Hi Chad
Thank you very much for putting up an excellent website of this nature. I googled “form validation in smartgwt” and I found your website. I must say I have gotten more good things here than I needed. Your site reminds me of Santosh Kumar’s blog in my Swing days. Now learning GWT/SmartGWT and loving the experience.
I kindly request you post more SmartGWT articles here.
Keep up the good work as you are an inspiration.

Hi Chad
I read your articles about Calling Stored Procedures with Spring JDBC Templates. It is the best in kind.
I added your website to my favorites.

Very good tutorial, I got to understand in depth about the connection of the database with java.
Please continue the good work and please mail me the details if you upload any new stuff in regards to Java.
Thanks,

Hi Chad,
Congratulations and many thanks for your very professional video tutorials on JDBC. I love the structured approach, the clear language and your speech (which is very good to understand also for non-native speakers, like me).
In the past years I saw many ‘learning videos’ – some of them free, most of them paid – and the majority of them are very poor.
Greetings

Hello Sir,
First of all I really like your tutorials, specially the ones on dbs. I have a question regarding one?
I’m creating Informative website and I want a search system for the website only like a search engine.
And the search system(engine) will search what is ever in the website and provide links to the pages.
I need to know, what type of db I need to make and how can I connect/link the search system with the db.
I’m using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks for all your amazing Tutorials
If you want a Java solution, then I’d recommend Apache Solr. It is a Java based search engine. This is a low-level solution and will require a good amount of development effort.

Since you are building an information website. You will most likely post articles, blogs and others items. A Content Management System (CMS) designed to serve this purpose. All CMS systems have a built-in website search engine. So I’d highly recommend that you take the CMS approach since all of the coding work is done for you. You simply focus on adding content to the website.
Java-based CMS
– Liferay: http://www.liferay.com
– Hippo CMS: http://www.onehippo.org
many others. just google for “java cms”

Hey, i have a question. I am making an online game to help people revise Spanish. The user can select from various word sets such as animals, colours, fruits. The game consists of 4 spanish words, one in each corner of the page and one english word in the middle. The user has to move a player avatar to the correct corresponding Spanish word. At the end, the user will be given a score. Users can login, and make their own word sets which are stored in a database. What is a good technology to go about making such a game. I’ve learnt Java in university so i was wondering if i should use JSF’s?
I’ve been told a good idea would be to write the game using Javascript and use Java EE on the server, using Ajax callbacks to handle multiplayer aspects. What should i use on the server in this case? JSF?
Hello Chad,
I just finished listening your JSF tutorial and it is the best one I have ever heard. Please continue your wonderful work and I will keep watching! Thanks.

Hi Robert,
Thanks a bunch for the kind words. That made my day 🙂
I was curious what you know about ReST and RESTful services. I’m currently figuring them out and any insight would be great! github @VolleyTKE
Hi Chris,
If you need to get started with Java RESTful web services, I’d recommend you take a look at this tutorial: https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/jaxrs.htm
A friend of mine also has a great video tutorial series that covers Java REST. Free on youtube: https://goo.gl/HJF0cG
Let me know if you need anything else.
