Recently, I began two software projects that I am undertaking in my spare time for my own purposes. One is a small application in the prototyping stage. The other is a huge enterprise level application currently in the planning and designing stage.

Since I am doing this in my spare time, I have the luxury of working within a time frame that suits my needs (meaning I don’t have to rush to meet milestones other than those I may set for myself). This also makes it convenient for me to allocate some time for posting to my blog.

Because these two projects are my own personal projects, I also get to have a little fun in making certain decisions such as which programming language to use. I decided on using Java for both projects because in my career I have so far only skirted the use of Java and never really worked with it on a project from start to finish. This will give me the opportunity to get some in-depth experience with this programming language hopefully getting as good with it as I have been with VB.Net and C-Sharp.

As I explore the guts and the glory of the Java programming language, I will post my musings here on my blog.
