Dear Good morning!
First all many thanks to the team members you really helped me a lot from day one when I joined this forum and my intention is to be featuring here frequently to help others as well. This is the only forum that I respect so much, my seven years of coding with VBA would have been very difficult for me without your clear help.
Now I'm learning JAVA in a formal way or classroom method though at the end I will get a degree in computer science, but that is not what I want because the method of teaching there it follows too much theories not practical or real situation like what happens here. That is what I'm missing a lot , kindly is there anyone who knows another forum that covers JAVA like the way we cover VBA here then let me know.
From what I have seen the concept from VBA VS JAVA are very much similar, for example all variable must be declared first before use even functions same they have also key words as well like we have in VBA. I'm now using the IDE called netbeans and Jframe for forms, though I can easily store data back to MS Access but since in MS Access I use it in my other programs as an FE and store data into my MYSQL I will continue this way.
Why then learning JAVA ? JAVA has so many advantages than VBA , just to mention but a few the Json libraries are readily available , XML and the much needed APIs while in VBA you have to rely on GitHub for the Json library is not available MS Access including the communication APIs with other software. Yes it can be done in MS Access as well but almost impossible to use the mobile smart phones.
We need to shift also to smart phones, for example I have developed two accounting software, one is running in MS Accesses and store data in there and other one connect to a cloud database MYSQL. Now I want to have the third one where users can use smart phones hence the need for a proper advanced programing language like JAVA. Also in terms of ranking JAVA is well respected. For accounting I have no issues because I'm a qualified Chartered Certified Accountant (UK) and Certified Internal Auditor (USA).
