Java developers

It's java_dev's birthday: 4 today.

Soon it will be old enough to read and write...

I need help finding a general list of collges that offer JAVA programming courses. I'm a programming newbie, but quite knowledgable in advanced mathematics and computers. I have a few interesting ideas for applications, so I picked up a Java book the other day and began studying it.

It seems I've taken quite well to it, although it has only been a few weeks. I've come to a point now where I want to learn in a classroom environment so that I can troubleshoot with a professor, bounce my ideas off him/her. I also want to become certified.

Do you know of any such list colleges, or perhaps some in the western GA area? I googled a bit, but I'm having a hard time wading through all this...

thanks ;)

I have an XML file that I read in and parse, and then based on some conditions I may need to modify the file and add a new node. Whats the best way to modify the file itself? I haven't seen a way to do it in the XML API. I'm looking through the file writer but concerned that reading in a large file, comparing, and writing the file back out would be slow.

The only caveat is it MUST be java 1.4.x. I can not use 1.5

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, I'm reading input from a server, and as usual - first come the headers, and then the content. I'm reading it all with BufferedReader.readLine(), until a null is encountered.

Problem is: I'd like to separate the headers from the content. In the input they're separated by a blank line, but I'm not sure what readLine() returns when it encounters a blank line.. supposedly - nothing, but yet if I just print everything, it prints out fine.. so it does return something.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
