Cattle Drive Process

[Jean-Marc Bottin]

Hi,

I have already posted a question regarding the length of the payment (its validity). Before I do the big jump (I want to join the cattle drive) I still have more questions. Some aspects of the process still a little bit unclear for me.

Do you need books (specifically Just Java 2)?
I have bought a few months ago Head First Java, this book is magic but I felt the need for something which will go more in details but still for beginners. So I bought Thinking in Java 3rd edition. Is this material (these two books plus the internet) will be enough to help me during the assignments or do I need more books?

How the assignment process is working?
I read it on the web site, do it and submit the answer. If I do it right or wrong the nitpicker will go back to me and give me feedback on the program itself plus direction to improve my programming skills?
If I get it wrong, does the nitpicker will point me to the right direction and help me understand why I get it wrong?

Thanks,

Do you need books (specifically Just Java 2)?
You do not specifically need Just Java 2. It sounds like what you already have should be sufficient, at least for now.

I read it on the web site, do it and submit the answer. If I do it right or wrong the nitpicker will go back to me and give me feedback ...

The feedback is usually in the form of a clue, "Have you thought about this ...?" , or a suggestion, "I suggest you try this ..."

If you have questions about "why that way", it's usually best to ask them here in the forum. If the clue is not clear, you can write back to the nitpicker and tell him/her that you didn't understand the clue.
