SVN

First off - I'd just like to point out that now Planet Ubuntu should be getting all blog posts from here :)

Secondly, I've set up a local SVN repository (without apache access). This is mainly just for my coding, which I seem to be doing a lot of at the minute, so I figured in my downtime from that, I'd set up SVN.

It was pretty easy, and I have Netbeans (we have to use it at Uni, I've grown to like it though, it's pretty good) set up to commit to the svn repo's for the various projects etc. Which was also incredibly easy to set up. I'm pleased I did it, whether it will be used remains to be seen. Either way, I think I better get back to coding this interface! So far I'm doing ok (though I've not got more than 1 class so far either...)

Jaunty Java

Ok so this post has nothing to do with Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) & Java as a whole, it's about the 2 separate subjects, and my lack of knowledge regarding them (currently!).

So I'm thinking that when I've got a bit of free time I'm going to try Jaunty in a VM, just because I've not actually tried it at all so far, I'm a bit disappointed in myself! From what I've heard on IRC and generally from people using it, there's been the usual breakage of some things, but that's to be expected. Other than that I've actually heard a lot of positive things about it, so I'm looking forward to actually installing it on my system :D

As for Java, some of you may know that I'm on a Software Engineering course at University. This means I do a fair amount of programming and general sitting-in-front-of-a-computer-looking-busy ;) . One of the modules on my course this year is OO (Object-Oriented) Software Development, for which we're using Java. Now I'm not a huge fan of Java, but I can appreciate it has many uses, and I don't mind coding in it. The only issue is that, from the lectures, I don't actually have a fantastic understanding of OO Methods and such. So I got a book out of my Uni library - Java in Two Semesters - so far, it's actually really good, and I already have a better understanding of things :) Now I just have to finish an assignment!

One final comment - I'll be changing my Planet Ubuntu feed in the coming week to include all posts from my blog, as I'd say that 99% of my posts relate to Ubuntu in some way :)
