete such an application? I know, that with an example or two, I would be able to understand how this works.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

P.S. I'm sorry if this is a beginner question and needs to be moved to the beginner forum.

D'oh! I fat-fingered the title. That should be "Complete system programming example", not systemp.

I found web apps a bit challenging ... there are many things to wire up and many places to go wrong that result in nothing happening. I guess I'm suggesting you find a simpler start and work up to that. Look at the Cattle Drive assignments here on the ranch. That's a pretty cool way to learn. They even get around to Servlets for your original web app idea.
