I've been in IT for more than two decades and never learned JavaScript.
As a C\C++ and Java developer, I viewed JavaScript as one of those languages that was beneath me.
I even learned JSP programming on this site.  Why would I need JavaScript?
Fast forward to now and BAM! JavaScript is a thing.  Color me shocked.

How can your book help a jaded old bit cruncher like me?
Could you expand on you comment about working more effectively?  Convince me I need to learn yet another programming language.

Why Kotlin?  Android Studio does Java just fine.

I ask this because I truly don't know what Kotlin is and did not google it.  Why would I learn a new language when Java works great in Android Studio?!  Is there something special about Kotlin?

Thank you all very much and especially the nit pickers who had to go through all those lines of code.

Hello,

Just checking to see if emails got lost in the great bit bucket that is the internet. I submitted jdbc4 on jan 11 and haven't heard anything, so either it didn't get to you or your reply didn't get to me or maybe somebody's on vacation

I am unable to get this to work if the schema is inside a jar file. Is there a way to point to a schema inside a jar file and have it work?
no problem, it was just that my computer had a hiccup when I sent the email and I just wanted to make sure that it actually got sent.

...or maybe nitpick@javaranch.com mailbox is down? I submitted an assignment a few days ago(3 or 4) and I have not heard anything back.
I can resend if needed.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but here it is anyway
try {
String thePath = "C:\\the\\path\\to\\file.ext" ;
File fileName = new File(thePath) ;
FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream(fileName) ;
props.load(file) ;
}
If you have a relative path issue then adjust the string accordingly.
I'm using SlickEdit v8.0 for editing. I thought that this version was the first to fully support XML but maybe 7.x had "some" support.
Have you tried re-tagging the XML file? Menu Search->Tag Files
In v8.0 there is a default XML tag file... do you have one in 7.0.1?
EDIT: argh... v8.0 puts all caps also
