Hello,

Im doing a degree in 8 months time in Computer Networks. Only thing im worried about is the programming modules. Id like to get a head start on things. The programming modules are as follows:

1) Data Application Programming - The module will show students how to implement strategies to access information from a range of data repositories. Students will develop and programme software applications designed to manipulate that data and represent it appropriately to the user.

2) Client Server Integration - Client and server system architectures, middleware, enterprise wide structures, distributed systems, web systems; SOAP, CORBA, J2EE, XML and .NET

Unfortunately they make little sense to me. Any advice is a appreciated.

Thank you.

1) Basically you'll be learning how to access various types of data sources, especially SQL databases. I'd start learning SQL now.

2) This covers a LOT of territory.

I'd talk with the teacher who will be teaching the courses and get a little more detail. Course descriptions tend to be horribly imprecise.

Thank you.

Any books or websites you recommend to get me started with SQL?

W3Schools Online Web Tutorials has good tutorials for example
