Why Java is so complex ?
Hi, i am a new beginner in Java technology. I feel confused with a lot of technology in java, there are J2SE, J2EE, J2ME, Java Beans, Java 3D,etc. J2EE contain JSP and Java servlet. I just want to ask why java is so complex ? In my opinion, software to build Java application is not user friendly. I know there is NetBeans, Sun One studio, but is not likes Microsoft .Net, Microsoft .NET is user friendly, but i know that Java is very powerfull in Linux and in WIndows. Do u have opinion about mystatement ? I make J2SE "Hello World ! " in my Win98, and it's looks so slowly to display in monitor. I try in another komputer with high prosesor and RAM but it still slow. Why Java is very slow ? JSP is not as fast as PHP, ASP. Thx for your answer.

Start with the basics and expand from there. Learn the language and the core APIs of J2SE. Move on to JSPs and servlets of J2EE, then EJBs. Java Beans are pretty straight forward. Yes, the Java world is a complex environment but you are not chained to one vendor.
Hello World Java program executes immediately for me in Win 2K. If you are going to use windoze, I'd recommend using at least win 2K for Java development. JSPs, once compiled to Java classes are very fast.
Java will be fast on Win2K machines.
The best way to learn Java is to use a good Java IDE, I have used UltraEdit and JCreator and they are good for everything.
When you start learning java, start with J2sdk as it is the core of everything else. As you go along you will start to understand the differences in the all the names and you will also understand why they have been grouped together like that. Java seems complex until you get started with it. Like any language, the more time you spend on it, the more things become clear.
Best of luck and remember that there are always forums and people online to help you get started.
Cheers,
