https://sourceforge.net/projects/wordstudy/
--- By the nature of Java, this program will run on any desktop platform provided you have the Java runtime installed. What you will need to run the application when it's released:
Steps to use:
--- I recently read on here about someone developing a web-based API implementing an Iversen'ish wordlist study method. Personally, I don't like web-api's, I like me some good old standalone apps. Considering that and two other things: First, my love of language learning. Second, my abilities as a programmer (Software Engineer by trade), I have started a project on SourceForge called WordStudy. You are welcome to join me in development on this if you are a Java programmer. I intend to get a development version out soon and hope that people on this forum will test and deliver opinions and suggestions. Please note: This tool is going to be aimed at INITIAL STUDY ONLY! There will always be far better tools for SRS and other methods. Essentially all this app will do will implement the Iversen method via typing recognition for a list obtained from an Excel/CSV file. Once learned, it will discard (will not show) the items you have learned again, it will however, write them to an excel/csv file for importing into an SRS application. --- Please note, that as of right now this is just a shell application. Ready to be filled in by whoever want's to help. That's the beauty of OpenSource baby ;-) I'll do what development I can in my free time till it's gets satisfactory enough where I can say "Whatever anyone else want's to add is fine, but I'm happy with this." You will need the following if you want to develop:
I will make the first end-user testable release when the basic functionality is present. Otherwise anyone with an aptitude of development has free reign. -- Also, any feature requests? Please reply with them ;-P Edited by ManicGenius on 02 March 2010 at 5:15am 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I need to add that I don't intend to take away from the other application. I need
something for myself, and instead of keeping it to myself I intend to share it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'll try this once more add to it. Next year I'll be taking AP Computer Science next year, in which we learn Java. I'll probably start learning over the summer just to get a headstart, but I won't be able to contribute to this for a while :(

I've already made some headway into this tonight. Already reads in Excel files :-)
Basic structure was to make it look simple. If you know basic computer science theory, like flow-structures and such, you'd be good enough to program on this even without knowing Java. Java in terms of difficulty is a joke. Now Haskell and J... Shudder... Even PROLOG!!!!! Oh god... I still have nightmares about those. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They're not so bad. If you only knew SML and APL, you'd find Haskell and J to be jokes, and Java to be hard. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

... the sad part is that I've programmed in APL before. It can be nice but it's not really suited for end-user applications. More of a scientific thing. Though it's built-in sort is pretty kick-a$$. I've probably programmed in most languages except for ADA. Lessee... Java, C/C++, C#, APL, Fortran, COBOL, Basic (good 'ol basic), Prolog, LISP, LaTeX (yeah yeah yeah.... still counts... sort of), Haskell, OCamel, J, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Python, Pascal... Probably leaving out a couple. Oh yeah, Assembler x86... been awhile since that one. Java has me spoiled lately though. And as for Objective-C.... I hate you Apple Computers.
