I have joined in a driving school to get license for two wheeler and four wheeler.The first step is Learners License(LLR). Here I just share how to get LLR.This LLR is the permission given by the government to practise in the road with a license holder nearer.This is valid for 6 months. After a month one can get the license.The forms can be get from RTO office.For applying the LLR, with the filled form one has to submit a birthday proof and a address proof.While submitting this form, a class will be taken for half an hour. Then we can collect the LLR in the evening from the a same office.This is the procedure for getting LLR.

XML Parsing

When starting to learn about XML parsing I refered the following link http://java.sun.com/developer/Books/xmljava/ch03.pdf. There I came to know about Apache Xerces parser which is suitable for Java and C applications. The latest version of Apache Xerces is xerces-2_9_1. I have downloaded it from http://xml.apache.org. Simple API for XML(SAX) was also attached with this software. XML document is parsed with this. SAX has collection of classes and interfaces which is helpful in parsing with callbacks. So I tried a small sample program with this . Executed it successfully. I have to learn more in this. And now proceeding furhter examples in the above sun's link.

Android

Today I read about Android. Android is a Linux based cell phone platform.Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz on his blog said he would 'like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort.' So I get little interest and want to know about Android, since the name is new to me. Then I refered the following website http://code.google.com/android/documentation.html. The whole information one can get from here.I get some information from this and sharing here. Like Java this Android also has development kit( Android SDK) and APIs.Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.

Today I installed NetBeans6.0 Beta2. As it needs JDK1.6 I downloaded it and installed it. I tried small Java Applications in this environment. I give command line arguments and worked. This environment is good. For aptitude preperation I solved Logical sequence problems. I read one nice quotation in Google Reader that is

"Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. "

This is true in my life. When I lost the Job oppurtunities in the companies that I attended, I was distressed but I would think of the mistakes and prepared myself well. That helped me a lot to overcome all the barriers and achieved what I aimed.

Today I have tried some logical problems in R.S.Agarwal verbal and non verbal reasoning book. I tried some mathmetical operations problems and blood relation problems. I read google reader. From Java developer's journal I came to know that there is a software called Leopard. It is a programming language featuring an integrated development environment for creating Windows applications. Leopard is designed to be easy to learn and it is especially aimed at users who have never programmed before. I have not heard this IDE before. I know about Netbeans which is also an IDE. Currently NetBeans5.0 is available. After a gap of one and a half year from the NetBeans5.0 release NetBeans6.0 is going to be released.I think to have a experience with these IDEs.
