The Net is a bag of treasures, you can get anything you want. I dropped into The McMillian Computer Publishingand registered with the personal bookshelf then picked up Paul McFedries'A Complete Idiot's Guide to Creating an HTML 4 Web Page. It is a such a wonderful book for learning about HTML and comes with the CD that covered all the tools, buttons, icons and animations you need for beefing up your home page.

       But the real fun began when I started to read David Eck's on-line text -"Computer Science 124: Introduction to Programming Using Java Winter 1998" . It is a good starting point for learning computer programming and java. And part of the Lab Worksheets is to create a home page as an excercise for learning the Notes. I am studying the notes now and so following the lab worksheet exercise to create this home page as my progress. Therefore most of the material used here are my learning exercise from Lab Worksheets which makes learning java more interesting than any other computer languages.

       I am sure there are many novices who want to learn java, and what I put on this home page is to show the progress of my learning path, and if there are more "surfers" who have enjoyed these Notes then, we may be able to establish a ring to discuss our experiences or problems.

For this exercise is just to put David Eck's "Moire Pattern" in this home page. While put your mouse pointer inside the canvas then drag it to the border and see the changes.

In this exercise, the window created will have 20 rows and 20 columns of rectangle.Initially those squares were randomly filled with different colors. So the exercise is to randomly pick up a square. Then randomly select one of the four neighbors and convert the color of the picked square to the color of its selected neighbor. Once the lase square of a chosed color is converted, that color is gone forever.
