I've been programming in Java using Java SE, but I want to move on to Java EE. Is this a good idea? I used to think I had to pay to download the Java EE SDK, but that's not the case.
So, basically, I'm a bit confused about what Java EE offers that I can't do on SE. Does any of you lot use Java EE?
"The Java EE platform is built on top of the Java SE platform. The Java EE platform provides an API and runtime environment for developing and running large-scale, multi-tiered, scalable, reliable, and secure network applications."
EE is used for developing large corporate-type apps in environments with big web servers and databases. Is that what you are thinking of doing? - if not SE is fine.
I think SE is fine for me. Thanks :D
If you want to develop for the web though things like Servlets and JavaServerPages(JSPs) that are available in JEE is some pretty neato stuff...
