    <p>I've been doing web application development for the last 3 years in PHP. I'm now on the verge to give Java a go. My last use of the language was nearly 8 years ago and was mostly academic. </p> <p>I'm reasonably well acquainted with PHP's object model (version 5) and I have almost exclusively been coding in OO. I would now like to transport that experience and use it to develop in Java.</p> <p>Where I'm coming from:</p> <ul> <li>linux as a desktop and server</li> <li>Vim/gVim + plugins as an editor</li> <li>MySql for db</li> <li>apache httpd</li> <li>experience with a bunch of PHP frameworks, Zend+Doctrine being the ones I use most</li> </ul> <p>What I've garnered so far about a move to Java:</p> <ul> <li>I need an IDE: IntellijIDEA, NetBeans or Eclipse</li> <li>I need to pick a development framework. Some recurrent names: Spring MVC, stripes, wicket.</li> </ul> <p>Now I need some insight that could help make this transition smoother. But from the way people talk about it, Java seems to be an entirely new beast with its own ecosystem. It sounds as though moving to Ruby or Python would actually be easier, which is curious since, when I look at it, Java conceptually seems the closest to PHP, albeit stricter and precompiled. </p> <p>As weird as this may sound, very few people have publicly documented their experience of such moves. I have searched google, amazon and stackoverflow for similar questions and the results leave to desire. I just can't believe that I would need to start the same as a newbie if I wanted to be productive as a web developer in Java fast.</p> <p>Anybody is welcome to respond, but I somewhat think that people with some valuable experience in both languages would enrich this discussion the most.</p> <ul> <li>What helped you get going quickly in Java? </li> <li>What concepts are omnipresent in Java and absent from PHP and vice versa?</li> <li>Some gotchas for PHP developers going Java.</li> <li>How long before you felt the transition was complete?</li> </ul>

    1. COI used NetBeans briefly then ended up using Eclipse because this is what they used in school lecture. First know the basics by reading a book. Creating your own stuff in Java is fastest (reading java sun tutorial when required and asking on SO). It took me about 1.5 years (but I had no OOP experience prior, only minor scripting on php, LAMP websites). I guess Eclipse IDE also made the learning process smoother, learning the shortcut keys makes it even better.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
