With regard to my previous email. I am inviting all those who might be in the same boat as I am, to take the challenge. I started programming using Pascal , Cobol , then VB,Clarion,Delphi,DotNET, PHP. For me OO principles are a challenge to grasp.At the moment if can seat for an exam I think the maximum I can achieve is 35%. But I am setting myself a goal to pass the exams buy more than 75%. And I am confindent that I will achieve my goal. So please those of you who are good Java programmers please bear with me if I ask stuping questions. Your help will be highly appreciated. MORE THAN 75% IS THE TARGET AND I AM GOING TO MAKE IT!!!!!!!!

I wish I had as much time to prepare...I need it
But good luck to you!

Hi

Friends. Last Wednesday I got involved in a terrible car accident. I was driving from Vredendal to Cape town. I was on a business trip travelling with a colleague. after the accident I came out worst. But later she was found to have had a fractured neck vertebrae. She is in hospital and will undergo surgery tomorrow. I was discharged on Thursday and I am recovering well. I am continuing with my exam preparations. Though I may have to write in January.

What a tragedy! Sorry that such a horrific event had to happen to you. I pray that your colleague makes a full recovery, and that you stay strong during such a trying time. You can still achieve your desired results with the help of God, and prayer.
