My First Java Web App

After years of learning to programming as an undergraduate, we finally get to see it "come to life" on the big screen! Well, a webpage... but anywho, this pretty cool looking at a a dynamic website that is java powered. I have a stronger background in PHP/MySql development and light experience with ColdFusion so I have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to dynamic web page elements and html.

The assignment this week was to revisit the Stack and implement a web interface for it. A stack is a generic data structure a stack is an abstract data type and data structure based on the principle of Last In First Out (LIFO). With a stack, you can add, retain, and remove data. Use the interface below to visually see the behavior of a stack data structure. Really simple concept, so the brainstorming was easy. 3 options presented to the user: Push, Pop, and Clear.

The tools introduced to us this time around is Wicket, Jetty, and Slf4J. With a combination of these tools and a little bit of imagination, you can have yourself a Java Web App! As a structure for the assignment, Professor Johnson provided us with wicket examples.

I did take a little time to create css div and changed the general appearance of my site. Here is a screen shot:














In the last remaining weeks, I look forward to dealing more with Java web apps and converting our DueDates project into something great.
