So I've updated the Craigslist search App which I wrote a couple of layoffs ago. Which I'm looking for a job once again. If you have a decent job for me, please email me, it should be Robert Kraig At Gmail.com all one word. So anyways, check out the new styling of the app because it looks pretty nice and for those of you in northern California, it now has those areas added into it.

Hover over: Home->Find Jobs

You can find jobs in all these places by using this link, it basically scrapes information off craigslist to be useful to web developers, and maybe some other fields.

Goto: Home->Find Jobs

Eclipse 3.0 IDE for Java development is far superior in my opinion than it's previous version 2.x. The newest version of Eclipse has one of the most streamline IDE interfaces i have seen since Microsoft Visual Studio .Net. But Eclipse is free as in beer.

My first impression was this is going to be complicated and hard to use like the previous builds of eclipse and netbeans which was included with the sdk of java a little while back. Netbeans 3.5 is one of the most complicated IDE's i have ever had the misfurtune of trying out and being overwelmed the minute i open it up. Well, with eclipse 3.0, i was excited and very surprised to see how easy it was to get started on building my first hello world console application using the Welcome menu i clicked on the tutorial on getting started on building my hellow world application. It was a breaze, and now i can actually get started working with my java book because i can now understand how to compile a simple application using the eclipse IDE :) I am now excited to start learning java just because of the pure ease of use of the Eclipse IDE. Java no longer seems like something i will have to grudge through.

Two thumbs up from me.
