Java, which is fun and entertaining) and I love the oo concept. What I am
confused about is the many types of programs that can be created : whats
a
servlet do as opposed to an EJB. I understand JSP pages, thank goodness,
and what a jar is. But there lots of words being thrown around that I am
unsure i understand - is there a beginners java glossary anywhere?

Thanks in advance,

I too am just starting to take a look at java. so far, it seems that what
java is mostly usefull for is graphics (ie images, list boxes, combo boxes
etc) other than that most any scripting language, or even plain old C, will
do. Thats my first take on java. What else is it usefull for? (I'm asking
because I'm looking for ways to use it)
