Java window programming using NetBeans 6.0: For students , who only know about c/c++ , creating their own window programing is nothing less tha a dream come true.I remember the day , when i for first the first time made a Frame to come up on my screen using Java.But that is really old day. Now we have NetBeans 6 , which even a first timer can use to create a much better loking Interface in just minuteswithout even knowing Java.And for those already familiar with programming on older tols like Turbo c/c++ ide or notepad,it is like a boon. When i introduced my professional frends (working in some big industry)to the NetBeans plateform during holidays,they were simply shocked to see that the most irrritating job (GUI designing) can be accomplished in mnutes without effort. So , when students here asked for window programming in my campus , i cant resist them. On the day came around 90 students.Most of them were already familier with NetBeans and GUI Developement (only a day before i introduced them to NetBeans and most of them worked late night to makesome good :) Interface). Now the task was to fetch/put data in those Com[ponents.Though as is well know , some of them like Table , List etc is ll diffiult to program than TextField and Combo, so i started with easier ones. And it seems i have touched the Bee Heave.Almost everyday tens of them come to my room asking lot many questions , showing me codes etc etc.Though some time it is lil disturbing (i AM MANAGING A REALLY BIG & complex PROJECT NOW A DAY),but still it feels warm. For our sun Developer Group , we have organised a Java Advanced Group , and discussed project Scenario , discussed JDBC (as our project is mainly based on this) and few naming conventions . In most of the universities (in INDIA) course currilulum includes VB as default Visual Programming language. But considering the simplicity,applicability and readability of java code , i understand Java/Swing/NB combination is much better than VB. Also considering the fact that java is open source where as VB is still owned by MS and it charges for the same.

Few Tips for Sun Campus Ambassadors We ppl here at sun-club SMVDU are doing great. Actually in last week of nov, i with some of my friends offered my university authority a plan to automate the campus which will make admission, administration , marking scheme and other processes online and transparent. It will also work as the backbone of University management. (Project Codenamed CAMS cps).Initially it was little difficult to convince them , but after seeing my presentation (combined system & interface organization), planning and commitment, they finally accepted my proposal. This proposal includes 7 packages , which will take care of all the wings of university , from admission(on line/off- line)to mess management to atendence to grading to web etc . Currently we are working on SIS (Student information system) and admission Management system. Both of them are almost in there last phase. This overall initiative has given us (Sun Club) a reputation.Ppls connected to sun club are getting attention.Other than these, We ppl are also getting other prevelages.Like 1) All permission for insalling / accessing softwares in lab. 2) can work in lab for n hours. 3)Permission to go out to participate intech-fests. 4)Even some concession (if possible), and better marks ( :) ) 5)More attention of faculties. Also 1) here in our campus , we have Operating systems in 4th sem.I have asked the concerned faculty for a 1 hour presentation on solaris 10 (basics) and she has responded positivelyfor tues-wed day. 2)In earlier years, we were taught Microsoft SQL server in 6th sem. This time i convinced my faculty(Mr. Neeraj Nehra & sonik Mama)to tach Mysql (as its part of sun now). and obviously , he agreed :). Other tahn all these , ppls working for sun-club are feeling more confidant , and learning at the same time. we have got a mail account sun.club@smvdu.ac.in and our website will be totally new looking from tuesday. All of u can initiate similar projects in ur own campus , or even we can collaborate . Regards :sushant kumar SUN CA SMVDU (smvdu.ac.in)
