Bernard	Joel, I've had an interest in Java for sometime. I'm also interested in the IDE JBuilder X. The problem is, I can't seem to get information on books/manuals that clearly instruct on how to use the program. I contacted Borland and the books they have all make the assumption that I'm familiar with the application. Where can I find "Introductory Level" material for the novice. I have JBuilder X on one of my PCs. I also looked around for classes without success. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Bernard # Posted - 29/01/2005 10:14:00
joeldixon Posts: 170	Firstly, welcome Bernard, how'd you stumble upon my site? I think you're the third person to view my Blog - my readership is growing exponentially As far as using using JBuilder - have you seen these pages? They're a set of howtos provided by Borland. They're for JBuilder 2005 (one version after JBuilder X), but there isn't much that has changed. This site provides links to the same tutorials, but in a more organised fashion. For instance, this tutorial is a good introduction to the IDE. If you're after actual paper books - I can't really help you out. I guess I should probably read through the tutorials myself. I usually just stuff around with a product until I've figured out how to use it. I'm probably missing a lot of useful features! # Posted - 29/01/2005 14:00:00
