My Java mp3 player-NetBeans 7

My Java mp3 player application. I am currently working on a Java SE app that plays mp3's. The key is that it will use an image of an old-school boom box as a background. I am using a JTextArea on a null JFrame layout and then importing the image. NetBeans 7 of course! After that I'm using a JFileChooser to open a file and a Filter to only show mp3's. Tutorial coming as soon as it's done.

The Quest For More Certifications!

We all know that in the IT field certifications mean alot. Often their importance is overrated but cannot be denied. Here in the raleigh/durham area almost every job listing on craigslist states requirements for certifications. I currently hold COMPTIA's A+ certification and am studying for Network +. Some of the material seems as outdated as DOS and Wordperfect, (for those who remember) but it's on there so I will be cramming it in my brain for the next month or two until I'm ready to take the exam. My next target is undecided, I'm considering tackling certs in PHP, JAVA, or MYSQL. For some strange reason MYSQL seems the easiest, (who'da thunk it?). I've been playing around with a LAMP setup at home. Wish me luck!

Welcome! The purpose of my Blog.....

Hello and thanks for reading my blog. My purpose is to document my progress and achievements in the IT world. I plan on starting with basic tutorials for webdesign, HTML and CSS, also covering e-commerce and php. As I learn new things I will share them with you! Hey we all need to share our knowledge and step by step instructions are often hard to find on the internet, as they are often written by those who know so much that they skip the basics. I'll also fill you in on my progress with programming in Android and Java. Oh and hence the name of the blog, I WANT A JOB!!!!
