1.first you need a computer(he he he)


2.you need to install some JDK version on your computer
The latest can be downloaded Here


3.A Software to Write programs in

It's realy easy to use one than to type on the notepad and run manualy.If you want to learn from scrap you should use JCreator LE.because it only provides the basic needs you can learn a lot you can get it Here.

If you want to do High level programing use NetBeans IDE You can find the latest version Here .This is not good for basic learning because it does more than half of the coding for you

4.Configuring your pc(this part is not needed if you use NetBeans)
You must set the eniviroment variable to the bin folder do as below

  • Find where the bin folder is an copy it's path.it should be somting like this "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin"

Setting up Heron Cluster with Apache Aurora Locally

Image
In this post we will be looking at how we can setup Heron steam processing engine in Apache Aurora in our local machine. Oh Boy this is going to be a long post :D. I am doing this on Ubuntu 14.04 and these steps should be similar to any Linux machine. Heron supports deployment in Apache Aurora out of the box. Apache Aurora will act as the Scheduler for Heron after the setup is complete. In order to do this first you will have to setup Apache Zookeeper and allow Heron to communicate with it. Here Apache Zookeeper will act as the State Manager of the Heron deployment. if you just want to setup a local cluster without the hassle of  installing aurora take a look at my previous blog post -  Getting started with Heron stream processing engine in Ubuntu 14.04 Setting Up Apache Aurora Cluster locally  First thing we need to do is to setup Apache Aurora locally. I will try to explain as much of the configurations as i can as we go on. First lets get a Apache Aurora cluster running on our

Reading and Writing Binary files in java - Converting Endianness ( between Big-endian byte order and Little-endian byte order)

Image
In this post we will look into working with binary files in java. The end goal of the post will be to create simple java application that reads a binary file and write it back to a different binary file. The difference between the two files would be the byte order. If we read in a file with Big-endian byte order we will write it back with a Little-endian byte order and vice-versa. Lets first understand what is meant by byte order and what Big-endian and Little-endian are. If you are already familiar with this you can skip this section of the post You can find the complete code for Binary format converter that is explained in this post at GitHub -  https://github.com/pulasthi/binary-format-converter Understanding byte order and Endianness The endianness refers to the order that bytes are stored when storing multi byte values such as Integers and Doubles this is also known as the byte order. The endianness does not have any meaning when you consider a single byte that is s

Writing Unit Tests to test JMS Queue listener code with ActiveMQ

During my GSoC project for OpenNMS i did some work with JMS and wanted to write test classes to make sure that my code was working well. In this article i will try to explain how you can use ActiveMQ to write test cases for your JMS code. This is very handy when your code has a part that listens to a JMS queue. Apache ActiveMQ  Apache ActiveMQ is a extremely popular and very powerful open source messaging and Integration Patterns server. You can check it out here . The part we will be using to run our test classes is the embedded broker that is provided by ActiveMQ. This allows you to create a temporary broker for test purposes to create a JMS queue in our case. If you want to learn more about the embedded broker check out this article . The easiet way to create a embedded broker is through the following code line. This will automatically create a embedded broker. ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false"
