I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience in Cobol and DB2. I spent some time working with data modeling and database design, including data warehouses.

I'm presently working with Java to develop Eclipse plug ins and rich client platform applications.

comment Does such an android app exists?
Some events, like Work, happen at a specific time. Your to-do list has to account for events like that. You can search the Google play store for to-do list and see what comes up. As far as a market, who knows? Write the app, advertise it, and see what happens.

comment Deployment of java web application on internet
Yep. Any hosting provider you choose has to have the same or more recent version of Tomcat than the one you chose to develop with, and provide an MS SQL database with the same or more recent version than the one you chose to develop with. Good luck.

comment Is it possible to write a code without class methods, globals, and class variables?
Design your language, on paper. Use your language to solve real world problems, again on paper. After you've actually used your language a couple of dozen times, go and develop your language. Otherwise, you're reinventing PHP.

comment How can I make being code reviewed by someone who doesn't know the language easier?
You don't bring 5,500 lines to your internal code review, now do you> I'm just saying that Code Review is available for you and others reading these comments if you want a more thorough review.

comment Will I learn more from changing other people's code?
@tdammers: Intermediate is when you think you know most things about the language / environment. Advanced is when you realize you know next to nothing about the language / environment, but you can still produce applications. :-)

If you need a review by more experienced Java developers, you can submit your runnable code to codereview.stackexchange.com

comment In plain English, what is a database index most similar to?
You used to be able to say that a database index was like the card catalog at a college library. I wonder how old you'd have to be to have actually used a physical card catalog. I guess a database index is like an iTunes playlist.

comment Unit test cases(JUnit), not by developer but other team members
When test cases are written by someone other than the developer, you're not only testing code, you're testing assumptions.

comment Reinventing the wheel, or the technology that drives it?
In my opinion, if you want to create a better mousetrap, you'd better be one of those people answering questions on Stack Overflow, not one of those people asking the questions.

comment Have there been disputes when software identifies genders with a boolean?
Historically, there were no such things as booleans. There were characters and integers. "M" and "F" would have been way more likely.
