zaTILL Opdatering

2008-11-06T21:55:00.002+02:00

Die zaTILL projek het nou 'n BLOG om dit makliker te maak om opdaterings en nuus uit te gee.zaTILL is 'n gratis, oopbron projek om verkooppunt-sagteware te ontwikkel vir klein besighede in Suid Afrika. Die meeste besigheids-eienaars kan nie 'n POS pakket koop aan die begin nie aangesien dit so vreeslik duur is. Die idee is om 'n gratis stelsel te ontwikkel wat voldoen aan die vereistes van klein

Java Take, Projekte en Huiswerk

2008-10-26T18:14:00.001+02:00

Dankie vir al die eposse oor take, huiswerk en projekte. Ek wil julle ALMAL baie graag help, maar daar is net nie genoeg tyd in elke dag nie. Tans hou ek 'n databasis van versoeke aan (in H2 Database, dis fantasties!) en sodra daar genoeg navraag is na 'n onderwerp, skryf ek 'n kort artikeltjie vir JavaK.Ek kan egter nie help met jou taak of projek nie. Die webwerwe word gratis aangebied en ek

Die plan is om stadig in Java in te beweeg en te

Nuwe webwerf

2008-10-24T10:30:00.000+02:00

Daar is 'n nuwe webwerf by NoFuss Solutions vir diegene wat dalk nie Java op skool het nie. Dis meer gemik op die van julle wat Java doen vir 'n stokperdjie eerder as 'n skool vak. Die klem val dus meer op die algemene gebruike van Java en aanvaar dat mense nie noodwendig Java agtergrond het nie.Die idee agter die nuwe webwerf is om meer Afrikaanse gebruikers 'n kans te gee om die Java-taal te

Afrikaans bo!

2008-10-10T15:54:00.002+02:00

Sjoe! Dis lekker om vir 'n slag ietsie in Afrikaans te tik. Ek is tans besig met 'n Afrikaanse handleiding vir Java studente en ander nuuskieriges. Indien jy sou belangstel in so iets,laat my weet WAT jy soek in so 'n handleiding.Die idee is natuurlik om dit gratis weg te gee op die internet, maar ek wil darem net seker maak dis nuttig en nie vol gemors nie. As jy weet van enige, goeie Afrikaanse

Skooltake, projekte en huiswerk

2008-08-09T17:30:00.004+02:00

Hallo.Ons ontvang vreeslik baie navrae oor skooltake en projekte. Onthou tog asseblief dat ons in Java spesialiseer en jou nie kan help met jou geskiedenis taak nie! Soveel ouers skryf vir ons om uit te vind oor walvisse of waar die spaarvarkie vandaan kom. Alhoewel ons julle frustrasie verstaan kan ons regtig nie hulpbronne aanwend vir navrae wat nie met ons Java-fokus te doen het nie.Indien u
