Assignment #2: Hot Date, A Date, Dinner with Friends, Dinner Alone
Write a program that takes three command line arguments as numbers, a month, a day, and a year and prints out the "human readable" date. Example input: 2 11 1975, example output: February 11, 1975.
Here's the catch though, don't just map numbers to months, (i.e. if (month == 1) str = "January"... Rather use some combination of the following classes:
java.util.Calendar
java.util.GregorianCalendar
java.text.SimpleDateFormat
You can look up the useage of these classes in the API documentation (see the school of hard docs post for more info on that). This is a non-trivial program as it is your first foray into class usage. I don't expect you to just do it and post the answer -- so by all means, post questions along the way.

HAHAH! I just got the reference. Good assignment; sounds challenging. I think I'm up to speed enough to code it, but I'll have to get to know those classes.
