I am trying to find a schedule of when the OCJP certification exams are given. I have looked at the Oracle website and can't find a schedule of places and dates. Where can I locate this information?

I don't know if the Mckoi database is ever touched by the Cattle Drive programs. I haven't gotten to that level. It took a very long time to get assignment 8 finished, and I'm really discouraged.
As I mentioned, I am trying to get set to learn MySQL. If you can recommend a book that teaches the newest version of MySQL, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Arlene

I just joined the group. ACB

This all sounds good. I would probably be looking to take the exam at the end of November or beginning of December. I will give my best efforts to keep up with the group if you decide to move faster. I agree that we should post questions to Java Ranch. You'll need to help me get set up with yahoo group. ACB

Unfortunately, this Just Java 2 the book that is suggested for the lessons at the Cattle Ranch. I'll check out HSQLDB and see if I can get that to work. I was actually trying to get the Microsoft Access Northwind database to connect to MySQL so that I can work on learning SQL. I thought if I could get the Mckoi database connected that I could follow the same steps for Northwind. Thanks, ACB

I am working with the Just Java 2 textbook. In chapter 23 it gives directions to download the Mckoi database. I downloaded it and it looks like I only received 1 jar file. The book says there should be 3. It then says to go to c:\mckoil.0.2\demo\simple. The version that I downloaded is mckoiddb_1.2.02. Within demo, there is a folder named single. I can't find the SimpleApplicationDemo and I can't get this to work. What do I need to do? ACB

What do we need to do to get started? I am just learning Java. Is it ok for me to be in this group? I don't want to slow down everyone's progress. ACB

I am trying to keep myself motivated to study for the SCJP 6 exam. I would definitely like to join a group. Thanks, Arlene

I'm starting to study for the exam. I'm planning to use the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 6 Study Guide. Is there a study group that I can join? Arlene

Not yet. I will send Janiece a note to see what's up. Thanks, Arlene

I submitted assignment 5 for nitpicking on 5/31/2011. Katrina forwarded it to Janiece. I hadn't heard anything back by yesterday evening so I submitted it again. I still haven't heard anything. Hopefully there isn't that much nitpicking required on this one. Thanks, Arlene
