RE: Need help getting started

Joe, I don't think we've enough information to state that she doesn't have Oracle running on her Linux machine at home, and hasn't diligently practiced and studied. I learnt Java in a similar way before getting my first Java developer job back in '96. I would expect people on this list to be a little more supportive of someone who wants to learn.

Karen, the first thing that comes to mind is to try to join the graduate training programme at a big outsourcing shop like EDS, IBMGS or CSC. They're always hiring, and they often offer training.

Cheers,

g
