how to start working with J2EE

should i learn java first and then touch J2EE

[phparion]

I have very solid programming skills. I know all concepts of OOP including API programming etc .. Can I start working with J2EE considering the fact that I never touched Java before? or should i get Ivor Horton book of Java first and finish it and then take on J2EE?

which is the best way to proceed. thank you

Note, this forum is for JavaScript, not Java. The two are not related at all. You should pose your question in a Java forum instead (Webmaster World does not have a Java forum).

read this [webmasterworld.com] and tell me where should I go?

It sounds like you should post in the
[webmasterworld.com...] forum, as was indicated in that thread.
Note, I agree with you that Webmaster World should have a Java forum (or more accurately, a JSP forum). If it were my decision, there would be one in the "Webmaster World [webmasterworld.com]" category, alongside the other server side languages like PHP.

besides the forum confusion, can anybody answer my question please? :)

thank you

If you have no experience with the Java platform, then I would recommend getting a book on Java first. It's a very full featured language. The J2EE stuff adds on to the basic Java platform. You're going to be better off having a solid foundation of understanding on which you can then expand. I'm not familiar with the book you mention, but I would definitely suggest a Java book first. :)

I had got the Ivor Horton Book on the weekend and after just ten hours of study I have finished six chapters and wrote a lottery system console application in Java , Hurrah! I can write Java in my CV now :D ....

It is an awesome book I will recommend it to all newbies. I am looking to finish this book with practical examples very soon because the OOP concepts are similar that I have been working for very long now only syntax is different.

thank you for your wise words
